   Greetings, The problem is likely that the dies are old and designed for the thicker continental brass. More recently the US and some continental brass is thinner and does not size the necks enough....

   Greetings, For me handloading and F Class shooting with a few NZDA shoots thrown in keep my mind active and me sane in my latter years. Regards Grandpamac.

   Greetings, Chamfer the inside and outside of the mouths to remove any roughness. If there are any dings in the mouths run your expander button in and out of the case mouth BUT DO NOT REPEAT NOT FULL...

   blip liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5 or 7mm08

   Greetings, What is the barrel twist in the 7mm-08? The 6.5 will be 1 in 8". What projectiles do you want to use? You probably want to think about what you want to do with the rifle that you can't do...

   Are there any two that are actually the same? Someone has been trying real hard to chamber the two on the right. GPM.

   I suspect the seating die was set too low and was trying to crimp into a non existent groove. The result is a collapsed shoulder like you see. An overlong case can do the same thing when trying to...

   Greetings, I think that the twist will be too slow for 180 grain projectiles. I think that the barrel will be 22 inch if it is original. Probably made around 2004 with the bolt lock like that. Max...

   Went out to the shed to check, Both the Lyman FL and RCBS Neck dies resize Norma or Lapua case necks just enough to hold the projectile but nowhere enough for Winchester cases. These dies were...

    JohnDuxbury liked post by grandpamac On thread : .243 velocity with 90 grain bullets

    Greetings JohnDuxbury, You would only lose around 50 fps from your shorter barrel so this is no biggy. You are around 100 fps faster than the book data. It looks to me that you have a miss match in...

    Greetings, There are two 6.5x55 rifles in my cupboard, a M38 and a T3. I have used AR2209 in both. Current production AR2209 is a little faster than that used in the ADI data so 42 grain should get...

    Greetings littlemorepork, I have one of those Bergara's with the 20 inch 12 twist barrel that I bought as a packable rifle. It shoots well with 150 grain spire points so would be fine out to 300...

    Just shows that there is very little that is really new. Case shapes change but performance not so much. GPM.
