    Neck-sized or full length??

    I don't think I'm understanding the differences in the dies you guys are talking about. When I neck-size only, the bullet seats pretty firm, I can't pull it out or push it in without a pair of pliers, so it's in there pretty good. I thought that the whole good thing about fire-formed cases was...

    OK, gimmie the scoop!

    I keep hearing about the stoney point bullet comparator or whatnot....seems like a good piece of gear to have....whats it do and why is it so important? Right now, I just prep my cases, measure every charge and mic the OAL, so far, gottem some great results, so what am I missing without this...

    I have to start somewhere

    I was in your shoes (and I still am really) I got the Lee Aniversary kit from midway, with the Lee manual, I think it was a whopping 72.00, Then I added a set of dies for .223 and .45acp, grand total shipped came to I think 140.00, my kit came, I built a bench in my basement, headed to the...

    Neck-sized or full length??

    I am using lee delux rifle dies with a dedicated neck sizing-collet die. I mic the cases and the collet die is sizing them from what I can tell. I started playing with COAL, at first, went off of COAL of the best factory ammo my rifle shot, and made loads to match the factory. Some of this...

    Neck-sized or full length??

    Ok, pretty new to handloading, and been working on loads for my rem 700 vls in .223 Even my worst load shoots under 1 in at 100. The rifle likes anything under 55gr (1 in 12 twist) My problem is....when I full-length size my brass, they outshoot the fire-formed neck sized ones. Is this...

    COL?

    I haven't heard of any negatives on moly over copper....hear that it keeps fouling down and less cleaning between shots for a long day at the range. I read from a few well documented varmint hunters that prefer it, but it's all an opinion to me I guess, I'll have to get some more experience...

    COL?

    Greetings, new to reloading, but pleasantly suprised that my hand-loads are producing better groups than my favorite factory ammo. My question is...how do you tell if the bulet is up against the rifling when the bolt is closed, or is it better to have it backed off a bit. My first few...

    Whats the difference??

    OK, fairly new to reloading, but is there a big difference in .223 vs .224 and .451 vs .452? Any damage, pros or cons, or is it a personal peference?
