Making a cadillac from a shopping cart might just require being more than good.

I'm quite fond of a 7 X 57 Ackley and when Fueled with RE-17 and todays bullets, It may find a happy home right here.

Actually in my case, I was not unhappy about the die. I think sometimes the area preceeding the bushing is to large and this gave me an opportunity to bump a bit more area on the shoulder. My 30Br die actually started life as a 6BR small base, because I couldn't find a 30BR die that sized the...

Hombre0321, Yes, I had that same issue. The body was a very nice fit with my chamber, so I chose to open it with a carbide tipped chucking reamer. A little polish in that area and It worked quite well, with no further problem.

With the exception being that of removing moly, I would not want to polish bullets. Actually, I like the idea of leaving bullet lube on. I believe the original Remington Benchrest bullets came that way. I admit, I have never tested the idea, I just kinda like it, and had some great shooting with...

Maybe try tumbling moly bullets in a rotary tumbler with neverdull. When you open it up , you'll have to throw something away. Hopefully its the cotton wadding.

DSM, I have two more 15X unertals if you like them

Guys, I just don't follow the logic here. If we rely on reamers made of steel to form precision chambers, what is wrong with HSS for crowning barrels. Sharpened correctly they will produce crowns equal to any carbide.

I also agree, the woman in my second life will certainly be coaxial, but without audio

The squirts from my die, a detsch with 3 small holes, work very well for guys that fly fish. They wrap them around the leader adjusting weight by the length.

In a 6.5 X 47, I did find more velocity than with 4350. I was unable to tune it however. At its best, one target would be .200 and the next .750---- Varget and RE-15 grouped quite consistantly. Even the 4350 was better on tgt.

At a glance, this case was either completely annealed or was fed the wrong powder. If it was a sizing problem, it should show some amount of separation.

It must be the bedding, I can't hit anything anymore

Vern, be careful with the little blue pills, it may require an extended drop tube. Now don't forget the warnings, anything more than 4 hours at your loading bench and you will have to call the DR. Have no fear,all though you will talk to his answering machine, he just may call back in a...

Per Mikes instructions, always check humidity when setting up your woody

It would seem to me that a long list of variables could apply to this issue. Things like a fairly new case which has not work hardened in the neck area straightens with much less force than a well worn case. How agressive the FL sizing would also play a part. A neck sized only cases would...

Boyd, Bolt shrouds are not difficult to make, actually very easy. You can fit them as close as desired. What is important is that the bore for the firing pin is true with the bolt, not the shroud. The reason is that most bolts have the 1/3-13 thread out of allignment to some degree. Simply...

I don't advocate straightening rounds, though I have straightened lots of them. Necks seem to bend easily and this loosens the grip the neck holds on the bullet. Some powders are more affected than others and when you introduce another variable its not known what the affect is. Lumping...

Especially when the service station cashier only speaks one language and its not yours

I agree, I have done this and It does not straighten
