    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Was actually pushing the 18" ARC. Does really well to 1100...1200 not so much Goal with the ARC was to replace my Grendels while adding a 6mm to the stable as I didn't yet have one. Since I live and shoot in Utah and surrounding areas, temperature swings are huge and I dislike temp...

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Anecdotally - when I started reloading 6 or so years ago (I'm 41 and started when my father gave me his old scale and press - decided I had to earn the privilege and started reading and studying up) I only loaded for bolt rifle chamberings. I measured all kinds of things for my rifles then and...

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    I may have missed intent somewhere - skim read posts before my son's baptism and saw some strong assumptions/words. Thought they were directed at me. :) Regardless - I do appreciate advice and look forward to studying up on headspace/etc.

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Appreciate the thoughtful replies. I'm very interested to learn from others on this as I have 3 rifles with JP BCG (VMOS, and 2 LMOS) each with Proof Carbon barrels for which I've experienced identical case "stickage", but only after switching to the Coax. Two 6.5 Creedmoors and one 6mm ARC...

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Wow - just read the entire thread. Guess guys like me who are learning what they can aren't too welcome (I shoot some PRS and am an enthusiast who runs maybe $150k in rifles/pistols/suppressors). Am I a "retard" for not knowing what you know? Would you be a retard if you didn't know core...

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Ha! Ran 3 through with a cam over and voila. Fixed. I always set them up with cam over on my old RCBS but didn't for some reason on the Coax. Changing all sizing dies now... Thanks Gents!

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    I don't think any of my semi auto cases will consistently rechamber due to what you described - especially since I run suppressed and higher pressure rounds like ARC and Creedmoor.

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Tried 3 spent cases from today. Results: 1 went in and out cleanly 1 went in and stuck (bolt wouldn't go in battery) but came out with quite a bit of force 1 went in and stuck, then had to be mortared out with dowel and mallet. I think we're on the right track here as I shoot suppressed 100%...

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    Interesting - since I'm sitting here I tried turning the die 180 degrees and it changed them from hopeless to tough, but possible. What small base die do you recommend? All my other dies are RCBS - start there?

    HELP!! 6mm ARC cases stuck after sizing?

    About 40% of my resized cases stick hopelessly in the chamber of my rifle and I have to mortar them out with a mallet and wooden dowel. Same result in two separate rifles with different manufactured parts. I've resized one piece 3 times to confirm that I didn't short stroke. Sticks after every...

    Proof or WOA for 223 SPR/Varmint 20" 1:8 Barrel?

    Last trip to P-town I used a 16" 5.56 with 75 bthp and a 26" Desert Tech with 140s traveling 2820 fps. At 400 yards the Desert Tech was absoltuely stunning from an accuracy perspective, but no exposions - only big flips (which were a riot). With this one, I'm liking the idea of versatility and...

    Proof or WOA for 223 SPR/Varmint 20" 1:8 Barrel?

    Talking with WOA yesterday, they mentioned they use PacNor blanks for their 20 Practical barrels. Not sure which blanks they use for 223 wylde - maybe wilson?

    Proof or WOA for 223 SPR/Varmint 20" 1:8 Barrel?

    I had decided on the Predator or Varmint profile with WOA - think the SPR is heavy enough for the P-dogs and strings of fire there?
