[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 211295, member: 376"] Right now I'm kind of flying blind as far as seating depth... doing the old-fashioned method of seat long w/ a fair amount of neck tension and polish the bullet up real shiny, chamber it and look for rifling marks w/ a magnifying glass. Definitely not my preferred way to fly! Should have a tap to make my own modified case for the Stoney Point tool in the next couple days (one of the nice things about living 1-2 days by USPS from Russ Haydon's Shooter Supply!) and then I can do things right. Until then I'm mostly just putzing around w/ the left-over brass from that Lapua factory ammo I had setting around. Experimenting w/ case annealing using the Hornady annealing kit - trying to figure out how long to hold the case in the flame w/o having to use the blasted TempiLaq every time - the dang stuff works, but when it changes it basically dries on harder than the hubs of hell - i.e. 'lacquer' and won't come off short of chiseling w/ a screwdriver!! Might have to see if some appropriate lacquer solvent will take it off. More 'experimenting' to keep me busy. :D The annealing seems to make a noticeable difference in getting the neck tension to behave and act properly... 'Officially' this gun is 'for the wife'... me being a salty F/TR type and all that gun) but having seen Chris and yourself tune up on folks w/ those Dashers, I have high hopes for it. I'll certainly have to 'test drive' it from time to time to make sure it's working okay for her... :rolleyes: Definitely need to send the bolt off to Gre-Tan to get the firing pin bushed - got a pretty good crater going on the primer; little to no pressure sign otherwise. Had the same problem on a couple 6mm BRs - one Savage and one Remington - cratered primers even on moderate loads. Got the pin bushed, problem solved. [/QUOTE]
