I picked up a Savage 111 in 9.3x62 and I'm pretty sure I'm the only kid on my block with one. I'm sure the deer will be impressed... :what: At this time ammo & components aren't sold at Walmart so it is pretty much a mail-order and/or reloading-only option. Graf's has what you need. Be aware...

I just got my dies back from RCBS after having roughly .002" polished from the interior - at no cost to me. Now, the body of new brass barely shows any contact with the dies above the web and once-fired brass doesn't look like it has a belt swaged into it. Thank you RCBS.

I think removing the flash around the primer hole inside the case and cutting the primer pocket to a standard depth is of more benefit than the hole diameter. I think I read that a larger primer hole puts too much back thrust/pressure on the primer cup - you don't want the primer to extrude...

Yes, RCBS has offered their services in modifying my sizing die - I've packed 5 new unsized cases and 5 once-fired cases to send to them with the dies. I'll probably send some cases & boolits to LEE to get a collet neck-sizing die made since that's my preferred method - would anybody be...

Now that I've had a chance to actually shoot my new gun, a moderate load expanded the case heads to about 0.476 with a case capacity of 75.6 gr H2O. I got an email from RCBS saying that I could send them 5 samples of fired cases with my dies - to help them make a better product I think I will...

+1 on lighting & small flashlight. I put some small wood molding around the edge of the table to keep round things from rolling off it. There is a soft bristle paint brush to sweep spilled items like powder or shot (not a matter of 'if' but 'when') to a corner of the molding for easier pickup.

I like a LEE collet die, Redding body die & a Forster micrometer die and sometimes that causes duplicates of other parts that I put aside for emergencies.

While the new wads from ClayBusters & DownRange are slightly tapered to get over the 2-piece joint of the new AA hull, I'm not impressed with reloading it like I am with the 'Gun Club' or STS hull. Once my stash of one-piece AA hulls are gone, I'll use the 'Gun Club' hull: 1 oz #8, DR XL-1 or...

From Redding: I was not able to submit the CIP drawing but it sounds like I want Redding dies...

This link is the the dimensions of the chamber reamer from 4-D Products and as you can see it is .4763" above the extractor groove. Definitely would have a bulge in 30-06/35 Whelen brass. If that is RCBS' "final answer" then I'll contact Redding to see what base diameter they consider 'in...

FWIW, the Prvi brass is right about .474" above the extractor groove while several samples of 30-06 is .471" With just the expander ball thru the neck to clean it up, a used primer, an otherwise new case has a water capacity of 74.1 gr so I would expect a fired case to be a bit bigger.

I just received my PRVI brass & RCBS dies today, have experienced the same swaging of the web (doesn't happen to 30-06 brass) and am composing an email to RCBS right now. I even tried raising the die .020" but I'm gonna raise it up higher just so I can clean the necks w/o touching the body of...
