As a newbie to benchrest, please let me ask the following: Why do you try to fill your cases as much as ever possible? Or "Why do you not use a faster powder e.g. N130 for the PPC"?

Jackie, I wanted to chamber the barrel in 30BR but it is not legal in this case. We are only allowed to use "chamberings that are used in police and military applications" e.g. .308Win, .223 Rem .30-06,... Sadly it is just like that. (Tight necks etc. are allowed..) Thank you all very much for...

You are a genius!

After taking a look at the Lapua reloading book and checking the combination in quickload i believe you are right, the pressure is a bit low. Since I do have some N133 available I might try using it for this combination also. Thanks again!

Thank you very much, your help is much appreciated! I shot 40 cases yesterday (with my current "light" load) and all were good after firing. Maybe my 68gr bullets are a little long and therefore I can not get the cases any fuller, but I will try that wire spring in my drop tube. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for all the input! My gunsmith told me that light bullets are not easy to get around here and therefore he recommended a faster twist that can be used with heavier bullets if I should ever run dry. Since I do not shoot thousands of bullets (per rifle) each year this should...

As already said, the resolution is not the best and also it would benefit from a stabilization in the bore. But you can actually see a lot!

Because of decreasing performance of my installed barrel I am interested in getting a new shilen barrel for my custom Rem700 in .308Win. Custom is: trued action, jewell trigger, pillar bedded in McMillan A2 Stock Can you please advice me on a new barrel, especially regarding the twist? I was...

Thanks for all the replies! I checked the cartridge OAL: 2,089" And bullet length: 0,835" As I said I already use a drop tube and a load above 30grs just won't fit. Also I checked the groove of fired and new cases and there was no difference - so I believe this is good. (I did throw the...

Can you please explain the "web"? Sadly my english is not the best. Also I will measure the rims later.

I use a Redding #12 shellholder. When you said that the case should not expand more than 0.0005, what do yo mean with "after the first firing"? Is this after fireforming? I compared my new .220Lapua with (fireformed) cases that have been reloaded 4 times. Also I use a Wilson neck die and a...

I fired 30 cases twice in the last days and I also did insoect the cases carefully. The shiny ring is actually not a problem for me, I checked the new cases and also borescoped fired cases and they seem ok. Regarding my load, I already use a drop tube and the cases are full - no chance of...

I measured them now (maybe 4 firings) and they (all - also the "good" ones) seem to have expanded by 0.001" already. Of course I started with .220 Russian cases.. Regarding the cases that won't easily fit in the shellholder, I believe they all fit in there in the beginning so I believe...

Recently I tried some hotter loads in my Kelbly 6PPC (28.9grs N133 w/ 68grs AlpineBullets FB) And the cases show some signs of overpressure. This leads to my question, if the cases e.g. Won't easily fit into the shellholder anymore I believe that I can throw them away.. Also I throw them away...

Thank you!

Why is it more expensive than a NF 12-42x56 ... ? I was happy to hear they made a featherweight scope until now..

Just for your Information and back to the original question: no it does not work ;) Just dropped a unfired case in the 6PPC USA body die but the bolt on my 6PPC won't close. P.S. @Martin & 27-T: Redding told me they made several custom dies for the 6PPC. Maybe this explains the different...

Mike, did you get any info on pricing yet? I did a quick Google search and ended up with roughly $2400 and this just does not feel right.

Dusty, thank you very much! I did read about Whidden Gunworks in Tony's book and I am willing to get a custom FL die done - BUT I am not quite sure about the "how". (Also I did read a lot about FL dies being recommended over neck-only-dies due to very high chamber pressures in the 6PPC) Becuase...

Hi Boys and Girls, I just received a 6mm PPC USA Redding Body die for my Kelbly rifle (6mm PPC .262), it was labeled as "6mm PPC" in the shop. So I just called the seller and he told me that the same die is used for 6mm PPC and 6mm PPC USA - (I don't think so!). Now I googled the die and it...
