Apples and Oranges. You are lubing the bullets, and I'm lubing the inside of the case necks. All kinds of ways to skin the cat. F

I think anybody having trouble with graphite building up and being messy are using way to much of it. I use a body die then a bushing die for the neck. I dip the neck in Imperial dry lube container, tap of the excess on the edge of the container and size.... Outside of the case neck sized...

I use the chamber length gauges also. I find that the cut length of most chambers is usually longer than the "max cartridge OAL." Knowing the length of your chamber will allow you to run a longer neck, reducing the size of the carbon ring. I have never trimmed a case to the "trim to length."

Since 931? Explain please.

I have a Smith & Wesson revolver that I believe the rifling in it was cut with this prosess.

Thanks.

I just tried that link you posted, and it seems to be an email address. Do they have a web site?

I was very interested in this article until I got to the part about having to lengthen the chamber to keep the bullet above the neck shoulder junction. That killed for me.

This says it all in my mind. If none of these calculators work it has to be input error. FYI. IStrelok uses G1 for BC. I emailed and asked.

The two times I stuck a case I was using One Shot.

Gunbot used to be a good site. Started up during the Obumer period. Just checked, it's still up. http://www.gunbot.net/reloading/Powder/

I usually work up a load and then use the MS to get the ES, SD, and velocity. I also keep the muzzle the same distance from the end of the mount and the bayonet level across the bottom on all my rifles. It will still change point of impact a bit, but not more then 1- 1-1/2", usually up and...

Yes pack it well. I ordered a Savage F/class rifle from a stocking dealer, it is a long heavy gun. When I went to the dealer to pick it up, the barrel was sticking out of the tape on the end of the box. The tape was there because it had gone through before.

Different plastic used for the powder thrower. All I'm saying is, if you are going to mix powder, try to use the container it came in if you are trying to avoid static.
