    7-300 PRC Initial Results - Winner

    We havent had a ton of time to compare but I think he said hes running 180s at 3070 with 76gn. I forgot to ask what powder and if it was a hot load or not and dont know what the total case capacity is. Sorry I know that's not a good equal comparison or answer. I'm also still doing testing on...

    6.5prc and 300prc are completely different cases. Common misconception

    Yeah they are right now although I know others are considering. I'd like to see Peterson make some. Agree on 5 firings but it's a decent sized case and the dies are crap so theres a few different contributors.

    If you're using hornady dies my guess is they are the problem. The ones I have dont seem to size amywhere near enough

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    +1 Exactly, And its not that its "Too Short" Its just a bit shorter than the saami spec the dies are designed around.

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Didn't realize they had a shellholder conversion. I may have to look into that. I'd rather they create their own shellholder jaws in different thicknesses instead of current shellholders. I like the auto open and it makes knocking brass out and into a box very easy and quick.

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Im now resizing on a forster which doesnt use shell holders. I single stage my match ammo. The dillon is for training and pistol ammo. Explain to me how removing material from the bottom of a die increases headspace. Comp shell holders can go thinner than normal shell holders, thus bumping the...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    I only anneal every 2-3 firings. I trim on a giraud every loading My reloading process is: For fired brass, Decap, stainless tumble, lube/resize, corn cob tumble to clean lube off, trim on giraud, prime, powder, seat bullet.

    Sorry, Should have been more clear. All of my brass is fired and after every firing they measure identical.

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Quit getting cranky and lets stay on track here. 1. I understand geometry quite well and even if something is crooked, Im using an independent device (the die) to push the shoulder back. What your saying is like saying I cant balance a tire on a tirebalanceing maching because I dont know if it...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    You act like Im just not listening. Im not new to reloading, precision reloading, shooting or the like. Im trying to keep things on topic here that make sense. Threads get derailed in a heartbeat around here more times than not, there is more mis-information than valid information. Im measuring...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    They rechamber when they bump back, they rechamber tight when the shoulder moves fwd. I didn't answer this because I guess I didn't see where it had anything to not being able to use the die to bump. For me it's about consistancy and if I can't bump them they way I want it doesn't matter if they...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    I can see lube causing issues by creating dented shoulders using too much lube (Been there, done that) etc but it shouldnt have anything to do with pushing the shoulders forward and not being able to bump them.

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Yes I agree, the FL die will push the shoulder forward which if the die is longer than it should be, then it will prevent you from bumping the shoulder due to bottoming out on the shell holder, i.e. you resize, die bottoms out but shoulder of brass doesnt reach the shoulder inside the die...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Type S Bushing Full Length Die. Like I said, i have more than one that is long in length and you cant bump the brass without bumping it at least 5 thouh. The die is definitely too long IMO. Now if you had competition shell holders you could make up for it but thats not an option on a dillon or...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else has noticed this. So I run the Redding Comp Bushing dies. Ive noticed that if I set them up to just bump the shoulder 2-3 thou that if I go back and measure my all my brass after I resize, I will get some that resize correctly but...
