Neck tension vs Concentricity
- Thread starter Sixgun
- Start date
I said thank you, I could have given you the long speech by saying thank you very much. I did not accuse you of being socially dysfunctional. I did say reloaders are infatuated with tension without a way to measure tension. Reloaders talk in lofty terms about tension, before tension there was bullet hold.
F. Guffey
how many foot pounds of hold if you crimp
is it next weekend ? I might be coyote hunting , thought it was on the 21st
From what I remember from reading Guffey's replies(never an OP asking for info) all of his rifles seem to be old deer hunting rifles and WWII Mausers. He never had a comp quality rifle or a very accurate varmint rifle.
He has made statements like I have about 120 reamers, a year later he says 60.
He took a junk rifle to the range without a scope with 12 different 10 shot loads (120 rounds). They all shot into a 1/4 group.
He said he chambers barrels. Show us a picture of your lathe, workshop, rifle collection and about 10 recent targets.
From his various post he must own over 25 rifles. Never once mentioned a scope in 7 years.
Are you neck turning your brass??
How do you get constant neck tenshion with case necks with unequal neck thickness.
And variations in neck thickness will effect case neck runout.
Brass spring back will effect neck tension so do you anneal your cases.
What make seating die are you using? A Redding and Forster benchrest seat dies have the ability to even correct case neck runout.
The link below is a test of seating dies and you need Adobe Acrobat reader.

Both the case and bullet are held in perfect alignment in the die chamber, and unlike a pinball machine there is no "tilt".

Guffey, You have been called out to show your work (gun smithing) and to tell us of your many shooting related accomplishments.... Are you just going to by-pass this opportunity to educate us on the depths of your prowess in these areas, or be a cheap key board hack.
i think Fguffey repeats the same stuff over and over again, year after year. Nothing new or useful.

No. Brass thats not a consistent thickness cant have the same tension annealed or not
