    optional reloading stuff you wished you didn't get and stuff that made you happy

    Reddyeddy:I wish I didn't get ... the powder measure. These were just mistakes on my part. Didn't know/realize that ... there's no real way to use a powder measure with a hand press. If you batch load your powder into cases using the loading block you can fill cases quickly and then check...

    Bump setting questions

    Hornady Dentite, I have only one Hornady die set but that ring is great. I also long ago replaced some but not all RCBS and Redding lock rings with Lee. Don't laugh; if used carefully they are useful but yes, they can slip. I have some unused extra Forster ones I may employ until I can...

    Bump setting questions

    I read Gamestalker's answer too quickly and misinterpreted his response. My brass does close on the bolt but it has not been sized in any capacity and I thought he meant I did not have to size. I'll reset (check my FL die) and size all of the brass. Then I'll check trim to length (again as...

    Bump setting questions

    Thank you, both. The wood slat worked just fine. All of the 30 pieces fit the chamber except 3 (which really did close but were a tiny bit tight so I resized them). If I do not need to size the 27 pieces, don't I need to neck size these as I usually do after firing?

    Bump setting questions

    Probably the dummest questions ever asked, but what can I say? 1. Have full length die set per instructions from 14 years ago. It is a Redding die which came with a lead shot to lock the lock ring in place. I want to attempt just a bump set back but I can't move the lock ring/die. How does...

    browning buckmark extraction problem

    schematic Jackal: I have that schematic in my owner's manual. Not being the brightest mechanical booger in the group, I thought I ask the experienced members, how one actually takes out the spring/plunger/extractor and how to reinstall in case there are tricks I should know. Any ideas or do...

    browning buckmark extraction problem

    Hello. bronsht here; new member. Could any of you help me? Have a buckmark target pistol. Haven't used it in a while. It is not extracting spent brass. I oiled it up, but it didn't help. Did a standard take down and cleaning, then oiled it up. Still does not work. Do I need to replace...
