reloading

  1. Reloading order

    If you were going to make a list in order of the process you use to reload what would it look like? So far mine is pretty basic due to the lack of tools and knowledge (working on changing both), but I’d like to add in a few steps like annealing, uniformity primer pocket/flash hole, maybe neck...

  2. Fixing the 22nosler with Hagar brass.

    This might be an eye opener for those whom have lost faith in the 22 Nosler. This brass upgrade makes the cartridge perform as it should have from the beginning. I can wait to see the rest of the series of videos!

  3. Is my custom barrel a waste? Help

    So major quandary today. I tend to get wordy, so I’ll try to get to my point. I know I’m gonna be asked, so I’ll say this right off the bat. It’s a 6.5cm, 1/8 twist, 26” custom as barrel. Roughly 6-700 round count I normally shoot Berger 140 hybrids. If I touch (not jam) the lands, my...

  4. Neck turn before or after fire forming?

    Do I neck turn “skimming/cleanup” before or after first fire forming. The reason I ask is because I noticed the brass grows on average 4 thou in many directions. Shoulder bumps up and out, necks sucks in a little i am guessing. If you turn the neck and “skin the shoulder” I am assuming that...

  5. Annealing till glow or 750??

    So I have an annealeez. I also have 750 tempilaq. With the cheap hornady brass I have, if I turn the lights out the brass gets the deep glow right at 750 degrees. Perfect. Then when I do the lapua brass I turned to the same neck thickness to the hornady and run it through the annealer I...

  6. Best flash hole debur tool?

    What is the best flash hole debur tool? The clincher is I don’t want to shave the actual flash hole, just the burrs. Small primer lapua brass .059 and don’t want to expand them.

  8. Is this the correct steps of accurate reloading?

    So I am going from novice reloading, to try to be a little more advanced. Bought some equipment this week. And I am adding some steps to the process and am confusing myself a little at this point. So I am trying to get the steps in order, and want to be corrected if I am wrong or one of the...

  9. 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...

  10. 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

  11. 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...

  12. 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?

  13. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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

  17. 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...

    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?
