308 recoil When I was 19 and skinny, I shot a British 303 from prone and it HURT I fired my twenty and walked away thankful Now, 40 years later, I have two of em and I fire sitting position and I am 200 lbs - it's easy as long as I rotate my thumb to the right ! I think prone...

Like alot of guys I eventually read the instructions when I get really stuck - yes I emailed them yesterday and said there are a lot of people reporting stiffness in both the bolt action and the mag feed. I will see what they say. I really like the rifle itself but even the appearance of the...

I have had a CZ 22 LR for 2 years and love it - so bought a CZ 527 in 223/5.56 the Matt barrel is tough looking but not my fav - however what has me ready to throw it in the Columbia is the stiff cartridge feed ! I bought a spare mag and used wet and dry sandpaper inside the mag - no use...

A rifle behind every blade of grass doesn't mean much to a nuclear opponent. Israel with it's 7 million population and nuclear arsenal would quite willingly attack Iran with nuclear weapons whether every Iranian had an AR-15 or not. The rifle behind every blade of grass is valid for the 1930's...

View from the fence I am a Citizen of the USA and a Citizen of Britain and I was an officer of a gun club in England and I am a member of a gun club in the USA. I got my first British Firearms Certificate in 1964 and I served as a Police Officer in the England for 6 years. That should...

Noted ! I have the 22 LR CZ and I love it so I have ordered the 527 and it arrives next Monday ! Bought it at Buds for a super price.

I specifically asked Midway customer services about the riser this morning and they said it was only for progressives and I would not need it on a 4 die classic There are so many configurations possible that I think they have lost track themselves My fault for being tight as the riser is a...

wow that's a great post - I will copy that to my manual folder Don't worry about condescending coz I have never turned away advice - I drink it all up and nod politely through the bits I do know. It's the only way to do it... Information is the currency of power as it said on my calender I...

I know that getting the right and consistent seating will affect accuracy, but providing I have reasonably secure seating, (this test bullet is seated very strongly and I cant wobble it) I guess safety/gun damage will not be affected if it is sat a little deep ? I get the feeling I am only...

ok so I will leave the collet die out and use only the full length die... That will leave me with FL/auto powder/bullet seat and finally crimp - all 4 in one turret most of my brass will be from my rifles but I will have AR-15 and a CZ bolt action 223's and some cases from the range so it...

yes it's like painting or replacing roof shingles - it's all prep... Looks like a lot of lot of preventing rifle damage is getting all the case dimensions right and having it clean with no swarf just seated a test bullet with no powder /primer in... I compared to a commercial unfired...

ok looks good - I already had the chamfer tool and the primer pocket cleaner I have a vari speed drill so this looks good.. hopefully I am near the end of the beginning. I suppose a full length sizer just means it sizes the full length of the case 'for width' and cannot adjust the case...

I bought some lee resizing lubricant...it says use it inside the case neck using a cotton swab.. I just called Midway and asked whether the powder fulling die needed a riser to be bought separately to actuate the lee pro auto disk measure After a long time and input from the back office ...

Flashhole and Randy P that is great advice too.. The hand charging looks a quick way to do a small batch of my 303 Brit when I get some dies. I will read and learn and no way is the wrong powder or too much powder going in there. I will fill and refill my test case (after cleaning) and...

yes i took the dies apart.. My mother used to say that if I had a pig, I would kill it to see where the squeal came from.. I reckon you have this tube identified and it is the bullet seating die insert I have put it in there with the open end down to accept the bullet tip and yes it...
