I'm just starting to shoot trap and am looking for some 7 1/2 or preferably #8 shot locally. If things go right with the larger shot then I'll know that shot size is the problem. Thanks. John

Thanks for the thoughtful ideas. My bar is the new style and the brass washer is also new. Will loosen the bottles and try that.

I have a MEC 762 r reloader that the charge bar hangs sometimes. I have been embarrassed enough on the skeet field with bloopers that I check each hull after the powder drop stage to be sure there is powder in the hull. I can find no burrs or any reason for the hangup, and when it hangs a...

I'm shooting the rounds in a Savage FV12 Rifle used to varmit hunt. I did not think of resizing to be sure, Jim, my friend, was a varmit hunter also, just gotten to old to go anymore. Thanks for the advice guys, as always good advice from you all.

A friend gave me a dozen pcs. of 223 brass with magnum primers installed. He said he was going to try them then never got around to it. Should I go ahead and load them or decap and start over?

My nail just barely catches. I cleaned my sizing die per instructions yesterday, and lo and behold, no more scratches! I also sprayed my lube slightly heavyer and that helped also, no dents, and the sizing required less effort. I want to thank everyone for your help, it is amazing what you...

Thanks guys, I'll get to it this AM. One question, if the cause of the scratches is lack of lube can anyone tell me the proper way to use the Hornady spray lube. I have put to much lube on and dented the shoulder on the brass. Now I just give the brass a light spray on one side, rotate the tray...

I had resized about 100 223 pieces of brass when I noticed scratches on the body of the brass. I can feel them with my fingernail but they don't appear too deep. I cleaned my die, but it still scratches the brass. Can I still load the brass and should I send the die to RCBS to be polished...

Rebates For what it is worth I make a copy of everything before sending in for rebates. I believe the companies sometimes "lose" paperwork to avoid paying the rebate. Software rebates are the worst for this, and I promise them I won't buy their software again and will badmouth them to my...

Peening 918v mentions peening a barrel, what exactly is peening and what causes it? Thanks, John

COL Hentown, I bought and used a Hornady OAL gauge, set the bullet against the lands then backed off .020 per Honady instructions. Is there some better more accurate way to do this? Gamestalker, the brass is in perfect condition except for the cracks, the bolt functions fine. ArchAngelcd...

Remmington I read you loud and clear J1

Update First, thanks to all for the replies. Everyone was helpful. I called Winchester and talked to one guy who said what you guys said but thought I should speak to their expert. I had to leave a voice mail and asked for a return contact either by phone or email. It has been nearly two weeks...

I hope someone can help a newbee. I own a Savage 223 rifle that is a tack driver, and have only been reloading about a year. I bought new Winchester Brass and Hornady 50 grain VMax bullets and BLC (2) powder. I loaded three test loads according to the Speer manual. The max load of 27.5 grains...
