  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. Gracey vs Wilson trimmer help

    I know I have asked this in the past, But now that I have a better knowledge of reloading I understand what people were talking about last time I asked. Whether trimming from the base of the cartridge (Wilson) or the shoulder (gracey). Tho i bought the Wilson a while back, to trim and...
  4. Why Turn Neck Exterior?

    So, here is my question for the Benchrest guys or “pro” neck turner. Why turn the outside of a neck? I can imagine that turning the “inside” of a neck would make a difference. Centering the bullet. But why the outside? When the brass is sized, the neck is not touching the inside...
  5. Sb p4fine reticle question

  6. Question for RPR owners / reloading

    i Have a question for Ruger precision rifle owners that reload. I have a 6.5. I am trying to find a magazine that allows for a longer bullet length. The magpuls that come with it just fit the factory ammo. With the tips litterally touching the plastic. I bought a magazine from...
  7. How much shoulder bump?

    Hey all, I am wondering how much to shoulder bump. I have once fired brass out of my rifle. First off, is once fired brass the actual size of my chamber? And I always need to bump back to that point? Or do I not bump the shoulder back on the once fired because it is the actual size...
  8. 21 century vs Sinclair’s digital concentricity gauge

    I know everyone is gonna say 21 century, but I’m drawn to Sinclair’s digital concentricity gauge. Easy and quick to read. Easy to set at the low point in the brass. Opinions and reviews welcome Thanks

  10. Reloading scale help? Which one?

    Hi, I know there a lot of opinions on this. But I am looking for a good reliable scale for reloading. I know the A&D fx is the one everyone is in love with, But at the moment. I don’t want to spend 500. So I was looking at the A&D EJ-200. It measures to .01 Is that enough...
