Hi lone hunter, my rem brass measures .337 may not be dead accurate only using vernier caliper not micrometer. Are you using the expander ball, as far as lube i tried graphite,oneshot and ballistol all work with other dies rcbs,lee may have to try the imperial wax. I will get a .336 and try...

Gday I use the 90gr sierra in my tikka t3 270 and at 3.200 oal it was getting rifling marks on projectile after using a oal gauge it was 2.275 at the orgive and my oal cartridge length was actualy3.183 on the lands. So I seated them at 3.170 oal had them loaded with 60gr of ar2209/h4350 and...

redding s type match,nitrate bushes 334-335 for 308win. I had hard lift on press when squaring up necks on new brass due to the fact brass gets banged up in the bags. Brass was remington and yes used lube when squaring necks then read remove expander ball thought I was good to go. Loaded them...

Gday guys, I had some problems awhile back neck sizing my new brass had to do some serious handle pushing so thought this is no good so did some searching on the highway of information and came up with removing expander ball yes alls good so I thought. Time to trim brass run through neck...

Hi Trebark, I do use it as you explained and have done with all my rifles with no problems so as I started second guessing myself I took it to the gunsmith just to get a comparison he used all my equipment. He used my OAL gauge first and could feel the first resistance that I usually use as my...

It was same type of projectile not the same one I used in the first measurement but came up the same as first measurement 2.945 on the orgive. Then did it again until assumed contact on the lands but this time I just pressed a bit harder not much at all and the projectile just fell in about 80...

I have tikka 270 laminated stock that shoots tight the only time I had issues with this rifle was when I removed stock to put lanol grease on recoil lug to stop corrosion from the alloy on stainless contact. IT took me some time but it was action screw tension ended up liking 30 inch lbs. I have...

Hi guys, went for a shoot at the range with handloads some promise with 90gr and 91gr AR2225 two touching one left of POI with both loads the 90gr load the third shot is about inch left and down the 91gr load is about 1cm left and down. SO im thinking some tweaking is in order so back home...

Cheers guys, thanks for the reply sounds like the vld is worth a shot I finish sorting the sst out first then give the vld a go. schwabdog do you mind me asking what sort of velocity are you gettinng with your tikka lite with the vld and the sst as im chasing about 2900fps if I can have got...

Hi Guys, Interesting little debate here I was wanting to purchase a savage 12 lpv 1.9 twist after talking to my gunsmith he sais go for it he loves them he himself is a benchshooter so they must be ok. Now in saying this I use sako 22-250 shoots in the 2s lovely rifle. I also shoot a tikka t3...

Thanks guys EuroOptics will supply to Australia as long as licence is approved by the goverment its a costly process but thats the way it goes. I could get one from Newzealand but would have to pay $1000 more than purchase price in the US. Cheers. Rumball
