Hi FearNoWind, I usually sort and correct anything over .001-.002 runout, perhaps I'm not as precise as you are on runout. I think the tool is valuable for rounds over my cull limit and would be interested if you have any data to support the statement that straightening the neck affects...

Hi Squeeeeze...did I get enough ee's in there?:) I have both and prefer the Hornady to the RCBS. I like the ability to correct the runout problem with the thumbscrew on the Hornady, and I find the Hornady easy to use. The two different guages use different points of reference for measuring...

Hi All, I know this is an old thread, but did a search and found this as I have the same problem with excessive bullet runout using the RCBS Competition bullet seating die with AMAX bullets. Specifically with the .308 dia 208 AMAX I found the bullet does not fit the seating plug and the tip...

In the 300 WM, do you know who makes the brass for BHA? I have heard Winchester and Norma but nothing for sure....? Regards, Trapper458

Hi All, Will changing the muzzlebrake affect performance for load workup? I'm wondering if I should delay load workup until my new muzzlebrake arrives and I can install it on the rifle? I am not happy with the performance of the muzzlebrake that came on my Savage 111LRH in 300WM that I'm...

Hi, I've done a good bit of load development for the 6.8 SPC's I use for hunting and the 7mm/08 AR10 I also use. I use exclusively magnum primers, normally the CCI 450, CCI 41 or the Wolf 223 for the 6.8, and CCI 34's for the 7mm/08. I'm really not terribly worried about slam fires, never...

Hi, I have a similar project in mind for a 223/5.56 upper to go with the 6.8 SPC I usually hunt with. I'm planning to use the ARP 20" midweight barrel, link follows. I've used two of the ARP 6.8 SPC barrels on builds with great success, so although I may have to wait for them to be in stock...

Hello, First post here but have been reading on this forum for a good while. My main focus now is a long range capable rifle project for the hunting I do in Montana where I normally spend 1 month/year plus. I'm comfortable with our current rifles out to the 400 yd mark but want something...
