Clickers

[Alex Wheeler]

This has been a hot topic lately. This is a very quick and basic visual on what they are.

Sounds like a reason to FL size every time.

Paging @Erik Cortina LOL.

Did we post on the same facebook group about a certain glue paste eater eating glue paste while giving sizing advice?

Good stuff and very well presented.

Is there a hitch in the process when you open the bolt or is it one smooth action? Also how audible is it if one is wearing heavy/ear protection?

If you have hearing protection and can’t hear it you for sure can feel it.

Thank you I had no idea. That explains so much about my "problems". Im my 15th or so load for my 308 lapua brass.
Well i manged to wear the camming surface on my rem700 bolt too but that is becasue I was taught how to run a bolt gun by a Marine
I run my bolt "gingerly"

Also a good reason to have a small base or ring die. Hopefully custom dies prevent a click, but if we ever do get it, a small base or ring die can fix it. And no, as many of us have seen, small basing/ring basing does not hurt accuracy. It doesn't even change the tune.....

Good video information. Thanks for posting. After sizing I run every piece of brass through the action sans firing pin. If I get any that are tight, they go in the scrap can. Some seem to work harden earlier than others and I've found they aren't worth saving. YMMV.

 

[Mr Underbridge]

is there a die that just squeezes the base to the proper size?

 

[rardoin]

is there a die that just squeezes the base to the proper size?

Yes. A 'small base' die. Available in most popular chamberings.

Ah well ok never mind

A ring die is the step up from the small base
