300WM no doubt! To me there is a really Creedmoor hype going on. I shoot everything with 300WM even the small roedeer and also the over 200pound wild boar without any problem and distance isn’t a problem. Bulletselection is important and if recoil is a matter: a strait Hogue stock will help a lot.

I used Templac. And a own made annealer. Have not the idea that timing is wrong. I guess the difference is as already mentioned that I have a to small flame and am to far on the outside of the neck, i should burn more to the schoulder i guess.

Is it better to lube everything with redding wax? I use dry lube in the neck area beacause it is easy to brush it out after sizing

I always recap before cleaning with a decapdie. After cleaning the brass I size. I check the necks to be clean. I use redding size wax for the case and grafite (dry lube / powder) for the necks.

Thanks Guys. This is of a Great help. And indeed did 200pcs of new Lapua brass whit this die and since then it has happend. Never to old to learn.

hi who can advise me in following problem: 30-06 Forster FL die at first i got Nice and smooth cases and casenecks out of this die. Now after a 400 cases the necks are unsmooth, ribbeling (See picture). I polished (with polishpaste) and cleaned the expander as wel as I cleaned the die inside...

hi. I made a annealer with a pencil torch. I have the feeling the annealing went totally wrong only till the half of the shoulder is a colour change. Who can help me and tell me if they are ok or not. See picture. If it is done wrong; can I do it again now before these cases have been fired?

HiKyle can you tell me what your bulletjump is? hi Kyle. Can you tell me what your bulletjump is? Gr

hello, I tried several loads. The best till now is: RWS brass CCI400 primer 12grain (compressed) lil‘gun Bulletjump 0,039“ 35gr NTX bullet Still have 3“ groupings Brass very nice uniformed, lengthend etc. What is wrong. Is it the bulletjump, guess?? Maybe to little as for Barnes bullets I need...

Hi. I read somewhere that benchrest shooters do trim the cartridges before they neck size them. Is this tru? I do that now but still see after sizing that there is a slight difference in some cartridges. Or am I doing it in the wrong order and must be trimming after necksize? I am scared to ruin...

Ok guys here an update: I found out that my gun has a twist of 1-14" so what's the problem, the bullet is to long sized for my barrel to get it stabilised. So conclusion is that leadfree for this barrel will be always difficult because to get Mass in leadfree they need to make bullets longer...

Well experimenting some time now, different loads and different bulletjump's no accuracy that's acceptable. If there are some suggestions, please be welcome! Maybe my gun never will be accepting the ttsx-bullets.

I have caliber 5,6x50Rmag. This is almost identical to .223. But then with a little more casevolume. Actually the casevolume is 33,9grain H2O. So I tried different loads from 24 till 28gr of Benchmark behind a 50grain TTSX bullet. I tried different bulletjump from 0.02 till 0.5. Till now the...

Hi, the gun is scoped, and sighted in at 100meter. The cartridge is between a .223 and .22-250 so a very fast cartridge. Gr mark

Hi Matt, can believe that by a big load difference but not by 0,5grains...and then 10" lower? gr Mark
