    Double check the legislation to make sure you don’t need a dealers licence for it.

    I've found that forming the so-called "false shoulder" by going up just one calibre has never been sufficient. Grandpamac's use of 35-cal for .280 would do the job, though the brass in the necks is...

    Greetings Bill999, Making .280 Rem brass out of .270 or .30-06 cases is not as simple as making 7mm-08 cases out of .308 cases. The .280 Rem is over 1mm (0.050") longer to the shoulder than .270 or...

    This is definitely a problem often overlooked. If you cant get a small base die, then giving the web of the case a rub with fine emery paper will overcome the problem
