Hey guys, a bit long winded but I believe in fully describing a topic or issue to prevent un-needed confusion or conversation. I've got a re-occurring issue on my brass, of which, I have the culprit figured out but am looking for advice on the best way to remedy the effected cases. I've got a...

I have been reloading .338 LM for about a year now. I have several batches of 50 rounds (Lapua Brass) that I have been working though. Tonight I was re-sizing my "batch 1" and found a few with neck cracks. Batch 1 has the following reloading stats on it: 1 Full length and 3 Neck Sizes (4 if...

I have purchased a pretty good amount of new lapua .308win brass lately and it comes in this nifty blue box that I can use for other things except brass!! The reason I say this is because some of the necks are dented inward. I have a set of redding does that I use to reform fired brass that I...

Don't want neck turning war here just want to try it with and without as an experiment. What trimmer do you guys use and do you neck turn on it or recommend a hand held like sinclair 4000 etc? I have had a forester trimmer in the past and inside neck reamed necked down brass but never neck...

Hey guys...I havent got into neck turning my cases yet and was wondering how beneficial it can be. I only use Lapua and Winchester cases. Also is there one neck turner thats better than another as far as brand goes? Not looking to spend very much.

How much neck tension are you guys running on a 260 Rem. Using Rem Brass, outside loaded Diameter shows around .291" Would a .288 Bushing be to much neck tension? Will be loading from a AICS Mag. Thanks

I forgot to ask this quetion on my last mesg. Do you have to lube the necks of brass when sizing? I havnt been and dont seem to have a problem. I use a lube pad. How would you get the lube on the necks, with a swipe of your finger after you roll them? Or should I just get some spray and make it...

This has probably been covered but i need some quick info. Im going to order a set of dies for a project rifle im working on in 243. Since it is my only 243 would it be better to order a fl die set or a neck sizer die set? Since its only really going to be a hunting rifle im looking at the lee...

Guys, I have a Wilson trimmer on the Sinclair stand with the micro adjustment system. Then I have 2 of the Wilson neck turners that use the same system and the Wilson mount on two of them for 223 and 308 and two more on a custom mount that two are mounted on. I will put up pictures if it will...

I recently received a set of RCBS Gold Medal dies as a gift and I’m in need of some data so I can order the correct neck sizer bushings. The instructions on how to determine the correct size bushing is as follows. Measure the outside neck diameter of a sample loaded cartridge, subtract .002"...

Is it SOP to lubricate the inside of each case neck when pressing boat-tail bullets? Speaking of - what's your preferred method of lubricating cases in general - spray, pad, finger lube it, etc.?

I am still new to reloading and have a general question: for high quality ammo is it necessary to full length size each time? I have heard talk of neck sizing only. Is there a special die that is a neck sizer only? Can anyone point me in the right direction? As it stand now I full length...

I'm a at loss of words to what I experienced yesterday while reloading. I was reloading some 175 SMKs in Lapua .308 brass yesterday when I experienced some unusually high neck tension. This was with Lapua brass that had been shot 6x and I had just annealed the brass using the Hornady annealing...

I normally neck size my .308 cases with a Lee Collet Die and I wanted to try partial neck sizing to see if it improved accuracy. I took some Federal cases and turned the necks a little to clean them up and partial neck sized them with a Redding Type S bushing. I loaded up these cases and and...

I have been playing around with hBN as a neck lube. Seems to be much better than mica. I know its sort of expensive but I bought a pound and its more than a lifetime supply for me. Has anyone else tried it??

I have had some problems with large SD's and have moved to weighing each charge on a balance beam scale. I have a friend who swears that i have to start neck turning. Does it make a big difference in practical (1000 yard vs. benchrest) accuracy?

How important is neck runout on larger calibers?
