  1. What to do with case mouths when the brass doesn't grow

    Pretty much already been said... FLS will eventually get them to grow. If you are not using an expander it will take longer - no need to be in a hurry. Also keep in mind that most SAAMI chambers have more room than the book. You may want to gauge your chamber or get a look at it with a bore cam...

  2. Lapua brass in 223 and 6.5 creedmoor ?

    I run Lapua for 223 Rem and 6 Dasher (6 BR parent), and Peterson for 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 Win. I also have Lapua in bot 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 Win but stopped running it - nothing wrong with it, just bought Peterson in larger batches as I started shooting more. I don't have a preference between...

  3. Proper New Brass Initial firing

    If I don't already have a load worked up (new chamber / barrel config) and I can expand new brass in an old/test barrel than I do that. I find that it takes at least 1, in many cases 2 firings to fully expand new brass. I don't do anything serious in the way of load development until after the...

  4. Teslong bore scope

    Well, I cannot real say since I have no idea what the refresh rate is. I just plugged it into a miniPC that has Windows 10 on it and then launched the camera app. The image was blurry / washed out until I adjusted the mirror length. I can now turn the light up to full power and still see things...

  5. Head first into precision reloading: spend my money

    Most of it is in here ^^^ Can split hairs on manufacturers and argue just for the sake of it. However, you do need a ball micrometer in addition to the calipers, and I would go with a Brown and Sharpe dial test indicator rather than what the 21st concentricity tool ships with.

  6. Teslong bore scope

    For the light issue, you should have a ring under the main mirror housing. Back the housing away from the lens (increase the distance from the mirror to the lens) then lock the housing in place with the ring. Finger tight on all; try a couple of different focal lengths. Can't really comment on...

  7. First loads in brand new brass

    I think you should figure out how far off the shoulder is compared to where it will end up, and check the case volume, and then decide. Personally, if I was going to be moving the shoulder more than 0.004 then I would load them in a test barrel and stretch them with some other bullet. If the...

  8. New shooting glasses

    I had a bad experience with contacts. Get fit on a whim at a big box store. Red eye, would not stay in, kept getting dry, all that fun stuff. Gave up on them. Many months later I spoke to my regular optometrist. He gave me a different brand and suggested a 2 week lens rather than a 30 day lens...

  9. GUN CASE FOAM.

    I buy my case foam from Foam Factory. Looks like the have eggcrate foam: https://www.foambymail.com/acoustical-eggcrate-foam.html

  10. Funnel

    I have the full 419 setup + the 20 cal head. Was rather skeptical before buying it. I was tired of my primary plastic RCBS funnel from the 90's as the inside of the drop mouth was chewed from many years of hitting case mouths, and the MTM (think they were MTM) funnels were not getting it done...

  11. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    Depending on how good/bad the floor is and how your are securing the top, you may simply be able to put playing cards on top of the legs before screwing down the top. Personally, I would get the outer most legs temporarily supported, pull a line across them, level them, and then measure the...

  12. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    My first bench, including the shelving above it, was made from OSB and pine studs. My current setup is the result of roughly 26 years of figuring out what I care and don't care about. I have seen several new reloaders run to building stuff that ends up frustrating them once they learn. I say...

  13. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    The drawer boxes are HF (just the wood, no rails), but everything else is completely custom. I built and finish sanded the legs and tops in the garage, then moved everything to the room. Secured the legs, built the floating drawer sides (measured in place, but built in the garage), sanded the L...

  14. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    The actual layout ended up modified just slightly, but this give you the general idea.

  15. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    Ha, yeah those are from right after I built the room. These are from this morning...

  16. Reloading bench build help/ideas

    I don't like cabinets. Leg room and a foot board for me since I will both sit and stand depending on the mood as my benches are tall, as is the chair (drafting stool height chair). I made it so the drawers just barely miss the top of my legs when my feet are on the foot boards. The rolling...

  17. Carbon Ring - In Pictures

    @Texas10 correct, 2 rings being discussed. Keeping in mind the following is my opinion... For the most part, cameras make everything look worse than the really are. If you can control contrast and focus then you have a better chance at seeing what is really going on, but not many cameras have...

  18. Carbon Ring - In Pictures

    I suppose something like that is possible, but in my experience it is the transition to the throat that scratches stuff. Sometimes from fire cracking, sometimes from little pieces of brass getting blown out of the case (from chamfer, primer pocket reaming, etc.) that get stuck on the entry...

  19. Carbon Ring - In Pictures

    This thread is a bit old but since it was resurrected, I am going to chime in. The carbon ring that matters is the one that you get at and past the lands, not the one that shows up in front of the case mouth. It is the one in the rifling that stops the patch from going in clean, and also the...

  20. Sinclair Heavy Varmint vs. Protektor front bench rest

    There may be some confusion regard what 'Protektor' everyone is talking about. With the Sinclair, the Basic comes with a Protektor front rest. It does not have much in the way of adjustment and the bag is not supported by the sides. "Protektor" also has their own 3-legged front rest. It is...
