Seaneeken, you were 100% right on that. I backed the die away from the shell holder and it no longer crinkles the brass. However hammers load data calls for 2.140 coal, if I go that short they will not chamber.

Got it. I was referring I didn’t catch that in your reply. I was thinking of the seating adjustment but sounds like I need to back the die out. I’ll try that. Thanks for the help.

I just ran a piece of brass in the seating die with no bullet and it puts a significant crip in it. I have never seen this on my other dies.

The flare seems fine and I started out with the seating die all the way out. As soon as I press the bullets past the first indent it will buckle like that.

I just got my dies for 350 legend and every bullet it try to seat is doing this. Hammer 125 bullets Winchester brass and Lee dies. The hammers measure exactly what they should so it seems like a die problem? Any help would be appreciated. I did use the expander die but get the same results.

When I was a 16 or 17 I climbed down out of my climber and started for the truck after dark. About half way back I started hearing something following me. I stopped and shined my light. Nothing. Started again, it started again. I stoped and looked nothing. I started it started so I sped up. It...

Sounds like a nice build. If it were me I would go with a 24” barrel. That’s what I have on my 7RM and I’m hesitant to take the break off and put a suppressor because of the length. I get 2920 fps with 180 bergers with the 24” barrel

Same here. Left eye dominate with two right handed sons. I figure I will continue to purchase RH bolt actions so they are more useful for them later. I’ve always made it work even though it’s not ideal.

I get about 2900 out of my 24” barrel. Savage action criterion barrel. 180 bergers and RL26

I just went through the MI 2022 Hunting Digest and I could not find anything that would restrict you from quartering your deer to get it out.

I have lived and hunted in MI my whole life and have never heard of any restrictions that would say you can’t. I’ll read through this years rule book to confirm.

It’s legal, I just never do it because we don’t have the vast areas like like out west. We can typically drag it a couple hundred yards to a 4 wheeler or truck. Just make sure you keep what is needed for proof of gender if it’s a buck tag. Horns or balls if button buck.

Dang it. Just missed it.

Update on this two years later. I never actually had a chance at him. Lol. Go figure, **** cameras get my hopes up.

I don’t sell any. Lol Only add on to the collection. I should probably sell a few and get into something nicer than what I have.
