Yes, or the depth of the tap drill hole at full diameter would probably be more useful.

I'd like to make a seating die with my 22BR reamer. I already have a micrometer top from Redding. Does anyone have a Redding Standard (not sliding sleeve type) 22BR or 6BR seating die that they can measure the body length and thread length of for me? I emailed Redding but they told me it was...

Never mind. I just found the problem. Firing pin cocking ramp was dry and needed a little grease. Back to smooth. Something so simple sometimes. Thanks.

I have a 700 action that was trued a few barrels ago. I recently installed a new 22BR barrel and was fireforming brass with fairly stiff loads. The problem is, the bolt lift got very heavy and gritty feeling even on an empty chamber after the trigger was pulled. The lugs and abutments were...

What RPM's do you run your PPC carbide reamer? The one that I'm buying is a 22BR, so pretty close to the same thing.

If you could purchase a carbide chamber reamer for the same price or less of a HSS reamer, would you? Pros and cons of carbide reamers? Also does anyone know the industry standard diameter for the pilot diameter for bushings on the reamer itself for 22 caliber? (the diameter for the...

The brass may have gained some capacity. The barrel may have gained some velocity. You may have annealed softer then factory.

Thanks.

Well, the soot went away with 1 more grain and just got better the higher I went. I did notice a large velocity swing with the 210 primers. I went to WLR's and worked back up and it shot better than I expected a Remington factory sporter barrel and a 4 lb. trigger to shoot. The velocity from...

Will do. Thanks

WOW! That's very scientific of you. The reason you don't answer my question directly, is because you have nothing to back up your statement about changing powder and probably have never even used StaBall powder or even a slight inkling of a recommendation. The max load data I posted was from...

So, what would be your choice of powder(s)? Please tell me why you think StaBall 6.5 isn't a good choice.

I just got data from Berger. They said, " This is a situation where the differences in a given bullet design will call for different load data and you will see where our data developed for use with both our 95gr VLD & 95gr Classic Hunter bullets is totally different than the data that our...

The brass is 243 Winchester, Sierra branded which they told me was most likely made by Lake City. It's very heavy compared to other brands, so I can believe that. It weighs 184 grains as compared to the Lapua I have on hand which is 172 grains. By my method, it holds 52 grains of water which is...

I also sent a note to Berger since it's their bullet. Hodgdon's data is with a Nosler 95 Partition which is a flat base and I'm almost certain that it has a longer bearing surface than the 95 VLD. I explained what was going on and I asked them to run some data for me to compare to Hodgdon's...

No. I was doing load development from 41.0 to 42.8 in .5 grain increments. I haven't gotten to the point of a chrono. yet. These were the 1st loadings of that powder/bullet/primer combo.

That was one of my concerns with just upping the powder.

I just recently picked up 5K 210M's in the old gold packaging labeled "Bench Rest" as opposed to the new Gold Metal Match packaging. Were these primers any milder/ less hot then the newer 210M's? I'm having a problem with a new Remington 243 Win rifle with an 8 twist and a fairly long throat...

I have an extra Leupold 700 long action, long range scope base on the shelf. I have a short action I need a base for. Has anyone modified a 700 standard long action windage base to fit a short action by adding a hole to match the rear hole in the receiver and cutting the end of the base off to...

What is the average life of a PPC barrel for competitive accuracy?
