My only experience with quarter bores is with a 257 Roberts that I had rechambered to 257 Roberts Ackley Improved 40*. When it was a straight 257 Roberts It shoot everything up to 100 grain great but groups with 120 grain opened up. Making it into an Ackley, with the extra velocity, has...

I think that Remington still offers one model of their 7600 pump in .223

Remington quit chambering the 7400 in .223 in 2004, so you will have to search gunbroker etc.

I agree with DEAN to anneal, clean, and full-length resize.

H110 and 296 are the same powder and were just sold by different companies.

My answer is no. If you are going to load mixed hulls you will need a mixed variety of wads. Some hulls have straight walls and some are tapered. I would suggest that you buy Lymans shotshell reloading manual.

The answer is yes, both will remove stuck cases from a sizing die. I just had RCBS remove a stuck case that had pulled apart in a 7mm Rem Mag BAR sizing die.

I don't think a boycott would do anything, there is just too much pent-up demand. After two years of almost nothing on the shelves and more guns being sold every day, people need the product. Manufacturers have learned that with increased prices they can make more money and produce less.

I love Speer bullets for hunting but have not been able to get them for over a year. So it has been no use talking about them.

When you try to chamber a round and it doesn't, are you seeing narks on the bullet that would indicate that you are into the rifling? Weatherby's normally are built with a lot of freebore but your rifle may have a short throat. If you have access to a Hornady OAL gauge and modified case you can...

I have an 6.5-06 Ackley that I love. When I built it I was flush with 30-06 brass so that is what I used and still use. When you neck down brass the wall of neck is thick, so I bought a .262'' inside neck reamer from Forster. After reaming the necks I trim them to length. To fireform them I use...

I've tried to limit my purchases to just NEEDS and have eliminated the WANTS and DESIRES. That said, I feel that those that hunt with .257 calibers are the forgotten children of Sierra and Speer!

Full length!

It appears to me that the case on the right hasn't been sized. I disagree with your statement that you can't bump a shoulder. If you've ever formed brass you know that you can move a shoulder, it is done all the time. A .002" shoulder bump is less than half the thickness of a dollar bill.

You can just FL size and we did it for years. I now use the .002 shoulder bump method to keep my brass feeding properly while staying close to fireformed to the chamber and to keep from overworking my brass. It is a personal choice. I found that if I neck sized only occasionally I had a stiff...
