When did you submit your order with STM? Just trying to gauge their current turnaround time for the Model B's.

Amen to that! Hell I'd take 3 maybe 4 of the same lot# right now at that price if you decided to split. They'd still sell pretty fast too.

I didn't really care about this stuff 'cause I have a great Berger 210 VLD load and I'm fine tuning a load for 230 OTM's and H1000 that I'm pretty happy with....then I ran it through QL to see what all the hoopla was. Whoa! If it performs like QL is projecting for my setup I might have to start...

I have a lot of 100 Lapua 223 Rem Match brass. The brass is unused, unprimed and unprepped. Just like it comes from the store. The box was opened so each case could be weighed so other than some finger prints they are brand new. $50.00 shipped to the 48. PM if interested, thanks.

So manufacturers aren't known to "blend" their powders? News to me but I'm no chemist and I don't work at their plant so I really can't say for sure either way. Maybe a politely worded email to them will result in a reply containing what off-the-shelf powder they use. Or if they do blend from...

Nah. Recharge > seat > shoot! (...so long as you didn't use the "pliars and wiggle-out" bullet pulling method and the brass was in good shape to begin with the neck and tension will be just fine)

I'd totally forgive you if you knocked off a couple hundred bucks! Yeah I can see that in my heart! Besides, you're in need of a Guinea Pig. ;) jk, Mason. Nice website. Good luck.

Both. Good answers from Mike and Sidecarflip. I feel both are important. If you're close to the lands you will need to use your new tool to avoid an issue. Tips can vary your COAL by .015" or more & less in some cases. If you're trying to stay 1-5 thou off (or into, for that matter) you're...

Yote. I believe "2.35" is the max coal if I'm not mistaken. It's not a hard and fast rule. Some bullets will need to be seated deeper while others can be let out further. Try seating your chosen bullet one caliber deep. IOW, take the diameter (cal.) of your bullet and seat it AT LEAST that deep...

User error! :P lol If the problem stops by simply switching back to your old tried and true lube then I venture to guess you isolated your own solution. :) I've never had good luck with with the fancy-pants spray lubes. To get them to work right for me I had to put brass in a bag then spray...

As far as I know it's a proprietary powder, meaning it's not commercially available for purchase. There are several recipes that duplicate it fairly close. I couldn't tell you what it/they are though. Maybe someone here can post a close imitation.

I KNOW!!!! But I can't stop now. OCD won't permit it. :)

Factory chamber? Mostly a warm fuzzy benefit, IMO. There is a marginally measurable benefit as I see it and that is that it assures that your bullet is released from the neck evenly upon firing. Even release > Centered bullet axis to the bores axis > Better consistency > Better accuracy. How...

Yes sir. Lyman's is a little less conservative. Lyman's has the Sierra HPBT 190 (#2210) & H1000 at 76.0 START 83.5 MAX (compressed) Careful, there! Out of curiosity, Driller54, where did you read that 78.5gn is the starting load? Also, man...I have to mention; changing components without...

...and maybe check in on his high school English teacher. I have a hunch he might have just crawled into a corner with a bottle of cheap vodka and one round in the chamber mumbling something like, "How could I have 'FAILD' him so badly? I may need 'profecional' help....you know? From...
