Shoulder Bumping & Neck Sizing

It is possible to modify a go gage to go from go-gage length to infinity. I see no advantage to going to infinity but I have found chambers that were .020" longer than a go-gage length chamber, I did that after I was told it could not be done.

This is perfect.
He is NOT answering his OWN unasked question.
 
OK Guys

I have finally had enough of FG. :mad:

All that's left for you now is the funny papers! Maybe re-runs of the Three Stooges.

We've still got savagedasher though.
And then there is the Original Stooges with Moe, Larry, and Curly. I am not a fan of Shemp or Curly Joe. I do not need Google because I have old TV Guides form the 50'so_O Technology is so overrated:rolleyes: Ban the BUMP!

Nvreloader, Click on my user name, a pop-up should appear after that it should be a matter of reading the contents. To ignore click 'ignore'.

There are many members on this forum that are real good at dishing out insults, there are not many that can take the insults, lack of character? Anyhow, I call them Alabama Leg dogs.

Why should anyone have to take your character and your garbage?
You come on here and make it a normal point to insult almost everyone in the reloading universe.
Why don't you grow some courage to do the right thing?

F Guffy said something one time that I found enlightening, and I'm not gonna say that it may not happen again. At any rate, I'm not so brilliant that I can afford to overlook any source of possible intelligence.

One of my favorite people once said, "We're all dummies, just in different ways".

Oh yeah, Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along. Sob!!".

One day i was sitting at my loading bench thinking how useful it would be to make a tutorial from start to finish on how i load ammo. What tools, how to use them, and all the other stuff i learned by going to matches, but stuff like this is why i never did. No matter how small you shoot, or how well you do, someone always has something say about you "being wrong". OP, go to the ibs site, look at results, and take advice from those listed.

I have a few M1917s, one has a long chamber, and then I found another one in Bradford, Pa, and then I found another one in Arlington, Tx. It was about that time I decided M1917 with long chambers were common or 'not unusual'. It was about this time I found there were problems at an arsenal, seems there was a smith that used different methods and techniques when checking the length of a chamber; he did not spend a lot of time going through the motions. Anyhow; because the other smiths did not understand what he was doing they blamed him for all the long chambered M1917s. Rather than agree with all of the smiths at the arsenal I decided I would try to determine 'what it was' he was doing that they did not understand.

Sure enough, I have no ideal why they did not ask him to explain his techniques, the good part; the smith was not sensitive and was not concerned with the smiths that behaved like they were afraid he knew more than they did.

Very often I hear someone say: "I can't check the head space because I do not have a head space gage" or "I can not check head space on my rifle because I only have one head space gage". I always disagree, I understand disagreeing threatens all smiths and reloaders, that is not my problem.

Love the picture! I'm collecting no-one else understands comments. It would take several pages to post them. Probably not appropriate for the website. The goal of making good ammo is to shoot small groups. He needs to show us his targets. Kind of like you cannot see my tax return it's being audited.
 
BTW

Irwin Cory passed away two months ago at age 102.

I do not know enough about reloading to render an opinion on its various aspects. The one thing I do know is that for just about every question there are several answers and opinions.

It will cost a lot more in the long run trying out different things, but to me that is a lot better than having lingering doubts about what will best for me after reading these opinions.

Just as an example;

Neck sizing. Non bushing, bushing or collet or don't do it at all?

After purchasing RCBS dies, then Redding Competition dies and the various turning equipment and then measurement tools, you know what gave me the least runout? Lee neck sizing collett and Reading Competition seater. Comparative group size was my determining factor. We can expound here and on other boards, but make your own decisions based upon you own experiences.
