Been playing with the 222Mag. again and wanted to try some 75gr Amax in it. Barrel is a Criterion 1/9 twist, so I know its a hit or miss thing already, just had a couple boxes of the 75's laying here and wanted to play. Looked around the web with no listed loads for the 223 or 222mag with the...

After reading some concentricity issues on reloading, made me wonder why the original developers chose the "Standard" thread pitch used for presses and dies. After running scenarios through my head, I figured the thread pitch was chose due to speed vs concentricity, what people would live with...

Started loading a few 22 hornets and found that several + of the cases are bulging on one side of the neck where the bullet is seated. Im using brand new WW brass, FL sized. Have read that some older rifles may have a bore dia. of .223 or less, haven't did a cast to see what mine is, the rifle...

Just built a new 222mag and my primers are backing out about 8/10k. Using new R&P brass CCI SR primers. Head Clearance was checked with both GO, and NO_GO gauges, and in spec. Since its new brass, and I neck sized only, the setting of a size die is out of the scenario. I think the new brass is...

Has anyone ever attempted bending a bolt handle that is brazed on? Reason being, I built a rifle using a Remington 722 action which has a 90 degree bolt handle, and I wanted to use a 700 stock with a BDL hinged floor plate. Really did not want to grind on the new stock, and it has a large gap at...

Have searched here, as well as webtrail, but yet to find details about forming 222mag. brass from ruger 204.. Understand that the parent case of the 204 was indeed a 222mag. case, but would like to know some tips on resizing. Would it be best to use an M2 die 1st to open up the neck to .224...

Looking for someone who has taken a Remington 722 action and seated it in a 700 BDLstock, such as from Boyd's etc. I know I can use the original trigger & take out wood to make the stock safety work, but wanted to get around that as well as possibly upgrading trigger..Have read that the remmy...

Going through my old project stuff ive collected over eons, I found an older looking Douglas barrel. Seems I remember cosmo-ing it and storing it a hundred years ago, but no clue about the markings on chamber face. I know the barrel had never been shot, as I had to get the shank thread finished...

Have been reading many many articles on this subject and have a few questions of my own... Have read that the terminology for the phrase "Head Space" is the actual clearances in relation to the chamber and the case, and that "Head Clearance" is clearances in relation to the bolt face, case...

A sad day for me as i sit and ponder the infamous old question,"What cal. should my next purchase be". Was thinking of a 270 perhaps, Never owned one.Thought it could be my longer range deer hunter. After looking at many ballistic charts, forums of hand loaders etc. I have sadly came to the...

Thinking of ordering a bench type finish reamer for my 6.5x55 from PTG and re-reaming my Original military stepped barrel, to do away with all that freebore. Those 130gr berger VLD's barely hang in the cases, lol,,My concerns are: How many threads on the barrel shank do you feel are required to...

Anyone have any load data for the 222magnum using Alliant RL7 powder.. Wanted to try some Speer 55gr hollow points.

Have read some previous post on the topic, but still dont fully understand. Just got about 1k pieces of 7.62x51. Mostly RA 70, with some WRA 68, and TW 69. I deprimed, swaged, and deburred all pieces before sizing. Using the only die i have, a Lyman FL 308, i notice you really have to put out...
