The R. W. Hart tool works, and works well. Several year ago I purchased some brand new Norma 303 Savage brass, and the primer pockets were lose. Instead of tossing brand new brass costing $1 each, I purchased one of those primer pocket tools and was able to fix it all. But I see it often...

May people seem to have this thing about velocity and BHN. It's pressure that's the key, not velocity. Proper fit, of course, is most important, but following closely is the pressure.

I have done that with my M44 carbine, but have heard others who say their accuracy is better with larger (.311) bullets. Can't hurt to try, however, as some, including mine, shoot just fine with .308 bullets.

What are you shooting those out of?

I, too, have a problem with Lee dies. They're just too inexpensive to impress anyone with my wealth and expensive toys. I have the same problem with my watch - it isn't a Rolex. I get no respect.

I'm thinking just put it all it a bag and tell the grandkids not to break anything. Should be usable for media in a day or so.

130 grains bullet and 54 grains of IMR-7828 is the most accurate load out of my Savage.

I've had a 20 gauge NEF single shot for years. Last year I picked up a barely used 12 gauge to go with it. As far as I'm concerned, they are great little guns!

In my opinion, Eb1 nailed it: "Like get the best accuracy you can while obtaining a velocity that will be best for the bullet choice along with reliability." There's a window of velocity for any given bullet where the expansion works best. Inside that window is where you need to find the...

This is what is known as getting a leg up on the competition.

As others have said in not so many words, that problem will certainly cure itself, one way or another.

No you're not. All you're going to do is see which are heavier and which are lighter, and you don't care about the actual weight, right? So stick a piece of chewing gum on the beam until you can adjust the ball and slider for the brass. Then you'll know which are heaviest and which are lightest.

Poppycock. When the bullet starts forward, the gun starts backward. There is no special rule of force that says the gun doesn't start backwards until the bullet leaves the barrel.

I'm pretty sure that recoil begins as soon as the bullet begins to move, not when the bullet leaves the barrel. "For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction" doesn't have anything to do with the "location" of the objects. Once the bullet begins to move, so does the firearm.

My yardstick shows this at .974 and my little LCP eats 'em up just fine. 3.5 gr of Unique. Someone on another thread said something like "I could live with only Unique on my bench" and I believe he was right. I think I could, too. He is obviously a very smart man, since I agree with him...

Are you talking about this assembly? If so, how in blazes did that happen? Did you tighten it up before you started using it?

He does indeed say powder burn rate charts are useless. He then goes on to prove ... nothing. The numbers don't agree with ... what? Each other? I haven't seen two burn charts with the same powders, let alone created by the same person/people/companies. Of course they don't agree with each...

psyshack - That was the most interesting post I've read in quite awhile. Thank you for sharing that!

confederatemule - this is my 12 gauge reloading kit. Not shown are 8 and 6 point crimpers and one vintage roll crimper. http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=7333086&postcount=3

Put a finishing nail in the end of a dowel and call it a day. Better yet, call it a decapper!
