    Under sized 308 brass

    Years ago when I got started into reloading I bought a Lyman case gauge and started to crank out hundreds of Lake City 308 brass. I put several hundred rounds through my Remington 700 without any problems. One day at the range I had a case head separation and alarm bells started going off in...

Better take plenty of patches and...

    got a new dpms g2 hunter on it's way. couple questions

    Went by Buds and picked up my G-2 hunter yesterday. It will be several weeks before I can get to a range to put it to the test. My initial impression, this is one well built rifle. The ergonomics are great. This is one damn fine looking rifle.

    contaminated brass

    Rinse your brass in a bucket of water with Lima Shine in the rinse water. Take brass out of water and the roll on a towel to pat dry. I then put in oven at 175 for 1/2 hour to dry.

    .308 shoulder bumped back to far

    I just measured another box of brass that I had stored away. This brass is measuring 1.623, .007 below minimum. I am going to load and fire these through my bolt gun and use the paper clip method to check for case bulge. If no bulges I will keep this brass.

    .308 shoulder bumped back to far

    I set up my Hornady dies on my Dillon 550 to re size my once fired LC .308 cases. I followed the die instructions, re sized 500 cases. While shooting these cases at the range I had two headcase separations. Bought the RCBS precision mic to get a precise measurement on my case head space. My...

    Guys with SS media cleaners...

    Re: Guys with SS media cleaners... I run the cases through walnut media in my vibrator tumbler then deprime, resize, trim and swage. After all that then I run them through the SS treatment.
