    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    Sorry, I'm straight 😜🤣

    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    Hmm. So what's the secret sauce? I installed the app from the Google Play store, went to access the Advanced Toolkit, got sent back to the Play Store to pay for the extra features, and then back to the app. And... nothing. Whenever I open the app and go to the Advanced Toolkit features...

    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    According to Google, I did. Features still not available. No response from the developer for over six weeks now. Curious if anyone else has them working, or if it's just smoke-n-mirrors.

    Does anyone here have the "Advanced Toolkit" features working for this app?

    Micron Precision Dies

    No first-hand experience myself, but I did come across a post by @Changed that indicated you can use Forster or Whidden expander stems on the Micron die (same thread pitch, apparently). Whidden offers their expander plugs in a variety of sizes for a given caliber, so that should open up some...

    Product Announcement: PVA's new Universal Small Base sizing die

    Might not be a perfect solution... definitely not a cheap one... but I recently got a Micron F/L bushing sizer from Bullet Central for my 308 Win, and in addition to the usual good things about this die it also sizes the base down pretty tight. Like 0.4695" or so. Maybe you could upgrade your...

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    Mmm... still not seeing it. They still pinch *up* against the rim, which is being held *down* by the shell holder. I can see how the way the priming ram is sleeved and the head is captured would eliminate some of the slop otherwise necessary to get the case in and out of the shell holder... but...

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    We must be using the K&M very differently. I always adjusted the head so the primer would bottom out with a little room still between the lever and the body. Then squeezing it all the way home is where you get the 'crush'.

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    Guess I'm missing something, then. If I'm understanding how these things work, the Lee uses a completely different method, with a backer rod inside the case. Let's set that aside for the moment. Everything else uses a shell holder to contain/capture the case via the rim. The rim is what the...

    Do Primer Seating Methods Affect Performance?

    To be fair, *some* of us load on a Dillon. They are surprisingly consistent at priming depth - my 550 is, and from what I've heard from a couple of the more prominent YT/F-classers, theirs are as well. The question becomes whether that consistent spot is the best one for your load, or if it's...

    Do Primer Seating Methods Affect Performance?

    I think it probably depends on the level of precision you're looking for. Unless you're shooting Benchrest or maybe F-class at a very high level and looking for that extra edge... probably not. Will it hurt anything if you do go the extra mile anyway for any given precision rifle? Also...

    Excessive amount of 5.56 not passing the checker

    I ran into something similar a while back when I was loading some bulk 223 practice ammo for the local Junior HP program. Had a few rounds that would hang up or not chamber fully. I had most of the available tools for checking headspace and measuring anything I cared to. It wasn't until I...

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    I think this gets glossed over a lot when people skim the results: that he chose this particular batch of brass specifically because the rim thickness variation *was* so bad as to exacerbate the effects.

    Tidbits About Bullet Seating - Mandrels, Neck Lube, etc.

    I may have missed this somewhere along the way... but do you brush the necks at all? I'm not talking scrubbing all the carbon out, just a quick in-twist-out to knock off the rough stuff. I've tinkered with neck lubes in the past... including the various dry graphite and moly lubes. Dipping...

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    I've had a few people say that you can get the priming parts for the APP (which I already have) but I've never seen a clear road map of what all it would involve, or if it would work as well.

    Effects of rim thickness dependence on primer seating depth

    Between Bryan and F-class John making videos on the ACP, what few there were floating around in inventory seem to have gotten snapped up.

    6mm BR

    Had to start using it back in the Obama years when Varget went unobtainabium, even if you were on the US team headed to the FCWC and sponsored by Hodgdon (in theory). Started using N140 and N150 since the average muggle had never heard of Vihtavouri and whenever H4895 and Varget disappeared, I...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Looks like you're getting there... 👍 Looks a hell of a lot better than a grip that a top-name stock maker shipped me years ago.
