about how much increase in velocity are you getting, regarding your AI vs when it was standard??

Easy as pie to ream your own chamber

My apologies Sir I thought you were “strictly concerned about preservation of meat” My mistake You keep on throwing away all that neck meat….. probably would not like it anyways

You sure waste a lot of meat shooting the neck low. this was about SAVING meat straight through the lungs would be a safer better shot.

I use lee dies that only touch the neck I have never needed to FL size as I don’t use max loads all the time but dies are not that expensive. We think nothing of buying a set to dedicate to a rifle, what’s a few $ more? I fireform with RedDot/BullsEye and COW Cost is negligible I have to...

30-30AI is one of the best things you can do with a 30-30 The increase in velocity is more about pressures than capacity With an AI, case life is far better at max pressure Many reloaders run the AI to levels what the gun is designed for. Reaming a Single Shot rimmed cartridge is dead...

a lot of black magic surrounding annealing I recently read an engineering doc that states the method of quenching does indeed affect brass annealing Who knows? BUT: it has been proven that factory brass occasionally enters the market fully annealed (dead soft necks) and no one seems to...

MNbogboy I understand.

so Randy, your experience disagrees with Hornady's experience? have you had pressure testing equipment comfirm this in the Fireball?

Wally, I think you have the right idea on the rechamber. I would never touch the bolt or receiver. always work on the cheapest part to replace, if you can. how many threads per inch are the receiver threads? Or MM if you have them?

I apologize, if you took offense to that. I have been perusing numerous posts on the long range accuracy stuff, to help me with some development, and I hope you continue to post, and don't "Ignore" me, in the event I have questions that you can answer.

My comment was about your first paragraph, which does not appear to be correct and is somewhat misleading regarding pressure/seating depth. I just wanted to show that others found the opposite. Now, perhaps you have done your own pressure trace tests, I don't know, but if you are just...

Hornady Ballisticians disagree with you.

can't you just pop one in the chamber and pull the trigger? you should end up close to fit, then do another fireform using COW or similar, and a suitable charge of BE.
