    Dead is better liked post by G.I_Joel On thread : Decapping live primers
    I was wondering about the same issue the other day. I like the water trick. Could you not just shoot them in the chamber with no powder/projectile then decap?

    Dead is better liked post by JaSa On thread : Verdict on Selleys Sugar Soap re wet tumbling
    - Sodium carbonate (baking soda) is a hard water conditioner. Soaps don't foam that well in hard water so you add that and foam is back. Ever tried soap in the amazon river with it's soft water? Foam...

    I love longbows but shooting one in my backyard would be highly inadvisable. I will never forget sticking a longbow arrow through the side of my friends house when I was in my early teens (no one was...

    Stefan, you have to debur your cases everytime you seat bullets. The guys on the forum shared some good advice. Feel free to ask, we'll keep on helping and giving advice.

    Hey Stefan. Sounds like you have not deburred(or not enough) the cases on the inside? What kind of deburring tool are you using? (If possible, try and get a VLD type deburring tool). Decapping...

    I've tried both loaded and unloaded using just a Harris on various lighter rifles, not my target rigs, and I can't see any benefit in loading them. Here's a 600yd result with my lightish 6.5x47 shot...

    Dead is better liked post by gimp On thread : Is leaning into your bipod a myth?

    Not correct- can easily be done esp with a combo of high neck tension/ fouling/ heavy brass/ hot primers/... 2208 is in fact an ideal powder for 150 class projectiles in a .308- ask any fullbore...
