YES all Stainless Steel "rust" . Its called pacification, its the ability of most stainless steels to 'oxidize' aka rust as you say to create a surface barrier to prevent corrosion . There are issues as which alloy is being used as most American barrels are 416R and some Europeans use 17-4 PH ...

Its that carbon that makes the difference when it builds up inside the case , it goes some where when its fired .. down the barrel ...

One of the problems with walnut hulls is you'll need a polishing compound to sine and clean the brass . That polish stays on the case and that goes down the barrel ! This is why I went SS liquid it leaves the brass clean and all carbon is removed , AND if you use the right sizing lube that...

Cold welding has always been a bad power issue for me . I've had corrosion between the bullet and the case and always the powder has degraded which has caused the problem

Do them in a 1.5 gallon Lapatone , and they will be fine .

I shot ammo that had been loaded and stored for a year in a warm and dry environment that I would not normally have kept for a registered match. I ended using when I came back to the US for a competition in an approved match @ 500 yards at Camp Atterbury. That is the ammo that I shot a 200-20...

What is the problem I can get you through it , just ask .

I'm one of the first to use SS pins on cases. That goes back to the Mid 1980's. In the years that followed I won 5 US national rifle event set numerous national records and have one if not the most number of wins in NZ . Here are the facts . I use a Lortone 1.5 gallon rock tumbler their on the...

I have this problem with Kiwis , ahh my brass doesn't fit the chamber you did , da da da. Yea because you only neck sized your cases , dude !

NOTE: they make Magnum primers for a VERY good reason. Double base powders esp ball powders are hard to get burning and when using 'most' standard primers in magnum size cases quite often will end up with big velocity variations , even at 70F. Part of the CIP proof testing for non standard...

I have switched lots of Varget . ADI 2208 and destroyed cases , way too much variation from one lot to the next, Palma shooters know this ! I hate ADI powders because of this they have PP QC in Ozzy. Some one raised the issue of using Lapua or Norma Brass and it not fitting in the chamber that...

This is a problem when you use a very slow powder in cold temperatures and the primer does not have enough guts to get the burn going as needed. Next you can see how well the Remington held up , you should think Remington for that and the fact that you still had the original extractor in, if...

Mausingfield Are you serious they took all the worst features of the Mauser and Springfield and made a new action , duh ! Control feed is NOT a good system even if you have the extractor claw modified to pass over a round in the chamber, it breaks extractors just look at the Brno ZZK's , Mausers...
