    .308 Bullet seating issues - Please help!

    They're once fired, this is their first trip through the resizing die. I'll measure the mandrel when I sober up and make my way down to the garage in the morning. Graduate school, it'll make you drink.

    .308 Bullet seating issues - Please help!

    I'm using Lee FL resizing dies at the moment, as this is for semi auto. I thought the collet dies were only for neck sizing. Yeah, the I.D. on my cases is at about. 307.

    .308 Bullet seating issues - Please help!

    So I sat down to load some .308 before I go shooting this week. Everything went fine until I noticed that I could push the bullets into the cases with my thumb. This was using: CAVIM cases (Venezuelan surplus) Winchester 147gr. FMJBTs LEE reloading gear (FL sizer and seater) I then...

    35 mm one piece scope mounts

    Hey all, I am looking to purchase a one piece 35mm picatinny compatible scope mount to attach my Millett LRS-1 to my flattop AR-10. I've seen the JP Enterprises model, but have come up with nothing else. Any suggestions?

    Removing case lube from completed cartridges

    For once, my instincts were correct. Those of you who use a vibratory tumbler: it's okay to do this even with uncrimped ammo?

    KSG on gunbroker

    The auction mentions a serial number, and says it will only be provided to winning bidder. Would a preorder have one of those?

    KSG on gunbroker

    Just saw a KSG for sale on gunbroker. The seller has good feedback and based on the wording of the auction, I suspect it is legit. Bad news? Current bid is $1400. :what: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=237564016

    Do you clean your primer pockets?

    I deburr and chamfer and uniform pockets on an RCBS case prep center, so it's not that much more effort to move one station over and use the wire brush. The amount of gorp that collects at the base of the brush and uniformer stations in the course of a 400 round batch is incredible.

    Why do you reload?

    I enjoy reloading in and of itself, but there is a cost savings (however slight) and performance increase when you reload. Moreover, if you think of your firearm as a part of system, the other major component is the ammunition. Maybe it's a little too new-age hippy-Jedi idea, but I feel like...

    Removing case lube from completed cartridges

    Hey all, I recently tried out Dillon Case Lube on a batch of .308 and .223 cartridges for use in the appropriate ARs. Previously, I've used Hornady One Shot (switched because of the expense and inconsistent results I got with it), but never bothered to wipe or otherwise attempt to remove the...

    Red Jacket Firearms.. Not too inviting

    I dealt with Red Jacket before the Sons of Guns. My Saiga-12 wasn't cycling properly thanks to some Ivan special partially obscured gas ports. Will was great about fixing it right up, at no charge. Getting it home was different deal entirely, because FEDEX sent my assault shotgun to the wrong...

    .223 Seating problem

    I agree with rcmodel. I had similar issues with Hornady flat base projectiles. Be a little more aggressive with your chamfer/deburr tool and hold the bullet in line with the case mouth until both enter the body of the die.

    Regarding Lower Receivers

    I don't know of a standard AR-15 receiver that will NOT accept the AA .50 BEO magazines. That's the big deal about .50 BEO, all you have to do is pull takedown pins, swap uppers and magazines, and your 5.56mm assault rifle is now a large-bore rifle suitable for hunting good size game or engine...

    Whats the deal with this .308?

    Not sure if it means anything to OP, but I would point out that DAG is Berdan primed and therefore not reloadable. I can't tell you have many times my hand has hovered over the add to cart button for that stuff, as it is good ammo, but then moved on to something else because I couldn't reload...

    XD Owners: Which trigger kit do you suggest?

    The takeup and reset are my major concerns. I am looking to get into doing IPSC after being invited to join a group of IPSC guys who were practicing at the range the other day. My performance was, in a word that will not earn me an infraction, poor, but it was so much fun that I caught the bug...

    Worrisome signs on spent brass?

    I checked the powder charges, they were as expected. The cases in question were all once fired, deprimed, tumbled, lubed, full length resized, trimmed, chamfered and deburred, blown clean of debris with compressed air, primed with a Lee Autoprime, charged with powder that was weighed on an RCBS...

    XD Owners: Which trigger kit do you suggest?

    I am looking to do a trigger job on my XD45 Tactical. My pistol does not have the thumb safety.

    My First M14/M1A

    Beautiful rifle. I love my ARs, but I admit they are ugly as sin and will never compete with M14s/M1As/Garands for style points.

    Worrisome signs on spent brass?

    Well guys, I made the mistake of leaving the brass on my kitchen table. It was designated as clutter by my girlfriend and disposed of, so no more pictures. I went shooting again yesterday, with reduced loads of 41.5 and 41.0 gr. of Varget behind the same 168gr. AMAX out of the same rifle...

    Worrisome signs on spent brass?

    It ate the Prvi Partizan that those spent cases are from without a problem. Ate Radway Green and DAG German surplus fine, Remington UMC and Hornady TAP-FPD fine. Only ammo it has been troublesome with was some Venezuelan military surplus. It FTE'd almost every round, but I think that was due to...
