    Ways to raise velocity from established load?

    Your entirely right, that was meant to read 1/8 turn, which is the way I was taught. Thanks for keeping me straight! Wayne

    High End Die Face Off: Forester vs. Redding vs. Whidden Dies

    I’ve been using Redding bushing dies in my benchrest cartridges for about 7 years now and couldn’t be happier. I full length size and with the Redding’s and seat with Wilson dies. My runout is less than .001, and I can tell the difference. With that said, the dies I use just happen to fit brass...

    6XC Seater Stem

    The stem needs to be chucked in a lathe and bored out some with an 1/8 drill bit so you’ll have clearance for the long polymer tips Wayne

    Forester Ultra Micrometer Seating Die

    If your seating step is marring your bullets, then fix it. Take one of your bullets, chuck it up in a drill, take your stem out, put a little lapping compound on the bullet, insert in the stem and turn on the drill. In just a moment or two your stem is ground to fit your bullets to perfection...

    Mandrel expander die question

    Fortunately, your Whidden die sizes the full length of the neck. Simply run your brass through the size die, then run the case over the expander to get the proper ID for turning brass. I would add, most people turn necks on new brass so as to get the most benefit from the brass. After doing all...

    Ways to raise velocity from established load?

    Ok, first off with your once fired brass from your chamber, check to see if you can feel the slightest drag while closing the bolt on a fired case. Since the load is pretty light, chances are you can’t. So, loosen the jam nut on the decamping stem, and leave it loose. Next loosen the jam screw...

    What is the cause of this?

    In my experience, a lot of soot on the case neck is a result of low pressure. The case needs to expand to seal off the chamber, the more pressure, the faster the seal. This translates to only a portion of the neck will have soot as opposed to soot going all the way to the shoulder with a lower...

    224 predator

    I have a 22 Nosler and am not seeing the velocity that they advertise as well. Mine is in an 18" barrel, so I'm sure that has a negative effect, also as an aside, you won't load 80 grain 22 caliber bullets in the 22 Nosler, the case is too long, so they won't fit in an AR magazine. Wayne

    80gr Nosler Custom Comp for 223Rem / Only Load data for 5.56x45

    The Nosler 80 cc bullets are not a factory 223 offering. That's because .223 throats are not designed for bullets that long. Standard 223 chambers were throated for lighter bullets and the barrels, generally had slower twist. If you have a custom chamber with a fast twist barrel, then you should...

    6.5 Grendel

    AR-comp, cfe-223, and tac are good choices, just remember to use small rifle magnum primers because your working on the far end of what a srp will ignite consistently. If you doubt this, try both over a chronograph and see which one offers the smallest SDs with any given load. Wayne

    Best way to measure neck wall thickness?

    Your best neck wall measurements will be done with an empty case and a tubing micrometer. Measuring with a bullet seated is your next best and should be done with a micrometer so that you can read down to the tenth, that's .0001. Wayne

    Help.

    A very good, concise post. And perhaps as good advice as I've seen given on this subject. I'd like to re-iterate, that nothing gets better if the barrel, action, stock, trigger, scope, SHOOTER... are not up to it. I'm not trying to be mean, but this is a stock rifle and they can be very...
