Yes sir, I agree 100%. So far chucking the case up in a Wilson case trimmer is definitely sounding like the #1 candidate for sure. I actually just ordered mine last night to give it a try. @Rich Coyle's post was exactly the data I was looking for to support my theory. I knew I couldn't be the...

I'm sorry about my snarky response, but it is not my common practice to load over pressure by any means. It happens for me typically when I'm running up through an OCW test. But I've also found myself in a good node in cold weather previously and the next time I shoot may be in hotter Temps and...

For the 43rd time now, yes, I was overpressure. That was never the question here, but thank you. The question is about truing up headstamps on case that are still very much so usable, i.e. no loose primer pockets, no stretching in the web area, primer didn't explode out of the case and my bolt...

T THIS. THIS EXACTLY. Thank you! This is exactly the information I was reaching for. Measurable data supporting the theory that any variance in case headstamp imperfection can produce wide varying groups if not corrected. Thank you for this data.

We do so-so on them. I'd be lying to you if I said we hammered them, but they are definitely in there. There's a few deep pools that they seem to hold up in on the stretch I like to run. But even in those holes, I mark a bunch but don't get much action. My best luck is running crank baits...

I am. I'm over in Dorrance. About 15-20 minutes from Nescopeck, but I head that direction very frequently to fish the Susquehanna and waterfowl hunt the islands. Are you local?

I use the same method of hand priming to catch loose primers as well. As for the decapping method I use a short arm Lee press solely for decapping. Due to its low mechanical advantage, it gives a pretty good feel for primer tightness. I really appreciate everybody's concern for safety here, and...

Thank you all for the responses. I got the wide array of responses that I figured I would. I have always reloaded over my previous ejector marks and fired them until they became loose in the primer pocket without any issues. Been doing it for years, but for whatever reason I started to fixate on...

Sorry, I guess my wording could've been better. I'm not looking for the cause of pressure, I know I was loaded a little hot. My question is now that there is a raised ejector mark on my headstamp, are you guys sanding them flat before reloading or just reloading and firing them? I would have to...

I have a some brass that I have fireformed for my rifle and shot twice prior to this round. I found myself on the edge of pressure and ended up with some fairly deep ejector marks and swipes. In the past I just reload them again and keep on hammering, but I would have to think that this would...

I'm sorry guys, I got hung up on a pre-fit barrel in which I would need to know the thread. Not just a barrel blank which will be cut by the smith. As i said before, just me being dense again lol sorry for the waste of time, but if anybody does know the pitch still, it would be nice to know for...

It measures it at 1.162" shank diameter in front of the recoil lug, but that doesn't tell me anything about the thread pitch. Wouldn't that change with the profile of the barrel as the manufacturer sees fit?Unless I'm just dense haha. The only thread pitch figures I can find are for the muzzle...

Hello all, can anybody shed some light as to what thread pitch the barrel to receiver threads are on a Browning X-bolt? Looking to rebarrel a 7 Mag of mine with a stainless barrel to a Proof Carbon 30 Nosler and I can't seem to find the thread pitch listed anywhere online that the X bolt uses. I...

Yeah I ordered 100 pieces last night from Creedmoor Sports. I for sure would've gone with ADG right off the bat if I could have found it a month ago. I use it for my 7 mag and love it

Good thing to hit on. I chased my shoulder length after each firing, and only had one piece out of the lot with this issue- but I could definitely see how that would lead to major headaches. Thank you
