I asked the same question not long ago and the answers I got varied anywhere from all season to years. Didn't have one report of a misfire from leaving the charge in the barrel.

Looks to me like Remington is trying out a new manufacturing method. Doesn't appear to have any what I'll call "finish machining" on the bolt face. It's about the worst example of a bolt face I've ever seen for that matter. If it were mine I'd definitely send it back!

You're making the perfect example of a mis-conception that a softer material, in this case brass, can not dent or deform a harder material, in this case steel. The amount the steel will deform is much smaller than the brass but with a healthy hit it will occur. Most notably it'll occur along...

Water-man...... searched the Hornady site and the number you give doesn't come up for some reason. Have any more info?

Agree with all the rest. Some slight fitting may be required but I've always been pleased with the improvement over plastic stocks. I've learned to like the thumbhole models myself but they make other models of course.

Benchmark has worked excellently for me, especially in my 60gr - 65gr loadings. Don't know it it'll work the same in other loadings but I'd bet it would. hostjunkies.... 4198 was a very accurate powder for me in 223... just never gave me quite the same velocity as others.

as an add.... when you full length size the harder the neck is the more it'll spring back - smaller. Lee's collet die in function is the opposite, harder brass will spring back more making the neck size larger than softer brass. You didn't state specifics as to the number of firings of the...

6 of one half dozen of another......... B&C is generally heavier..... you really need to see if you can lay hands on both if you can and see your preference. Everyone "fits" different, it's personal don't ya know!

Works fine for me with standard primers, it's just not that good of a "magnum" powder as say 296 or 2400 IMO..... the loadings from Accurate have worked fine for me and accuracy is decent.

well if always is since 1968 anyways!

I've converted one side of my bench grinder for a polishing wheel but have run into something I didn't expect so am asking. I'm new to polishing sp have a lot to learn. Problem I'm having is the "wheel" a open, unsewn sisal throws off a LOT of threads even just applying the green polishing...

Given the situation I read you're trying to pose, the first question I would ask "myself" is whether I wish to run the people off or do what I could for as long as it was peaceably possible to help people. Just a basic question I'd be asking myself as the situation presents one of "the law" not...

748 always worked very well for me with 50-55 grain bullets!

Personally if you're using new brass or brass that's annealed I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt you'll have any problem but should you I think the best crimp you can use is the Lee factory crimp. A very light crimp goes a long way and it doesn't distort the case unless misused.
