    zimmer liked post by Finnwolf On thread : Calibre Choice in the 1970's

    Back in the 1960's .22 and .308 calibre rifles were given a discounted Duty rate because they were calibres manufactured by CAC in Auckland. Whilst the only.308" bore centrefires granted that status...

    zimmer liked post by Pommy On thread : Seating depth question
    By my math, you had 5 thou jump last time because the headspace took up 5 thou jump of the 10 thou you got from your BTO measurement. So you'd want to seat 3 thou further out now because the case...

    Greetings All, I think dannyb has nailed it. The projectiles are seated too deep and the neck can't get a good grip on the projectile. Also seating the FL size die hard down on the shell holder...
