    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    Great point. Squeaky clean brass needs lube. Cartridge brass is 70% copper and 30% zinc.

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I dont like bipods & resting it on bag, even worse. But that just me.

    185 gr wadcutter with unique

    Unique from most measures, vari by 2/10 grs. But range brass is the worst. Bullet pull can be any where from 45 lbs to over 100 pounds to move the bullet.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    Most times- Fire, wipe with rag or roll in a towel, load. Pistol brass. My 1970s RCBS 357 carbide die started galling last year. Lots of wear. Lube did stop the galling on the very old die. Contacted RCBS, new die was sent. No using lube for me.

    Nickel plated brass question

    Old nickel 357 Remington brass is harder to eject from S&W M28 , when compared to same in brass. Less spring back of the nickel case. Both cases reloaded many times. Load 163 lswc, Alliant 2400 @ 13.0 grs, mag primers. NOTE: WSPM have shown to increase pressure over other primer brands.

    Pre nato stamp LC 5.56 brass

    I dont like brass that has been sitting around in buckets, of unknow origin. I learned in the1970 not to buy once fired brass. Ordered some 44 mag brass out of Shotgun News. It was once fired for sure. Proof Loads.

    Vibrating Primer Tube fFllers?

    Makes me think of primer compound dust. Federal primers have nitroglycerin. Clean tubes now and then for safety, even if not vibrating.

    Measuring Primer Seating Depth

    SAAMI set standards and is correct saying, flush to .008" below the case head. *When seated to bottom of the pocket.* I have seen shallow 38 spec brass pockets, where the primer is above the case head. The defect was corrected by uniforming the depth of the pocket. Primers can be mashed in...

    Forcing cone erosion?

    Forcing cone reamer kit Brownells instructions. The .020" is bullet clearance, not thickness. Yes, barrels do crack. Had a early model Colt 357 mag Trooper, crack. A maximum load with 125 gr jacketed bullet cracked the forcing cone. 1970s Colts have very soft metal & parts are surface...

    Forcing cone erosion?

    Looks ok. There is a lot of thickness left. A forcing cone is .020" larger then bullet diameter. I have seen a S&W M29 44 mag with almost a knives edge on the barrel face. Was still accurate. My 29 barrel was set back and recut, still looks bad, but shoots ok.
