    Most Consistent Primers

    Thank you all for the replies. That’s what I was thinking - that it probably wouldn’t matter enough to mess with in a hunting rifle.

    Most Consistent Primers

    What primers have you all found to be most consistent, specifically large rifle size? Related, does changing the primer change the point of impact? I reload for 30-06, mainly for hunting purposes. Is it worth trying different primers to try to tighten my groups little? Generally, I've been...

    Winchester Model 42 - Small Hairline Crack in Stock

    I just acquired a Winchester Model 42. It's in good shape, except that I noticed a small hairline crack in the stock where it meets the receiver. It is barely detectable, but I don't want it to get any bigger. Any suggestions on how to repair that? Thank you.

    Mossberg 835 Jamming

    Hello, I have a Mossberg 835 that has been jamming. If there is more than one shell in the magazine, the mechanism that is supposed to only dispense one shell from the magazine malfunctions, and allows the second shell to enter the chamber. This causes the gun to jam, and I am unable to...

    Remington Mode 25 Parts

    I have a Remington Model 25, chambered in 25-20. I’m looking for the piece that wedges under he rear sight to adjust for windage, and am having trouble finding it. Do any of you have any suggestions to figure out exactly what part I need, and where to order it? Thanks!

    Neck Collett vs Full Length Resizing

    I will use my rounds for hunting, so I use the factory crimp die to keep the bullet properly seated if it gets bumped in the field.

    Neck Collett vs Full Length Resizing

    I have the Lee Factor Crimp Die, and am currently using it. I was planning on continuing to use it with the collett die.

    Neck Collett vs Full Length Resizing

    I just purchased a Lee Neck Collett die for my bolt action 30/06. Other than brass longevity, are there any other advantages (or disadvantages) to using the neck collett die instead of the full length resizing die?

    Not to hijack the thread, but what is the paper clip test?

    New brass vs. fired

    That's what I was thinking, too; that buying new brass would have little to no effect. Thanks for the replies.
  13. Q

    New brass vs. fired

    Is there a noticeable difference in accuracy when using brand new brass, compared to once or twice fired brass? Specifically, I'm looking at Nosler Custom Rifle brass, and the fired brass would be fired out of my gun. I'm looking for accuracy out to 300 yards or so for hunting purposes, not...

    Hot Barrel

    When working up a rifle load, how long do you want between shots to ensure that a hot barrel isn't causing accuracy issues?

    OAL Variance

    I know I’ll have to work up a new load for hunting. I just wanted to ask some more experienced reloaders whether some OAL variance is okay when you’re not match shooting or shooting at extreme long ranges.
  16. Q

    OAL Variance

    Right. This particlar load isn’t for hunting, but that’s the end goal. My point was that I’m not match shooting, and that I only care about enough accuracy to put a shot in the vitals at 3-400 yards.

    OAL Variance

    At risk of hijacking my own thread, how do you accurately measure ogive?

  19. Q

    OAL Variance

    I would call myself a beginner reloader/handloader. I am not a match shooter, and I don't plan to shoot beyond 300 yards (maybe 400, tops), but am trying to work up a hunting round up to that range. I'm getting about +/- .005 inches on my OAL when reloading for my 30-06. Is that an acceptable...

    Lid left off powder

    Thanks all! I figured it'd be alright, but I feel much better after the responses.
