  1. Sizing dilemma

    True! Shoulder ! I'm not doing well at all today!
  2. Sizing dilemma

    LOL! I think that the language police are here! But if case base to ogive dimension varies, it will result in headspace variation. Is that worded better?
  3. Sizing dilemma

    I bet if more folks checked each case as they full length sized them, they would be surprised by the variation in headspace that they are getting. Lots of things can make a thousands or so difference, dirt on shell holder or case head, flex or wear in the press, different amount of force...
  4. A Sad Picture

    Tell your wife thank you. I know that may not mean much to her and is of no help, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
  5. Hobbies to pass the time

    I do a little woodworking, and the wife has a few things she would like me to make for her. I also fish, but ice is just starting to go out, so that will have to wait a bit. We love to cruise and had a 35 day trip from Australia to Alaska scheduled for April/May, that's not happening now! I...
  6. School me on nickel plated cartridges

    I've never had a problem with nickel plated brass, in fact, I believe that it extracts a little easier. I had a Sig 1911 that would occasionally fail to extract unless I used nickel plated brass.

  9. Incident at range

    I volunteer as an RSO at one of our state's shooting ranges and want to share an incident that happened last week. It is a real wake up call for me. It terrifies me to think about how fast it happened. Dad handed off a loaded gun to 12 year old son and the lad's finger went went right to...
  10. Hornady headspace guages

    Either .375 or .400 will work. Just do not interchange them. Pick one and stay with it.
  11. Redding, Forster, or Wilson seater.. Hmmmmm

    I've no experience with any of them, but just got a Redding. I'm hoping that it is as good as it is advertised.
  12. Sizer Die Problem

    Regardless of what they say they did, I would want to run some brass into the die, take some measurements and verify.
  13. Steps in working up a load.

    Me too. I think that I would make a fairly serious reduction in the powder charge and work back up slowly.
  14. How many firings before growing stops?

    Definitely use a spent primer! Thank you for saying that, I should have said it in my post.
  15. How many firings before growing stops?

    I can't tell you how many firings your brass will require, but if you are looking to measure your chamber you can just start a SPENT primer in an empty case and let the bolt seat the primer by chambering it. The primer will stand proud of the case and can be used to measure headspace.

    I hope this proves true for me. I just ordered one.

    The things to think about when seating bullets are will it fit my magazine. This is mostly an issue if the rifle is to be used hunting. Next is accuracy. Each rifle is unique, and you will have to test to determine what is best for you. Also safety can be an issue. If you decide to load a...
