Color the bottoms with a marker. Makes it easy for sorting.

Is it the regular or 7mm rem long brass?

So got my die set up and properly going. The forming bushing are in .025 steps...starts out at .475 down to .309. I did figure out annealing is a bad idea until after 3 steps of necking down.. nuked the case in my amp annealer..after that I just annealed every other stage. One thing I did...

Guess I should clarify...the nosler brass is new untouched....the Remington brass has been turned for 70 percent cleanup on the necks and sorted

I'm on the hunt for some more Peterson basic brass. I'll buy it outright or I'm willing to trade for some nosler or Remington brass that's been sorted and neck turned so it's consistent.. pm me my trading brass is new unfired.

I have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders...and I'm 39...(Oil field and motocross got me)...as I've gotten older I'm switching to putting muzzle brakes on everything and also have been shooting a lot of smaller cases...6xc for example..I still hunt with magnums but on my factory rifles I've...

Boretech for the win...I read a article where one of the main guys from Norma talked about ammonia based cleaners and the damage it does to your barrel.. after that my sweets got set aside and I've used nothing but boretech.

Crap! I was interested in the 6.5...if driftin passes I'll take it

What thread are those?

If it was me...I'd go 28 nosler...I have a 7mm stw and while I love it I sank way too much money into it...($1600 in action work alone). Being as they're ballistic twins the 28 nosler is easier to find good brass...(adg makes it). You don't have to cut the action and run a Wyatt's long magazine...

I used to go off saami spec too thinking i was safe....now I run my bore camera down it and chamber up a fired case and actually look at it...I know my stw is touching at the neck at 2.873....and the shoulder head spaces at 2.410...i bump my shoulders to 2.408 and my brass only stretches the...

This is the reamer print from when it was chambered...I think if most guys ran a camera inside and chambered up a fired brass ...you'd be surprised how much room you got before trimming is needed.

My chamber print shows 2.871....my actual to "touch" is 2.873. 2.850 is saami length

Made 10 cases today. First fired with 180 gr mk and a mild charge (65 grains) of data 86 powder...same as accurate 3100...my go to powder for breaking in magnums as the flame temp is so cool but burn rate is close to h1000...just really temp sensitive. Interesting thing happened in that the...

After I get a couple cases formed I'll go into more detail about the process but this Neil Jones die is working perfectly.
