  1. Does brass need to be cleaned every time?

    Hoping for some quick answers. Trying to fireform brass to send off to die maker. Today is my only day to get to the range. Do I need to tumble between firings? I want to get the brass fired 3 times today to send off tomorrow. Also, for fireforming, is 3 times good? Or is that to...

  2. Decapping die for Lapua 6.5, 1.5mm flash hole quandry?

    now that I am settled on Lapua brass for my 6.5cm. I see it has a 1.5mm flash hole. Problem, does not seem like anybody makes a decapping rod to fit except Redding. Unfortunately reviews say the Redding is garbage? What’s everyone else using Thanks

  3. If you had to choose brass tonight, which brand?

    So I am about to drop some money on brass. I asked one of the prominent members on the forum that I trust about Lapua or Peterson brass. Said I will not go wrong either way. So here is my quandary. If you had to choose 6.5cm brass 1. Lapua outstanding reputation and quality. Very...

  4. Lapua does not recommend re-annealing?

    Hey all, Was in Lapua’s website and for the 6.5 brass, they say they do not recommended Re-annealing their off the shelf factory annealed brass. Is their a reason for this? I know most on here anneal every time If I’m not wrong. So why does lapua say this and are they correct?

  5. Stardard press bullet seater vs arbor press bullet seater

    Hi all, As I am learning, and spend time on the forum, I start to have more questions. Sorry if I ask a lot. This like being in a room full of teachers. Today’s question is ;), if I was going with a non custom bullet seater (because I may be to late in the game with my barrel, not...

  6. Peterson fat neck brass?

    I am shooting 6.5, (no turn neck). Peterson makes a fat-neck brass. Is that a good option for someone running a standard chamber to get the effect of a custom turn neck chamber? I am assuming so, but figured I’d ask the pros Also, if that’s the case, I will go with the Peterson fat neck...

  7. Custom reloading dies from chamber cast????

    I’m am new to this and need recommendation for custom dies. They will have to be made from a chamber cast or fired brass. I know of Neil Jones. But I know there are others. Neil is about 6 months out. And recommendations? Who is “The” benchrest die maker! Thanks

  8. Which neck wall thickness gauge to use???

    Looking for my first neck thickness gauge. I figured instead of buying the wrong one and have to replace it, rather buy the correct one off the bat. Which is why I’m asking. I was considering the Sinclair digital handheld gauge which is highly rated or the Redding Sinclair model...

  9. Where benchrest guys measure bullet runout?

    Just picked up a 21 century concentricity gauge tool. But I don’t actually know where to place the pointer on the bullet. Near the top, ogive, or where it enters the neck case?? What do the benchresters do?? Where do you guys place the pointer of the gauge?

  10. Berger 140 hybrids anywhere?

    The Berger 140gr hybrid 26414’s seemingly have all been abducted by aliens again. Does anybody know who may have some in stock?

  11. How to turn brass to proper diameter?

    How do I determine the throat diameter of my barrel? I have basically figured out how to measure the rest the chamber. But I want to buy Peterson fat neck brass. I just don’t know how much I am suppose to turn it to. I am newbe to neck turning. Thanks

  12. 30br bullet pointing???

    Dumb question. From what I have read, you really just start to see the results of bullet pointing after 300yards. And 30br for benchrest. which is the most popular sub 300 yard gun, so do 30br rounds ever get pointed? Seems pointless. Really did not mean to end that with a pun.

  13. Is the premier accuracy fli rite the best one?

    What is “the best” as far as concentricity gauges on the market. I know 21 century is up there, but the fli rite seems to be the only one that can actually fix the runout.

  14. Resizing only part of the neck??

    When I bought my Forster shoulder bump die/ neck die, in the instructions it says that you can loosely fit the bushing. This will cause you to only size about 2 thirds the neck. Leaving the bottle third to the fired dimension. Basically leaving a big external donut on the neck. They say...

  15. Flat base vs boat tail question in 300 blk

    So I went to the range with new gun. I shot 2 different bullets. This is a fun gun and a cheap gun and was not expecting much. The first rounds I shot were magtech 123gr. The grouping was what I was expecting from this gun. About 1”- 1.5” at 50 yards. Figured that was not bad for a...

  16. 220gr smk .308 Best Price?

    Does anybody know who has the best price on smk bullets, specifically 30cal, 220gr smk hpbt’s? Thanks

  17. Redding competition 30br dispenser question

    Quick question for anybody who owned one of these. I picked it up used and loaded it with h4350 tonight. When I tried to measure a 35gr charge, it came out 25gr. Is this because of the powder I’m using, or does it need to be calibrated some how? Thanks

  18. Bullet depth vs powder charge, which first?

    So I am developing a load for my rifle. And just got majorly confused. I am under the assumption that I have to figure out my powder charge before my bullet depth, but when I figure that out, I will then have to figure out my bullet depth which will change my powder charge??!! And if...

  19. Will powder charge change, changing brass?

    Well, It’s all in the title. If I have a load developed for say hornady brass, and wanted to switch to Peterson, will my powder charge Change?

  20. Bullet seating and neck grip question

    So I have a 6.5 creedmoor. The hornady eld match 140gr ammo I have used is 2.81 Oal. So I bought the hornady oal gauge with the 6.5cm cartridge. With the Berger 140 hybrid I measured 2.93/2.94. Does that sound normal? Seems like a massive jump. I am not “jamming” the lands but just...
