BTW… buy some LC or LC match brass for semi-handloads. It’s really rigged brass and made for semi- and full-auto use.

Save the Hornady for your bolt guns!

Use LC brass, and more moderate loads. The small improvement in consistency with good brass like Lapua/Alpha/etc is lost in the noise of a semi auto.

LC brass is much more durable, especially in the case head. Even without a small (high pressure) firing pin, I have fired LC brass up to 10 times in a LR-308. Hotter loads would still crater the primer a bit, but I never blanked one.

Service rifle load data is your friend. Plan for velocities around 75-125 fps less than a bolt gun of the same barrel length.

I have never used a small base die. Just a generic RCBS full length die has always proven adequate, and does not overwork the brass. This may depend on your exact chamber.

Erik Prince PMC (aka Blackwater) heading to Haiti to exterminate the gangs. That will be some interesting video once it comes out. Probably a few here will be signing on.

The $$$ is coming from somewhere. That shit ain’t free bro.

One of my Dillon 1050 case feeders has a tired motor. Can anyone help with a current McMaster Carr part number? Or a reasonable alternative replacement.

The only McMaster Carr part number I can google dates back to 2019.

Sending PM. IWTT.

ELEY Flat Nose Ammunition In Vudoo V22 Magazine

There has been a lot of chatter about ELEY vs the Lapua family of ammunition being used in the Vudoo rifle. Truth is the Vudoo will shoot any match ammo just fine and the real issue is reliable feeding of flat nose ammunition out of the standard Vudoo magazine.

I run voodoo mags and shoot Eley.

I seen that post of his I just wonder if I could try a R700 style wraparound action wrench
