I didn't see any specifics but I'll try to look further when I have time. Thanks

No need to turn the brass for it to fit, hopefully, with proper and adequate clearance.. It's been working great for a few years now, with a National championship and maybe a couple of national yardage wins on top of that. I'm not the only one toying with it again and seeing good results.

The bbl swells a tiny bit every time ya fire the gun and the brass tries to go back to that expanded state. That's how they can get tight after they lose a bit of elasticity to spring back. I find it rare to feel radial expansion upon close but it can be very apparent upon opening. If only neck...

It's not a big deal at all. Most people remove a little from the shell holder but I prefer to take it from the die, myself and not have a dedicated shell holder. Plus, I could then use the redding shell holder set if I chose to. Just take .010 off the die and you're set for the holders to do...

They only REDUCE bump. They won't give more bump. The one marked zero, is the same as a standard shell holder and they get thicker from there. So no.

Trying to follow you as best I can here but I think what you're seeing is fairly common. The brass has nowhere to go while being squeezed down radially and gets longer UNTIL the die comes in contact with the shoulder and pushes it all back where ya want it. It's not uncommon and is typically not...

I understand about NDA's but that makes it harder to offer the best advice is all. Good luck with it.

Are you running for office? Sounded familiar! Lol!😀 Sorry if this is the wrong place to try to be funny. ;)

I can see both sides and not a huge deal to me. Personally, I come here for BR related stuff and kinda got tired of seeing that thread. No offense intended whatsoever. I think a humor subsection is great but whatever gets traffic back on here is good to me.

Just MHO but in the world we now live in, people put themselves into groups where it's near impossible not to offend "the group". If I said, "zippy, you are this or that", I can see you possibly being offended but I don't put myself into any groups and I believe in respecting individuals as they...

Well...say something funny and this can be a new one. Lol! I lost interest after several pages and I think that's a good enough reason. It could be a locked sticky or whatever but people stop reading the same thread after a while. I think it would be more efficient really to simply make a new...

Seemed so.

Agreed! Nicely centered up wind call and shooting! Congrats!

Impressive wins! Do you have the targets from those National championships? It'd be great for others to see(pics) what it takes to win at this level in the real world.

This one isn't worth the effort. Do what works for you...but preach to the experienced, only from experience. He said, she said is why there is a lot of confusion in the first place. Testing is how we know stuff!

There used to be some great threads on here about bullet making by @Al Nyhus and others. The search function might help or someone may respond. I'm sure the jacket will stretch some but not much for that amount. It's probably calculable but I'm not that person either. Lol! I just think this...

How much is too much stretch? Could you not use .standard .224 jacket diameters and cores in a die(s) that yields a .228 bullet? Not enough details.

It'd be worth a call to J4, Sierra and to Bart. He may know if one or more makers are willing to do customs or not. I just think this is pretty much the equivalent of doing a wildcat cartridge. You'll likely need to start with something close and modify them. If it works out for you, then a...

Just a guess but you will likely need to start with a .224 jacket that is long enough to be trimmed and swage the diameter up. I just don't think you'll have much luck getting anyone to tool up for 1000 custom jackets. I may well be wrong. Good luck.

I can appreciate anyone doing what works for them. Again, I really like to keep these discussions limited to my method of tuning rather than different makes or designs. I make tuners but I'm not trying to sell anyone anything by explaining my method. Only hoping to help people understand them...
