If you take some off the top of the shell holder the die will size down further. Another thing you might do is paint the case with a Sharpie and try to chamber it to see where the case rubs. Also measure the base of the case before and after sizing. If its the same the die is the problem.

For the ranges I prefer to shoot game, under 650ys, I like 3x18 scopes a lot, like the VX6 Leupold, but the NX8 4x32 works well too. The reason why is I prefer to shoot reticles rather than dial the scope. Its faster and you dont have to worry if you re-zeroed your scope. The reason I like the...

Good luck with PTG. I ordered 4 blueprinted actions from them on Black Friday and I checked them on a arbor made in my Doosan CNC lathe that holds .0003-.0004" accuracy. One was "blueprinted" the other 3 were worse then a factory saw cut Remingtons. Remington actions that I trued were better...

I hope your a UT resident. If your not its about to get ugly for non-residents. Their Senate approved a 100% price increase across the board on everything for non-residents. They just raised prices in 2023 too. A cow elk tag that was 250 in '23 is now 350 and will go to 700. A license was 72 in...

I wish I didnt need a 4th but sadly I do. Now where to put it. :) I wish you guys would quit enabling me, or was it me enabling you? I can keep it straight anymore. Its all a blur. I saw go for the 6.5-280AI.

Bigger is almost always better if the bullets perform. I shot 15+ elk with a 358STA, 375-358STA, and 416 Rem mag. Big Berger's and ELD-M's make up for the bullet diameter.

With elk I only hunt with 30's using Bergers. I have shot them with 6.5's and the reaction to the impact is near non-existent with heart/lung shots. ELD-M's are lightyears better for game reactions. The 7's are better than the 6.5's but they are not .30's.

The 300wm is about 94grs of capacity, 300prc is about 97grs, the 28 Nosler is 103, and I think the 7prc is is about 84. I would bet a +P throat on a 7prc has about the same barrel life as a 7-300wm or 7-300prc because your cutting out half of the rifling height for a half inch or so. A 26"...

Lapua and ADG make brass now for the benchrest/hunter crowd but I wouldnt be surprised if Lapua and Berger add a loaded offering for factory guns. A medium length action and a longer throat would have made the 300wsm shine. I have 5 custom built 300wsm's with long throats on long actions. I also...

7-300prc? Its between the 2 in capacity. My buddies shoots 195's 3000fps in a 26" barrel. 28's tend to be pretty hard on barrels. I'd bet you'd be close to 3000fps with 180's in a 22".

Is there a reason why you dont want to use a Berger or 178gr ELD-M? We shot tons of deer and elk with 185gr and 190gr Bergers with 30-338 win mags 20 years ago and they worked well. Now I shoot 215's in a long throated 300wsm on a long action. I've killed over 20 elk with them, plus a AK moose...

I also use to throw double charges to load my 378 based cases. Now I use the V4 Autotrickler.

Manson will regrind reamers. I've had them change neck dimensions, throat lengths, and caliber changes on the same case.

Years ago when I had a 270 Remington 700 I use to shoot 55grs of IMR4350 with 130 Nosler Partitions. That guns would shoot that load 3/8". I shot 4831 in the others I had but this gun loved 4350.

Trump hints at 3 terms just to trigger people. Most people dont get him and scream dictatorship. They screamed the same thing after the rigged 2020 election and he stepped aside as normal. Most rational people know that election had a stench to it. Basement Joe got 6 million more votes then...

That's pretty cool he took the bull by the horns and got it done. Hopefully that fight in him will kick the cancer to the curb as well.

Trump didnt bully him. The deal was supposed to be done and the press conference was just to discuss it prior to signing. Zelensky wanted to relidigate the agreement in public instead of signing the deal and working on the rest in private afterwards. He is hung up on the US providing security...

It's a good thing Trump shut the border down. You might have to pack heat if he didn't. The next units south of there for hunting even have warnings about illegals in the hunting regs. I just got back from walking the mutts. We don't have snow and it was in the 50's today but it was in the 60's...

PTG is terrible about deadlines. When people cancel they charge a restocking fee even rhough they miss the dealines, sometimes by many months. I try to avoid buying anything from them but I did order a few actions in this sale. I was notified all but one actions was ready to ship just after...

I use to shoot 110gr bullets in my 300wm with 10grs of Red Dot. Those were over 1000fps.
