So after doing some more looking and measuring, it looks to me like the .308 dia. at the heel is just right at the heel and tapers quickly down from that dia. from there so I'm guessing the .308 heel part goes into the case neck and partially expands it some, but by the time the bullet is seated...

I just checked and Midway has them on back order so I'll order some when they get in and give them a try.

OK I believe I've found my problem, I loaded a dummy round usining a .308 Nosler Accubond in the .30-30 case, and could not push the bullet back into case, so loaded dummy round using the Remington 170 gr. SP 30-30 bullets I got from Midway, bullet easily slipped back into case, so measured the...

Dies are set right, I always set dies using my Stoney Point and bump shoulder back .003-.005" I already have Lee Crimper but can't get bullets to stay in neck without slipping around for OAL can move them with my fingers in and out. Checked bullets and they are OK for dia. Only thing I can see...

I was loading some 30-30 today for a friend, I do not have one, but I have the RCBS dies and they are new and only 100 rounds loaded if that. I have loaded about 25 rounds, seated the bullets but not crimped and I noticed one of the bullets had slipped back into the case where only the tip was...

Thanks for the info, I'm still wondering if there are any tricks or things i should be doing with regards to bullet seating in this WBY rife. It seems to have a mile of freebore and most all of the other rifles i've loaded for like the bullet seated out close to the lands. Are WBY rifles not...

I'm loading for a friends 300 WBY MAG and I've never reloaded for a WBY rifle before, its has lots of freebore and I'm trying 180 gr. Accubonds in it, need help / info on loading for this rifle, i.e. OAL for cartridge, how sentative is this cartridge to OAL , should i try to load as close to...

Thanks guys for the info, I guess I'm going to figure that 1/2" groups @ 2700 fps in 22" barrel is going to have to do it for him. Animals won't know the difference between 2700 and 2900. Last time I loaded this upped the powder charge a little and was getting 2800 fps and still under 3/4"...

Rick, Brass had been reloaded several times before I got it to work with. So with unknow number of reloadings I figured I'd use it to work up loads and then get new brass for loading final hunting loads.

Rick, I've been FL sizing to fit chamber, measured fired cases and set shoulder back .002" so not doing as die manufacturer recommends.

Rick, I did this for a friend, the brass he has had been loaded several times and always FL sized, during the course of working up loads I had a few develope neck splits, figured it was time to retire it and start with new stuff. That is the reason for the question, he's ordering scope with...

I have worked up loads for .30-06 using 180 gr. bullet. I used some fired brass during the process of developing the loads, so each has been fired several times. Now I've found the load that works best in this rifle. I'm going to buy new brass, same manufacture as that used to development...

Rick, Also I'm using RCBS dies for this gun, loading for a buddy and he bought the dies and stuff for it. It seems like the collet die might be a better option when loading for hunting ammo. I use Redding bushing type neck dies on most of my own stuff. I also have several sets of RCBS dies and...

Rick, I had sized 100 new brass ( winchester ) and after firing 30 or so on load development and cleaning and re-sizing them I happened to check neck runout, mostly because of problem with another gun, happened to put some brass on RCBS Casemaster and checked them, couldn't believe they had...

Rumshooter, Can you remember the name of the article? Outdoor Life has very limited search and I can't find anything that looks like reloading article by Jim Carmichel.

Is there a prescribed method of fixing cases with neck run out of .004" or more? I have some .270 win cases that have been fired and when they were re-sized the neck run out was .004" or more.

I'll throw in another vote for the Ramshot line of powders as well. Also, Hodgdon because of the temp thing. But more important how about an online manual as well, something kept up to date like Alliant, Ramshot, Hodgdon and IMR are doing.

What brand primer pocket uniformer do you use / like and why. I'm looking to something I can chuck into cordless drill motor to speed up the process.
