    I would love this press although I don't need it. Bluetooth enabled too. Very cool.

    The crosshair on the Nikon currently mounted to my 223 is quite thick and pretty much obscures those dots. I used the BDC to aim at the dots below, so blowing out the aiming point was not an issue....

    I checked fired cases out of the chamber and they had zero runout. Sized in the body die (not just my 308) and there would be a few thou runout. Not much but there. Measured with a 21st Century gauge...

    You're right. I take more notice of SD but in my best loadings get single figures on both. And yes, you can delude yourself with small sample size eg the classic cherry picked 3 shot group. A bit...

    Hey Zimmer :) Always fun talking to you about reloading. I'm curious about your experience with the Redding body dies. That's what I've been using for years. Do you think the body die somehow...

    Agreed. When the annealing "fad" appeared I decided unless I could do it consistantly case to case I wouldn't bother. I never had a need to do it due to split necks. Since gone down first the...

    grandpamac 100% agree, I am a member of the Hamilton Deer Stalkers, most members use Tokaroa. Ideally need to tee in with the Thames Branch for use of the Paeroa Range. All are great options, but if...

    grandpamac liked post by stagstalker On thread : Powder for short barrelled .270
    Shorter barrels don’t necessarily require faster powders. Keep using the same powder you would use for whatever pill you are using. Great example is Rel 26 in my short 260. Slow burning powder but...

    21inches ain't that short at all, all traditional 270 powders will work just fine. 2213sc, 2209, IMR4831, RL17 etc. My choice would be 2213sc, had good results with any projectiles, especially with...
