How smoothly should my resized cases load into the chamber with bolt ejector removed?

I just went through a process to find the lands in my barrel, by disassembling my Savage bolt, and removing the spring loaded ejector. During this process, I realized my resized cases would not allow the bolt to fall smoothly, without interference, when testing to see if the bullet was touching the lands.

I solved that issue with some new Lapua brass, but it got me looking more closely as to whether or not my Forster full length resizing die (with interchangeable neck bushings) was actually doing anything. I put some once-shot Federal brass in the die and it doesn't appear to be resizing the body of the case at all. It is making the neck smaller and lengthening the case though.

The dimensions on the case at the top of the body, near the shoulder, and the dimensions of the case at the "web", near the case head, appear unchanged. These dimensions are still larger than the specs the Hornady book suggests the case should be. I can still get the case to load, by turning the bolt down, but it is not interference free.

Should my die be resizing the brass to the book specs or smaller, to better fit in the chamber, or do I want a pretty tight fit with the cases?

Hunting & Fishing REID & HIS DOGS

last several outings weve had a coyote run up behind us before dark or we had even started the call I think due to it hearing my dog rustling around......it let out a soft bark at my dog as I thought did I just hear that and no sooner my dog sticks her nose up as it was behind us and the wind was over my back and in her face so she barked..we never seen it only heard it do the barking within yards if us then running a ways off letting out two more then nothing..seen one in the trail on a walk out to a set but it bolted before I could even get the gun light on it.....as well we have had them howling within a few hundred yards but not show themselves...she was also sprayed by a skunk two nights ago and we had to deal with that as well…..then tonight we finally got this big boy to come out about 175 yards in some knee to waist grass to some Fox Pro come love me howls.........he then disappeared into some weeds so I hit the howls again and watched him walk into my downwind about 125 yards watched him stop for a wiff and hit him with some lead poisoning...…...I could see him bolt after the shot running south and he went about 40 yards from the shot impact point......by the time I got to the coyote Super Girl had a mouthful mauling it up....turned out to be a really big male...…next set the Coyote Light low batt light came on so I packed up a bit early and then seen eyes right after I put my pack on.....tried to regroup but he was gone before I could......either way my girl had fun and so did I!!!! :cool:

Optics TRACT TORIC 15x56 (Like New with Aziak Clamp)

$950 shipped


Price reduced $850 shipped lower 48
Paypl FF (no comments) or USPS Money Order

Like New with AZIAK Binocular "clamp" If your not familiar with the clamp, google it. These are not dusty, never used on a hunt. Only used to compare to other binoculars on a tripod. Absolutely like new and include a $35 clamp. In my opinion one of the best ways to attach binos to an Arca Swiss Tripod Head.

I'm sure if you take the clamp off (not sure why you want to), the rubberized binocular "cover" will have a depression from the clamp being attached. Just an FYI because I have this clamp on a set of other binos and they leave depressions in the rubberized coating if you take them off.

Memories of Holsters past, current and future...

1733376608428.png


I was in a discussion on another forum about how holsters tend to... accumulate I'll say. Anyway curiosity got the best of me and I pulled the G19 sized holsters out of one (and just one of the boxes/for one of the models) to illustrate the point. Surely I'm not the only one with this affliction chasing after the next "best" holster.

I might not be able to name them all but I'll try- from top to bottom/left to right let's give it a shot...

Top Row: Crossbreed Supertuck (one of the few cow leather options I have from them) & a Galco "Jackass" shoulder holster

2nd Row: Kramer horsehide IWB, a local kydex manufacturer (no longer in business) IWB, Simply Rugged Pancake, & Bianchi paddle holster of some sort.

3rd Row: Fairly sure that's a Bladetech IWB, a Raven Concealment Perun, another Bianchi model "Yaqui style", Another Bianchi (maybe a "soft tuck") and oddly enough, yet another Bianchi...

4th Row: Kirkpatrick "under cover", DeSantis something or another IWB, and a Raven Concealment Phantom...


So there's 14 there and just out of one box and for one model... I might have a problem and not even going to go through the other boxes to see what else I may have in "inventory". Anyone else have a similar problem?

What is the match fee?
$25.00 which can be paid via cash or check. All checks should be made out to Pemi Fish and Game Club.

NRL22 Update: https://nrl22.org/clubs/pemigewasset-valley-fish-game-club-inc/

Our club is listed and dates of matches! Note also there is an NRL22 e-mail I created to save the administrators some time with the general pemi e-mail box.

The Pemi NRL22 e-mail is [email protected]

Edit 2/21/2024

Tonight I filled out the contact Pemi Fish and Game Club / Contact Information so I anticipate seeing it listed on the NRL22.org site soon.

There are a lot of administrative things that happen behind the scenes and people have a lot of questions. I'd like to answer a couple of the common ones:

(1) How do I register for an NRL22 match? Registration will take place at the club on the day of the event. I know some people have strong feelings about this, practiscore and other web based systems. I'm not ruling them out but initially or until someone will handle that piece I am going to keep things simple.

(2) Can I use 'x' to compete? As long as its a 22 long rifle with a scope capable of making adjustments to engage targets at various ranges out to 100 yards then absolutely?

(3) When are the scheduled matches?

April 21st - Shakedown match - Pemi Fish and Game Members Only, unofficial (not part of the NRL 2024 Season)
May 25th
June 29th
July 27th
August 24th
September 28th
October 26th
November 23rd
December 28th

Edit 2/18/2024

It's been a while since I posted an update here. I just wanted to say things are moving along. The target package, club membership to NRL22 and most of the barricades have been ordered.

In the coming weeks I will be working on securing the consumables and material/plans to build the remaining barricades.

I've had a handful of people reach out with interest and hope to see all them at our first (non-official / shakedown) match this April. The actual NRL22 season runs May 2024 - May 2025.

Theres never been a better time to dust off your 22 lr and get back to the basics. As always, any questions please reach out.

Edit 12/7/2023

The Pemi Fish and Game Club in Holderness, NH will be hosting the monthly course of fire for NRL22!!! See dates below from 11/11/2023 (we did things a little backwards counting on it being approved so those match dates are already reserved)
