    Neck Turning - Inconsistent Results for a Newbie (Video)

    Hmmmmm ... I've had very good luck with the K&M systems and I have all the tools you do except I use a different case holder in the drill. I used to turn using a hand drill then migrated to a drill press. You should not see the amount of wobble you are describing but even with the wobble you...

    Neck sizing causing runout.

    That was an interesting article. I think the best thing he did was sort the brass at the very beginning and use only brass that had minimal variations in neck wall thickness. He only mentioned that in passing and did not elaborate on the benefit of screening in the text.

    Once fired brass to get shipped from US to AUS

    I was not aware brass is export controlled. Where are the regulations for that?

    I made 6mmRem from 270Win, but....

    I reform a lot of 30-06 to 25-06. I especially like the "Greek" brass with the HXP headstamp for reforms. This link shows what I do albeit I used 270 brass when I storylined the process. I tried it with and without annealing and migrated away from annealing the HXP brass. I also reform a lot...

    Try one w/o annealing and w/o the intermediate sizing step. Just do it all at once and see what you get. What headstamp brass is it?

    6.5 Creedmoor - RCBS Dies vs Hornady Match Grade New Dimension Dies

    Do you turn your case necks to a uniform thickness today? If no, you will not get an accuracy benefit from the bushing die but you may extend case life a bit. Any accuracy benefits would be attributed to NOT pulling the expander ball up through the case neck (minimizing runout) but w/o...

    For those who have done OCW testing

    I've seen exactly what the OP described. My most accurate loads come in just under max and when performing an OCW test I generally get 2 nodes, one low charge weight load, one high charge weight load. I always go with the high charge weight load.

    You might also consider a small area rug under the bench after you install leveling feet. The rugs help to self-level teh bench.

    Is lateral "stringing" only caused by poor technique?

    Something I found on the net. Didn't find a similar "article" on horizontal stringing but lots of shooting forum discussions come up when you do a search. CURES for VERTICAL STRINGING

    Is lateral "stringing" only caused by poor technique?

    Don't know that I can answer your questions but I want to follow this thread. With the Dan Newberry method, when seeking the Optimal Charge Weight you look for patterns with the lowest vertical spread at a specific powder charge. That would insinuate wind drift (horizonal dispersion) is not a...

    Redding T-7 press.

    These guys are making it too easy on you. I had the older Redding model 25 Turret Press. It was a well built machine but I couldn't warm up to the backward tilt so I sold it. Seems they eliminated that backward lean with the T7. I also have two Ultramags that I like a lot, Redding makes great...

    Getting ready for reloading -- help with equipement selection

    I went the Option 3 route many moons ago. You have to be committed to that option and realize it may take you some time to get everything you need. Of the two kits I suggest Redding. Is there a reason you omitted Lee Classic presses. I prefer them over either of the two you have listed but...

    Best way to set OAL? Lee DL seating dies

    The ogive is more consistent than the bullet length but it's still not perfect. The best you can do is use a seat die with a cupped stem to engage the ogive. Bullet seating via the ogive will give a lot more consistent performance at the shooting bench during load development. Forster and...
