Hello all,
Does anyone know if the Hornady "Custom Grade" ELDx/ELDm seating stems will work in their "Match Grade" seating die? Every stem can find on the web says "custom grade". From my understanding the "match grade" dies are "custom grade" but with the micrometer added? I could be wrong...
Magnetospeed. Lighting was the same, all sunny days with a covered bench at the range. The temps were definitely warmer (15 to 20 degrees) than when I got the "very acceptable" ES numbers, but did take some extra cool down time, even through the gun in the truck with AC running. Interesting...
Yessir, thanks for the Welcome. I supply some more details to the guys. I've collected more gizmos and gadgets over the last year than I ever thought I needed (get into reloading they said, you'll save a bunch of money they said.....ha! but it is fun).
I'm using virgin brass so resizing...
Good morning guys, advice needed, long post.
Having trouble with repeatability in load development. I won’t get to every detail but ran through a test in a Tikka 7mm-08 using varget//win WLR primers//starline brass//140 nosier ballistic tips. Started 3 round groups in 0.5 grain increments and...
@fguffey I'm not sure I follow what your trying to say regarding measuring before and after. My measurements are exactly that, before and after firing. Load is actually the nosler book max. Can you clarify the point you're trying to get across?
I measured a few other rounds of unfired/fired 7mm-08 cases lastnight. They 're also from Copper Creek but were of their "off the shelf" variety so I'm unsure of the powder/charge.

@Allen One1 would you say my chamber is the fired size? I know that sounds like a dumb question but typically a shoulder will be pushed out to fit the chamber after firing..
Copper Creek rounds are not hard to chamber, everything chambers smooth as butter in my opinion. No evidence of...
Morning everyone. I ran into a situation last night that has caused some confusion.
Long story short, how would you set up a sizing die to size a fired case that's shoulder was set back 0.0025" from new after the first firing? My usal go to is 0.001-0.002" shoulder bump using Redding "S" FL...
Fellas,
I'm back and forth on my next varmint rig. I've had great luck with my Tikkas but they don't offer in the USA what I'm looking for in .243/6mmCM (short, handy, heavier barrel). My current thought is to buy a Tikka CTR (20", 1:8" twist) in 6.5CM and have it re barreled to 243/6mmCM...
@MEHavey the QL data appears to be max loads correct? Would a 10%reduction be recommended for starting? Obviously I’d consult various books and manufacturers but as I’ve gotten into the reloading game I’ve learned sometimes to have to piece different information together if the exact combo...
Lots of great opinions here guys. Many thanks. @frankmako has the SW Precision remained temp stable for you? I don’t wish to steer the conversation in the temperature direction. Just curious.
Hola Amigos. I'm nearing the end of a supply of ammunition that Copper Creek loaded for me (140g Nosler BT over 42g Varget/CCI LR primers getting ~2770 to 2800fps, 0.5 to 0.75 MOA). I've since started reloading but cant find Varget ANYWHERE. Does anyone have a bead on where i can find some...
