Thanks for the responses all. So looking through the gun cabinet my Anschutz 1717 .17hmr was chosen as the restocking victim candidate. I thought I had a picture of it in the original stock but...

Greetings Charliehorse, A good question would be what was the velocity and was this in line with the ADI/ Hodgdon data. If it was then your pressures should match theirs reasonably well. The slight...

Hi guys, I haven’t read though the whole thread but can I suggest you put the empty can in the freezer before filling. (Stuff moves from hot to cold) law of physics. And yes the full bottle needs to...

Just received this in the mail 39583 So now I can refill or top up half full canisters for my cooker straight from the LPG bottle. Just use a set of scales to know when it's full. Beats taking...

Charlie Horse, have a sneaking suspicion that line is the limit of the cold forging (pressing it into the correct shape) that your die exerts on the case. To prove or disprove this I suggest you...

I think spraypaint might be risky, but worth a test at least. One stockmaker recommended lampblack (candle soot) as a good bedding pigment. Seems to be plenty of guidance on google on gathering it...

I do my case prep separately from reloading, meaning after each shooting session I get the cases to the point of being ready to reload, then store them for reloading later. After firing I: Inspect...
