    shooternz liked post by grandpamac On thread : Neck turning...is it worth doing ?
    Greetings Ftx325, Not generally thought to be a good idea on factory chambers. Makes a loose neck fit even looser. Only called for if the rifle has a tight neck chamber. These are cut that way by...

    Do you batch weigh your brass ? Do you anneal ? Do you uniform your flash holes ? Do you trim ? Do you batch weigh your projectiles ? Do you clean and tumble your brass ? Probably a whole heap...

    shooternz liked post by ebf On thread : Fireforming case with cleaning patches and pistol powder
    If you want good conformity of the brass to your chamber, you really want to use a projectile and get it jammed into the lands, so that the case base is tight against the bolt face. That way you get...

    shooternz liked post by Noswal On thread : Any one seating bullets using a graphite powder?
    Yes when sizing. Lube on the case, dip neck into graphite media with a twist then full size. Even after trimming, neck prep and cleaning there is still graphite in the neck to help with consistent...

    shooternz liked post by zimmer On thread : Auto powder dispensers
    I used an RCBS Uniflow thrower for years. Dispensed just under and finished with a trickler on my old Ohaus D5 beam scales. With the Uniflow like any thrower it is all about consistant technique/how...

    shooternz liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : Auto powder dispensers
    A decent powder thrower is way quicker than any auto dispenser. Even my "budget" lee thrower will hold a charge from start to finish loading 50 rounds, I weigh every 5th or 6th one quickly to make...

    shooternz liked post by GWH On thread : Lightweight loads for 30-06
    I find the IMR4198 works far better than 2206H for reduced charge/recoil loads, it gives far better accuracy and can be used for almost any cartridge from 223 to 3006.

    shooternz liked post by Tahr On thread : 223 ELDM powder choice
    I use 2206 with 77 grn Tipped MK and gimp uses 2208 with 80 ELDM. I can't talk for gimp but I'm sure his is super accurate as is mine. I would load a few with each powder to try. Just go for the...

    Max load getting blowback? Sounds a bit odd. I would just change powder and see how that goes. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

    shooternz liked post by Moa Hunter On thread : Fireforming New Brass
    Which case is the longer ? With Ackley cases they are designed slightly shorter than the parent, meaning that 2506 factory loads can be fired in a 2506 Ackley chamber as an example and headspace...

    53 gr vmax is probably the best bc bullet you will shoot out of a 12 twist. Drift being both a fuction of bc and speed run some numbers and see what you get.

    I haven't watched the NZ episodes (will do now though) - but I have watched the last 3 seasons - I can see some of the reasons they may not like the NZ hunting scene, some of them I agree with. ...
