Remington 700 in 7MM Mag., 150 gr. Nosler ballistic tip, primarily Big Game. My main concern is over pressure, I can play around a little bit to work on the accuracy, just didn't want to do something wrong right off the bat.

A couple of weeks ago I posted about Head space and OAL of cartridge. Quite a few of you straightened me out. When I asked about the OAL of cartridge for a particular gun and how to measure it, I received several answers. The one in particular was to load an extra length round with the bullet...

Thanks Reloadron that info. is exactly what I was looking for!

This was excellent, exactly along the lines which I was thinking. I actually tried method #1 today and didn't get any result, but now I think I'll have to lengthen the bullet and try this again. Great you were very helpful!

Doesn't the overall length determine headspace? I thought headspace was the distance the projectile had to travel before it contacted the lands in th chamber or barrel?

Is this gospel or does this depend on the head spacing of your particular rifle? There are so many different shaped bullets that I wonder how there can be a set OAL? What is the easiest way to measure headspace?

Thanks everyone for your input, I'll pass that on to my buddy, I think he's stealing this thing @ $250. I already told him to buy it anyway, can't get hurt!

My buddy is interested in a compensated Glock, however he has heard that they have discontinued them and wondered why? I have read that they are not discontinued, but only in limited production from time to time. Can anyone give me any more details about these pistols, and are there any issues...

Neck sizing vs. full length sizing Thanks for your responses, very mixed opinions, thanks to all!

Comments about accuracy of each, and what gear do you use to only size the case mouth?

Am I correct in assuming that a lighter bullet with the same powder would be less pressure?

.308 reloading Thank you everyone for your input! Most of the brass were LC which I presume is Lake City, however there were a few odd balls in there as well!

I have several questions, I'll try to separate them as to not confuse everyone!! 1-I reloaded 100 Military cases using data from Nosler book #6. #200 CCI primers with 44 Grs. of IMR 4064 and Hornady 150 gr. polymer tip boatail big game bullets. These were set to an OAL of 2.758 instead of...

I use walnut shells and also have that problem, just check each one before I prime them!

I use new finish exactly as hardtarget discribed, 1 capful every 3rd or 4th time, mix it with a stick and run, with some patience the brass looks like brand new. Occasionally you do get some clumping, but it disappears on it's own as you run it!
