I have shot the same cases twice without annealing, still have carbon issues. Virgin brass tried on two separate tests came out clean / no carbon . I sized neck and body only when I sized prior to when I had 300 pieces. after it was fired, I adjusted for bump to get .002" bump. I noticed that...

Never mind, I shipped the die off to Short Action Customs along with my fired and virgin brass.

I done it once without annealing, I'll try again soon.

I have been real busy, but was able to fire off 230 rounds of loaded virgin Alpha brass for my 6 Dasher to be fireformed for my upcoming 600 yard matches but there is an issue that I have been wrangling with. It will be quite a lengthy story, but I'll do my best. The Dasher is a .275 no turn. I...

I shoot SK and Lapua in my 22 Vudoo. I stick with Lapua Center X for competitions, but the SK Standard Plus are great ammo. It's cheap for the accuracy that you want. I never shot Eley yet. SK Standard has produced good groups in the .25 to .5 MOA at 50 yards, I like it for practice. You may...

I have nothing but Nightforce ATACR's on my rifles, ranging from 6 Dasher, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 x 284, .308, 300 Win Mag, even on my .22 Voodoo. A bit heavy, but i like em. Reticles are nice too.

Handsome tom right there.

Thanks Fotis.

That is neat and simple. I wondered about using my fish weight scale which has a hook on the bottom end, and put a zip tie or a heavy string under the muzzle, hook the other end to the fish scale and pull the slide back with the scale until it barely extends 100% to compress the spring and get...

I have two Kimbers that I like to check for spring poundage? I may have swapped different poundage springs 15 odd years ago, and i havent been using the Kimbers at all. It's been in the case ever since and I want to determine what poundage the springs are? How do I verify this?

I use Kroil on rags to wipe carbon off the cases before annealing / sizing. My hands would stink of Kroil after washing my hands as well. I could try to wear a pair of gloves next time when using it.

That is so true.

Just a thought that came across, do any of you guys wear latex gloves while reloading? We have been seeing warning labels on ammo accessories like lead and chemicals, etc. I never wore gloves while reloading, but always wash my hands thoroughly after handling and reloading ammo. My wife has a...

I love the 168 BT for my .308, but was not able to find any for years. I currently have the 165 BT as a replacement. The 168 shoots a little tighter than the 165's. Good job on the woodchucks.

Looks delicious. We make venison and nilgai meatloaf from time to time, once you dig in, its no stopping you. 😁 The ketchupy home made topping on top goes well with it. Thinking to make some next week, but I want to do either a brisket smoke or a BBQ first. Been a while since we had a BBQ.

I have used Teslong. It's good for the money.

That is funny, imagine getting a rash sliding down that tree. I never had a climbing stand. You never know when accidents can happen. I knew a guy that I did not frequent very much with over a period of 20 years, he sent me a text with a picture of a 10 foot bowhunting tripod he built but I...

Have you a borescope to check the bore? I would like to check the bore and see the condition it is in after cleaning. It's strange that velocity dropped 200 fps after cleaning. Has it been shooting same groups as before prior to cleaning?

Keep us posted on how she shoots. At 2200 fps with 500 grains is north of 5300 foot lbs of energy. :eek:

I'm sure she can handle it. ;)
