Remington designed the 700 to have 3 to 9 pounds of up pressure at the fore end tip. Meaning the up pressure gave the best accuracy with factory ammunition. There are two basic ways to make a rifle shoot better. 1. Tune the rifle to shoot the ammo you are using. 2. Tune the ammo in the rifle...

Read post #9 below "168 BTHP bullet wobble" https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=548430 The Hornady runout gauge holds the case like it would be held in the rifles chamber. Meaning in the chamber the case is supported and centered in the rear by the bolt face and by the bullet in...

Yes the standard concentricity gauge reads twice as much as the Hornady gauge. The Hornady gauge is reading the center line of the case from the primer flash hole to bullet tip. The thing to remember when the case is fired the thin side of the case body expands more and becomes egg shaped...

If you want to reduce neck runout and bullet runout then buy a Forster Benchrest 2 die set with their in line seating die. The Forster full length die has a high mounted floating expander. The expander enters the case neck while it is still held and centered in the neck of the die. This method...

Step 1. for a Quickload request is the case capacity of a fired case from your rifle. Without the correct case capacity the chamber pressure can vary as much as 6,000 to 8,000 psi. Step 2. for approximate Quickload data you need a chronograph and then change the burn rate in Quickload until the...

Below are two Quickload charts, the top chart is with the correct H2O capacity of 30.6 grains of H2O for my Lake City 5.56 cases. The bottom chart is the Quickload default setting of 28.8 grains of H2O and 6,000 psi higher in chamber pressure. Neither of these two charts have had the burn...

Newbury Quickload needs the case capacity of the cases you are using to get a "ball park" chamber pressure. Then to tune Quickload you need a chronograph to check the velocity of your fired rounds and then you adjust the burn rate of the powder in Quickload until the velocities match. There is...

Dwh7271 I posted what I did because I want everyone to know that Quickload isn't the gospel according to St. Reloader. And a trip to the Hogdon's website can be just as informative. And if you enjoy printing out the hundreds of powder possibilities that's all that matters if it makes you...

Hybrid 100V is a double base ball powder and as such is more temp sensitive than single base powders. General Dynamics Weapons Division who now owns the old Remington/DuPont IMR series of powders and the old Winchester ball powder line has teamed up with the Australian ADI powders. The new...

I have Quickload and do not understand why anyone asks for Quickload runouts. First you need the case capacity in grains of H2O Then you need to have a chronograph and change the burn rate in quickload until the velocities match to even start getting semi accurate information. Quickload is...

When you full length resize the case is squeezed and the case can only move upward in the die and actually become longer. Meaning the case becomes longer than the chamber and the bolt is difficult to close or it will not close at all. Below partial full length resizing can squeeze the case...

Quickload gives computer generated guesses and is worthless without a chronograph. First you need to know the fired cases capacity in grains of H2O, Quickload defaults to the lowest capacity case until you change it. Then you need to adjust the burn rate in Quickload until the output velocity...

caribouhunter If you leave the primer pockets as is, the cartridge will still go bang when you pull the trigger. Meaning there is nothing wrong with your primer pockets, and some of us have brass OCD. And we do things to our cases normal shooters would never do. I'm retired with nothing to do...

caribouhunter Buy a primer pocket uniformer and ream the primer pockets. This will insure all the primer pockets are the same depth and flat on the bottom for easy cleaning. This is only done once and your primer pocket cleaner should remove all the carbon. The primer should be seated with a...

Your pockets are cleaner because you are using a "uniformer" that reams the bottom of the primer pocket to a uniform depth and eliminated the rounded edges of the primer pocket. Meaning many primer pockets are bowl or dish shaped at the bottom. I just finished prepping 500 once fired Lake City...

There is a "little" wiggle room depending on the cartridge and chamber pressure. But again if you don't load hot you won't stretch your primer pockets. Simple Trick for Monitoring Pressure of Your Rifle Reloads http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloadi ... le-reloads My practice AR15 rounds kill...

DrMike I'm not worried about San Juan Island, my last name is Horton and my Canadian cousin Tim Horton restaurant locations are pictured below. I'm worried my Canadian cousin Tim is sneaking up on Washington DC again trying to surround it and burn it it to the ground "AGAIN". And all this...

I'm glad you know I was pulling your leg, I collected the British Enfield rifles and enjoyed talking to my English speaking cousins. Our family ancestors were divided and half moved to Canada and our side of the clan moved south to stay warm. :wink:
