    204 Ruger bullets

    I use CFE223 and 8208XBR in 2 loads for 2 different rifles. I have lots of both of those, but not much Benchmark. I have also not tried Benchmark yet in .204 Ruger, yet...

    204 Ruger bullets

    I use the Hornady 32gr V-Max almost exclusively. I picked up 1k when I started loading .204 Ruger for a buddy. They shot so well, I bought 4k more and a Shilen .204 Ruger barrel for myself. I load them in .204 Ruger and .20 Practical now. I have a smattering of other bullets I have picked up...

    Hornady FMJBT 150 gr in M1A

    I load that same bullet with that same powder for that same rifle. :) To clarify, I load 42 grains of IMR 4895 under the Hornady 150gr FMJBT in LC cases using S&B LR primers. This is just a blasting load that shot well on paper for me. Make sure you know whether the data you are using...

    I got primers!

    Glad to hear you got your primer order! But given the choice between: 1)having time but no components or 2)having components but no time, I'll take #2. :) These days, components are sometimes as scarce as spare time.

    Caliber specific powder funnel?

    I have Saturn funnels in .223 and .30 cal. I prefer them when doing non-progressive powder work. No problems with spilled powder here.

    Imr 4350

    Not trying to sound blunt, but save the 4350 for your '06 and find/pick something faster for your Mini14.

    CFE 223 for 7.62x54R?

    If you decide to go for it, I'd consider a chrono a must for this type of situation. At the very least, it will let you know exactly where you stand (velocity-wise) compared to established load data for this caliber.

    Someone please explain to me why!

    A 180gr bullet is lighter than a 240gr bullet. A 180gr bullet is also shorter than a 240gr bullet. A 180gr bullet seated in a case to the same OAL as a 240gr bullet = more space in the case. More space in the case = lower pressure for same powder charge. To get higher pressure and velocity...

    Brand New Redding Carbide Dies Shaving My 40 Cases Badly!

    Wow... nope, never experienced this. I'd be interested to know what the carbide ring measures. Can you take a caliper measurement?

    Rock Chucker Supreme Primer Catcher

    Same issues here I had the same problems as you. I did two things: 1st, cut a piece of straw to fit in the opening in the front of the ram. Since I don't prime on the press, the front opening serves no purpose to me. 646932[/ATTACH]"] 646934[/ATTACH]"] This kept the primers from coming out...

    RCBS 10-10 vs 505

    I too prefer the drum poise of the 10-10 and 5-10 scales. Both are a high quality balance and you can't go wrong with either one.

    How do you remove primer crimps on mil brass?

    Pictures won't help in determining if you have swaged the primer pocket correctly. The easiest way is to try seating a primer. If you haven't removed enough of the crimp, you will have difficulty in seating the primer. If you have over-swaged, the primer will seat with too little resistance...

    Should I neck size this pulldown brass?

    I would be very nervous about shooting ammunition knowing there was only .001" of neck tension... especially in an autoloader.
