    Small score mark on fired 223 case, resizing issue??

    Fired some ar223 brass rounds. Upon inspection of empties, I see a small horizontal score mark/indentation on the side of the main body of the brass case. It is quite slight, but defenitely noticeable. I run my finger over it and can feel the indentation. W/o posting a pick, any thoughts on...

    Hornady bullet comparator insert for .355

    Anyone care to share what their OAL is with RMR's new 124 gr FMJ? I run the 124 gr 9mm Match round nose at 1.150 oal, and they shot great, but this new 124gr FMJ has a different profile. Hornady doesn't make a comparator insert for .355 best I can tell. I would love to compare length at ogive...

    Speer 243 90gr deepcurl experiences??

    Anyone willing to share load info/accuracy experiences with these bullets? I see Speer has a load data chart out just for the deepcurl. Is this where others started with load development, or did some go off script and select other powders not on the Speer publication??

    Anyone ever deal with Atlanta Arms for brass?

    product description seems a bit thin on website, unless I'm just missing it somewhere. I can't seem to find info for their processed 223 brass trim length and primer pocket type. Anyone here use them? Any thoughts or info on them? Would you recommend? Thanks Bantam

    Published OAL values??

    Little help??? Are published OAL values off the ogive or base to tip? Can't believe it's base to tip, as many tips are buggered up and will give various readings? I see oal can be stated as either value though, when I've tried to dig into this deeper. Kinda confused on this... I gotta...

    Why such a hard time resizing .308 necks??

    Bought some primed LC .308win cases from pulled downs. Trying to just use Lyman deluxe carbide button neck size die on the necks, and first two cases resulted in smashed down necks. Went nice and slow, even imperial lubed carbide button, and inside of brass necks. I wanted to avoid full...

    Picked up some rifle cases where bullets were pulled. These cases are still primed. I have chambered a fair number of these cases and they chamber/extract smooth as silk. When going to load these up, is there anything special to it? Or can you just powder, and seat new bullet to my specs...
