thanks everybody...its starting to make sense now. the discussion i was having was in regard to a fellow shooters custom loads he recieved after sending his gun to corbon. in 20 rounds, the majority had flattened primers and a few even blew the primers out. he noticed it when he almost...

I had a discussion with a fellow reloader who told me that the shape of a bullet directly arffects the pressure in a gun. He said that regardless of the seating depth, some bullets crewate more pressure than others. The bullet we were talking about was a barnes ttsx. Can anyone explain this to...

walteray, what kind of velocities are you getting from your 20" barrel? anywhere near 2700? i started my testing yesterday for my 20" .308 using varget. although, i am using a 168 amax, i believe our bullet selections are fairly similiar. i was only recieving 2550 f/s with 98% of max load...

Farmer buck, I did measure the whole box...the average was .3085. That is close enough as far as I'm concerned as I'm sure only a couple threw the average off. Not a big deal, still a good product. Jimmyk, I agree. I am a firm believer in rwading instructions, but if you don't trust your...

Thanks 918 and jimmyk... I believe you helped me solve this...I hope I should've followed my gut on seating die adjustment..I knew better, but I followed the instructions. After talking to chris at redding he told me to disregard the instructions and set the die as I have with all my other...

i was screwing it down until the stem bottomed out against the die...? just talked to redding and they are sending me a new stem with a smaller opening for the tip of the bullet so i get more length on the stem. have you had this problem with this bullet and this die?

if i do it that way, what should i do regarding the seating stem not being able to to seat the bullet deep enough?

I rechecked the die... it was run down to the shellholder and backed off a full turn. That is exactly how the instructions say to do it. I checked that this was correct by running an empty case into the die and it came out fine.

you could be right...but i doubt it. i already tested them on some smk's and they all miked perfectly at .224. that still doesn't explain why when seating they cause my case to buckle and collapse. the expander ball measures .307 but after sizing the case neck only measures .304-.305...

Maybe a dumb question...but should I anneal all new match brass before sizing?

i screwed the die down to the shell holder and backed it off a quarter turn. yes, i have the plunger in the die and it is adjusted correctly. i could be off base but, normally the bullets are the correct diameter and you size the case neck slightly smaller for a snug fit and good neck...

i was seating some 168 gn amax today in some hornady match 308 brass and the bullets would compress and ruin the brass towards the end of the press stroke. i measured the bullets and the measured .310 and the neck of the brass is .305 after full length sizing with my redding dies. i've...

You can fix the ro on some bullets, but not all. Sometimes it makes the problem worse if you're not careful. It takes a bit of practice to effectively use this tool. There are many variables to how well it works like crimp and seating depth. The sinclair tool just measures, no bells and...

roc1 i purchased this tool because i thought it would solve all my problems...wrong. like the guys said it just shows you there is a problem, but not where it is. it is more of a band-aid on a bullet wound. i tested some of my .270 hunting rounds that i loaded some time ago that i had...

thanks jimkirk, my gun is also a 16" dpms "sweet sixteen" with a bull barrel. i will try the workup that you described. if my gun doesn't like the pressure or i can't seem to make it shoot as accurate, i know i have a moderately fast and very good grouping load already.

the tempature at the time of shooting was 55 degrees F. light breeze. shooting prone with a bipod and bag.

i was thoroughly suprised by some results that i obtained today while testing a load. i have been working up a load for my 16" barrel ar-15 using a barnes 50gn varmint grenade and reloader 10. the barnes book calls for max load of 22.2 grains with a velocity of 3202 f/s. my load...

been doing some online research, and i seem to like what i see in the millenium. is there any negative press regarding this chrono?

what would you guys recommend as the best chronograph for the money. i want to get something that is going to last. also, want one that has a remote keypad/readout that i can put on my shooting bench so i can see results after each shot. your input is appreciated.
