    Reload Chambering Issue

    The whack a mole pullers work. I gave myself tendonitis pulling about 150 rounds once, so either just do a few at a time or get something like a collet style, or a puller I've been meaning to purchase, grip n pull. Looks pretty slick and is supposed to not leave any marks on the bullets. Sent...

    Dillon Caliber Conv Help

    If you go to Dillons website, on the caliber conversion page, you can get the new chart. https://dilloncdn.com/magento/charts/xl750-conversion-chart.pdf According to this, the 6.5 creedmoor uses a different shell holder than 270 and 280 Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Seating depth - does it even matter?

    If no one's testing or sample size satisfies your curiosity, and you want to know if there's an actual difference, why don't you test it yourself. Shoot 30 round test strings at various seating depths and see if what your ballisticians claim is actually true. Sure it's a lot of components, but...

    Seating depth - does it even matter?

    Help pick my load

    I'd go with 48.4. between 48.2,48.4, and 48.6 there's almost no poi(point of impact) shift. The middle node gives you the most margin for error. That's likely a velocity plateau, but it's impossible to tell without a Chrono Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Steel wool

    The harbor freight rock tumblers are a great cheap way to get into tumbling. I bet steel wool works great too though Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Heavy for Caliber Bullets with Short Barrel?

    I don't think 18 would be much of a problem. My concern would be making sure you get complete powder burn, and with heavier bullets you usually end up with a slower burning powder. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Beam scale and actual performance

    While beam scales might have graduations that stop at .1 increments, if you're patient and look, it's pretty easy to get that down to +/- .05 or less. It's all about reading the space in between the lines, and comes with experience Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Help- what am I doing wrong? Brass binding when bullet seating.

    Yeah, annealing and tumbling wouldn't cause that, but if you're not using a temperature indicating paint like tempilaq, you should. I think the bigger bushing will be your best. I personally prefer to measure for bushings using an empty case and measuring the wall thickness and actually...

    Did you measure for your neck bushing? How did your arrive at your numbers? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Help- what am I doing wrong? Brass binding when bullet seating.

    Generally that's caused by having the die body screwed in too far and the die starts the crimp while it's still trying to seat the bullet. Unscrew the die 2 to 3 turns, readjust the seating stem and try again. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Variety of brass mfg.

    Unless you're loading for competition, you'll be fine loading mixed brass. Trim, size, etc as you normally would, just be mindful that you might want to shy away from max loads as the different brass thicknesses can cause variations in pressure Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    seating depth for eld-x 212 grain bullets in 300 wing mag

    If feeding from a mag is important, start at the longest length that allows and work from there. I generally start at 5 thou off and test from there Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
