    They were designed that way , the pressure under the barrel at the fore stock is to make up for the poor bedding of the action . Free floating the barrel and bedding the action can show better...

    Would double check it first, some of the older rifles were stocked with a deliberate bump to put upwards pressure on the barrel. Have seen this myself on an old Sako and due to the location and...

    Greetings Mikee, Can't say I agree on not neck sizing. I have had excellent results over the years. Granted it does take some more discipline in keeping case batches segregated and some of the neck...

    You need to confirm why it wont chamber. It could be headspace, it could be trim lenght, it could be the base is expanded, it could be the shoulder diameter but I think this last one is unlikely. ...

    How are you setting up your sizing die and are you measuring shoulder bump?

    For a few cents a primer I wouldn’t bother trying to reuse them. I expect the compound will be cracked (since they are pushed out with a pin so all the force concentrated in one spot), which the...

    zimmer liked post by Tankd On thread : Ar2213sc load data for 2213
    The difference between 2213 and 2213SC are minor ,one is slightly slower than the other. 2213 is slightly faster than 2213SC .Just start a grain or two lower for a start load and you will be alright

    That's what I am thinking. Could you wrap a bit of rag around something and put in a drill with some autosol or similar on it to polish that corner in the die ?
