    Full length resizing verses neck sizing

    Guy- I would disagree, we are splitting hairs on accuracy and precision. Guns can be accurate and guys can make accurate shots like you did on your Mule deer. Good Shooting by the way. Precision is important to make accurate shots. If my gun is not capable of holding a consistent cold bore...

    Full length resizing verses neck sizing

    Not to offend anyone, but why would you want to achieve the best accuracy at the bench? If it doesn't translate in the field? That whole mind-set always baffles me. If I can squeeze all the accuracy I can out of a rifle, that means in the field I know I have a premier performer and that I know...

    Brass Hanging In Sizing Die

    Several things occurring here. One, the scratches are from dirty brass scratching your dies, thus scratching your brass. You may want to clean the dies and see if they scratch the brass still. If so, I would send the dies off to be polished. Second, it looks like your brass was resized a lot...

    Anyone tried the 220 ELD-X in the 300 RUM?

    I'm loading my Warbird with the 212's ELD-X bullet that is. I get a velocity of 3120 and use a 1/10 twist to stabilize them. They prefer a .035" jump fyi.. the performance so far has been great! Groups are a dime size at 200 yards and on an elk it pounded it! Had a massive wound channel, no exit...

    barrel length for 215 Bergers

    The bullet you use has nothing to do with your barrel length, it's the barrel's twist. The twist will tell you how well your barrel will stabilize a certain Bullet. Barrel length affects barrel harmonics and velocity. It's about 50fps per inch of barrel. So add or subtract that , depending how...

    Let's see those long-range hunting rifles!

    I feel bad saying this, especially on this forum, but I'm not impressed with the 26, 28, 33, maybe a 41 Nosler compared to John Lazzeroni's cartridges. Just my opinion though. I've had my Warbird for almost 10 years. I just replaced the pencil thin barrel with that Proof barrel. PROOF was...

    Nosler Brass

    I always run mine through a resizer to ensure the necks will hold my bullets like I want them to. Besides it will be consistent to what your reloads will do if you are working up loads. Neck tension is one of the most important things to accomplish My wife thinks I only have 3 guns
