Good evening Gents, Can someone maybe assist me with the following problem. A friend of mine reloads for a .300Win Mag. using Sierra GK 180gr, and Prvi Partizan Brass. He assured me that the charge is well below max according to the manual. (I don't have the exact charge and type of powder...

New brass need less presure to chamber (thus fitting my chamber better). I measured all of new brass, once fired (fire-formed in my chamber) brass, and resized brass. The measurements in the RCBS presision mic were as follow: New: 0.000' Once fired: -0.0025' Resized: +0.002' Will I be...

Thanx for a informative reply. The problem is definitely not on AOL, since a empty resized also needs a bit of force to close in my 270's chamber. According to the info the guys supplied in this thread, I can pretty much say for sure that my .270's chamber is right on (very near) ANSI min...

Thanx Dave but, since I live in Namibia (Soutern Africa) the different time zones and telephone costs might present a problem.. I read the article on this forum on correct F/L die settup, which refined a lot of the processes in that area for me. Will do some research on case lubing as well and...

Know how you feel buddy! We (here in Africa) are way down on the "reloading component ladder", as most of the stuff are imported from you guys anyway. Had a German hunter brought a 1000 RWS5333 (magnum size) primers with from Germany when he came here on safari on a friends farm in July...

I get the same result in both Prvi & PMP brass, so I don't think its the cases. After reading all the replies, I rather think the problem might be in my prosess:cool:. Boss Hoss, will you be so kind as to elaborate more on the process of lubing the cases. I use spray-on lube, but just sprayed...

Thanx for all the info. Being new at reloading, I was unaware of a lot of the pointers given here - eg. "....Most noobs seem to put far to much lube on the upper case and less than they should on the lower portion. That should be reversed." I use to put all the cases upright in the case...

Good day gents, When FL sizing cases every other case dents on the lower edge of the shoulder. I heard that its the result of too much case lube, but it still happens when substancially reducing the amount of lube on each case, although less frequent. I cleaned the die thoroughly and made sure...

I use it in .270Win & .243Win and no probs thus far. Cheaper than Norma / Winchester locally.

Thanx a lot gents!!:) That's why I joined this site- lot of clever blokes around.... I previously only ajusted the die to touch the shellholder- without camming over- and MagnumManiac is absolutely right - the shellholder doesn't touch the die's base when a case is inserted. I was hesitant...

Pieter, from NAMIBIA, (west of South Africa, south of Angola). Lots of hunting oppotunies here. Where I stay (in the north of the country), abundand Kudu, Oryx, Hartebeest, Eland, Warthog, ect.

Hi Guys, I've been reloading for my new .270Win for a short while now and get acceptable groups from the bench over 100m. Last week I obtained a RBCS precision mic to determine my rifles headspace. The mic. works on the principle of measuring fired brass from your rifle (thus fire-formed in...

Hallo all, My name is Pieter and I live in Namibia (South Western Africa.) We do quite a bit of hunting locally and I recently started reloading as well. Hope to learn a lot on this site, especially in the reloading department. :)Regards
