  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...

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

  3. 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

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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...

  8. Sb p4fine reticle question

    Wondering how people like the sb p4f reticle. I am not a benchrest shooter, But I like zooming in to higher powers at 200yrds. Problem is, my Steiner 5-25 military with the msr reticle, when zoomed the cross hairs completely cover the bullseye by a lot. I love the scope, but not...

  9. 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...

    Im buying a Forster bump die, here is my question. My neck of load round is .290 The empty fired brass measures .295 I called forster, and the recommended I use .288 and get a .287 for when brass thins (this sounds right) The question is, with the .288 bushing I will be bumping my neck almost...

  14. 6.5 Creedmoor, small vs large primers

    I am setup to reload 6.5 with brass that accepts large rifle primers. But lapua brass states small primers are more accurate on that cartridge. Has anybody tested match quality primers large and small on 6.5?

  15. Forster co ax press. B3 vs B5

    I know what the actual differences are, but is there “worthy” differences between the B3 vs B5? Thanks

  16. Any Annealeez reviews?

    i am looking for a good, but low budget annealer. The annealezz I find very interesting and at a good price point for an automated annealer. Looking for any reviews/opinions if anybody has one. Thanks

  17. Le Wilson vs little crows worlds best trimmer

    Any opinions between these two trimmers? I was set on the Wilson, But the worlds best trimmer seems to be a “faster option”. I won’t compromise quality, so it’s not necessarily about being faster. But if they are as good as each other, I would go the faster route. If anybody has...

  18. Match grade primer testing. Results?

    Has anybody performed any testing on match primers. Fed 210M bs CCI Br2? With any proven results?

  19. Bolt face diameter

    Hi guys. Does anyone know what bolt face counterbore diameter Falcons or Turbos use (single shot) or even an acceptable diameter? I know SAAMI specifies .278" -.012" for rimfire ammo rim (just measured a RWS and it is .271"). I am making one bolt so I just want to assure I don't commit any...

  20. Flashhole deburring before trim? Annealing?

    Reloading question. 1. Do I have to trim length of brass before I can debut the flash hole? I know the cone on the flash hole debur tool sits on the neck of the brass. I am assuming if it’s not trimmed, it won’t be even surface at the top of the neck???? This is not new brass I am...
