    New Lapua brass can be quite undersized in the neck generating heavy neck tension. Some seating dies may deal with this better than others. Things could straighten up on once-fired brass when you get...

    Thanks Guys, some useful information. This is a great topic and now that we have grown tired of discussing ladders, OBT, OCW, and 3-shot groups, doesn't this deserve its own thread at some...

    If going with a short action then - as has been pointed out - the 6.5x47 gives the most flexibility for bullet seating. To provide some figures I load 140gr VLDs out to 71mm (70.6mm is just touching...

    Agree. I'm assuming that time is fixed, but no figure has been given, and then the crossing of the data plots in figure 10-33 is unintuitive. Also online searches reveal a differing in opinion over...

    For steels, not for brass according to the literature. Not completely unfortunately. The head around the perimeter for the few millimetres where it emerges from the chamber - from the upper...

    In theory though you should be alright. The temperature at which strength begins to be affected in brass is close to 240 celcius according to the chart below. Despite this I'm inclined to agree with...
