Well I just yesterday I finished pillar and glass bedding my Rem 700 in 243. win. using the Acraglass Gel. Turned out awesome. Sure is great stuff!! Compared to the J-B its a lot nicer to work with. I stays where u put it. Now hopefully tomorrow I can go out and shoot itgun)

Hey thanks for the reply......I decided I'll experiment with my Rem 700 30-06 using J-B weld and get some practice for my next project. I got some Acra glass Gel for my varmint gun with wood stock...Rem 700 .243 Hoping it turns out good...... Thanks Again!:)

Hello Guys, I've heard some people use J-B weld for bedding compound. Does this work as good or close to other compounds. Any thoughts? I would be cheaper. Just thought maybe if it works fine I might try it on some of my rifles. Let me know what u think........

Hi guys....I'm back again:) I just ordered a Agra-glass gel kit and should come the end on this week. I'm doing a lot of research on this as I want to make sure I do it right. Just wondering what u guys think of aluminum pillar blocks. Is that beneficial for the money or will I be just as good...

Hi Guys, I'm getting ready to reload for a seating depth test for for my .243 win. Just wondering if I should load with a lower end load or is it safe to go with 44.7 when 45gr is max? I tested charge and 44.7 is my OCW. Any help would b appreciated!

Well...in this case I can't remove the depriming pin because on the Lee Collet neck die it uses a mandrel to size the inside. Maybe they make a mandrel without a depriming pin on it I don't know.I guess I was pretty ignorant that it would ruin the primer. I read that u can deprime live primers...

Hello Guys, I just reloaded a bunch of shells for a test I want to shoot. I had pulled the bullets from these shells earlier (because I changed powder) and deprimed the primers to resize the brass. I reprimed with those same primers and noticed that a few felt somewhat loose compared to a "new"...

Thanks Justgoto for that tip. I set my die to where it sized just before camover and it works great. It's a lot more consistant. Thanks everyone for the help. Happy reloading:)

I just starting reloading and this is the first sizing die I've used. I think I partly solved the problem. My press wasn't mounted very sturdy but I improved it. Now only 4 in 100 shell are on the loose side. I turned my die in about 5 turns past the shell holder which seems to to work well. The...

Hello Guys, I'm having alittle trouble with sizing my 243. win brass necks. Hornady once fired brass. 90% of them size great but a few won't give enough of bullet grip. Do they need to be annealed or is it something with my sizer. Using a Lee collet neck sizer. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for helping this green horn out:) Yes, I had been using H414 with pretty good results but then H4350 came on the shelf so I decided I'll use that being it does better with temp changes. I guess I'll start with 39 gr and work up till pressure shows. Thanks a lot

Thank for the reply, You guessed right...I don't have a reloading manual and I should get one but for now I'm used the internet. I guess I was kinda confused with a few different load data websites info. Hodgdon Reloading says: 38.3 min 40.7 max A few others say 41.5 min to 45.5 max for an...

Hi guys, I'm trying to find data for .243 win with 80 Sierra using H4350. What is the average min. and a safe max. Just need an idea. I was thinkin in the 43 - 45 gr range. Any favorite loads to share with this combination? Thanks in advance :)

Ok, thank for your help guys! I'll probably give it a shot in the future. Thanks again :)

Hello, I've read that by free floating a barrel can improve accuracy some. I have a older Rem 700 Adl with a walnut stock. I tried sliding pc. of paper between stock and barrel but is is tight. I accually took the stock off and the coating of the barrel was worn off in some places. Can I do this...
