That was inside case neck diameter. I have fixed the issue since then. I wasn't putting enough pressure on the bottom of the downstroke while sizing the case. And that was allowing for variance. User error of course.

Well, I actually had problems with the bullets being loose/falling out and then realized I wasn't putting enough force on my press to size the neck properly. .005 was a maximum rough estimate. All of them are less than .005, but I'd say most of mine are .003 in variance.

I just started using Lee Collet dies for it. And measured the neck, they weren't that tight but they were within .005 of each other. The brass I'm using at the moment is remington. It seems to be ok, but I may throw down more money for the next batch. What brass would you suggest? I've heard...

Ok, I will try that and see how it goes. I plan to try some RL 22 and 25 at some point as I've heard good things about them too. I've never heard of doing it that way and that will be the way I test loads from now on.

I am jumping them but only .10 I have tried the 4350 but it didn't have as good of a group as the 7828. But they were close. Barrel is a McGowen 26" I believe the twist is 1-12 if I remember correctly with out looking at my paperwork.

Has anyone shot the VLD 175 Hunting in a 300wm. That's the bullet I decided on and have loaded and shot 50 rds so far. Not grouping how I'd like yet but the brass wasn't fireformed and I only tried 4 powders so far. IMR7828ssc is what seems to be the best to far. Just any info would be...

Direct through McGowen. Great people by the way. Two weeks might be stretching the truth some, it's been so long and I had to wait on everything else for a while, but the barrel arrived first, and it wasn't longer than 6 weeks for sure.

Thanks and credit goes to the wife for the wall hanger.... Lol

After having some trouble with my Rifle Basix trigger, I was able to get it to a tolerable level of performance. My Manners stock finally arrived in two days shy of 16 weeks, I ordered it from Stocky's. McGowen barrel showed up super fast in just two weeks after I placed the order...

Brand new? If not, how many shots have been down the tube?

I've watched the dvd a few times now to make sure I was doing everything right, and I am. I can get it to 10 ounces and get it to work, but you have to be very careful with it when closing the bolt... It's a pretty simple mechanism, and I didn't get on here at the first sign of trouble with...

I am planning to give them a call when I get off work today. Just figured I'd talk to the guys who know more than I do in the meantime. :D

Testing.... Is this thing on? Everyone was quick to defend RB. I have real data now and I'd like to talk to someone who is or isn't having the same problems. And why, or why not? Mine is an SAV-2 and I'm trying to get the trigger pull down below 10 ounces safely.

Ok, Lets talk about RB triggers again.... Now that I have the second trigger, and I have a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge to put on it now. And I am still unhappy. Because the trigger does not do what is advertised. This one does the same thing as the last. If I put the red spring which...

I wish my one worked. Are yours Sav-1's or Sav-2's? I'd ask for help from you but, if you haven't had any problem then it will be tough for you to help me.... I'm glad at the moment that I only ordered 1. I have 2 more rifles I was planning on using RB triggers on.
