    Rejected Rifles

    I have a Sako 75 7mag with a nice leupold on top, I was getting 3 inch groups with it. It wasnt good. A friend grabed it and put down a few sub inch groups. I was humbled, but I got better groups later knowing i was the problem.

    204 bullet setback ar

    I have about 80 rounds loaded, I going to figure out the setback pressure on all of them and log it. Then i'm going to pull all of them and weight the powder and bullets. I'm going to pick up another ar 204 upper Saturday, and I plan on keeping this one a long time. Up until then my biggest...

    Carbide or steel dies?

    No. I thought about that but, the case is properly sized, and I am used to lubing rifle calibers anyway. I just figured the large surface area and thick brass was more than the carbide could handle alone.

    204 bullet setback ar

    I could never prove that setback was the issue, unless I could get a few donated ar 204's as test beds. I'll return them when finished:). I proved that my combination will setback a bullet when cycled through another 204. I just filled a case with Bechmark until the bullet would touch the...

    204 bullet setback ar

    I was not using any crimp, but I think I should have. I use the lee factory crimp die in my 223 ar loads, and will now in 204. I The pmags follower broke, and the mag release too. No injuries, just expensive lessons. It looks like I have .127 bulet contacts in the case, not all that much. The...

    Carbide or steel dies?

    Carbide pistol dies work great except for my S&W 500, you will stick a case without lube.

    204 bullet setback ar

    Rc Model, That may be true. I started with that 32 grain data for the 30grainers thinking I was pretty safe. I could not find much data for the 30 gr bergers I wanted to use. The primers and the chrono showed no signs, with only 3600 fps, but that doesn't mean my pressures wern't up there...

    204 bullet setback ar

    Thanks counterclockwise, I will have to do some measuring and testing, but setback makes complete sense to me. There is so little bearing surface on these bullets when oal is 2.24 or 2.25. I am going back to the boat tail 32's and up because they are way easier to seat, and are longer.

    Mythbusters and molten lead

    I used to do this when I was younger working for Boeing. We wave soldered circuit boards, so there was plenty of molten solder lying around in pots. I never tryed with wet hands, but the solder didn't stick to your hand dry either. My boss was less than amused.

    204 bullet setback ar

    My first thought was that I fired into a sqib, but the round before it was in a fresh target and was just about where I wanted it. After the kb I loaded about 20 rounds into another 204 and racked them through the action as fast as I could, and 1 of thos did set full back into the case. My guess...

    204 bullet setback ar

    I destroyed my dpms 204 upper. I loaded some 30 gr bergers on top of 28gr of Benchmark.I shot 20 or so rounds, with good groups. Brass looked good, crono was 3650 or so. The load was soft shooting and then boom. My only idea is that a bullet set completly back into the case. Any thoughts or...
