  3. OGIVE Distance

    I was trying real hard to fine-tune my 243. I thot I was going to move up in the league toward "High-End" shooters. :-( Using a Redding Big Boss ll, and Redding Type S bushing dies. Cases were all trimmed and very close. My focus was OGIVE length to be very consistent. Bla Bla Bla. When I'm...

    Hornadys new Measurement Station

    Thought this looked pretty interesting, weight is 8 pounds and has leveling feet. Just thought it looked interesting for comparing ogive, headspace location and bullet to ogive location. Anyone seen one?

  5. Ogive

    I am new to reloading. I have a custom rem 700 action in 6.5 CM. I have been using factory ammunition up until recently when I decided to start reloading. Admittedly using Hornady 143 ELD-X factory ammunition I found it difficult to close the bolt. I didn’t give it much thought until I went to...

Most all the time, the abbreviation COAL, means the length of a cartridge, given in inches, from...

  9. Case Length And OAL measurement

    Hey guys, This might be a dumb question but I haven't been able to find a good answer. I'm a long time gun enthusiasts but fairly new to making hand loads.. My question is how important is it to trim all your cases to the same length if you're seating your bullets based off the OAL...

  10. Strange Issue with OAL Gauge

    I have a Hornady OAL gauge I have been using for a couple of years now. It has always worked fine. A few weeks ago I chambered a new barrel (Bartlein 6.5mm Creedmoor) and did a load test at 100 yards, then tested the winning load out to 1,175 yards, shot a match, all was good etc. The gun got...
