    Load Development: Bolt vs. Semi

    I am starting load development for a GAP-10 this week. What tips, tricks, or differences do you have for load development in a semi versus a bolt action? Also, how do you manage an adjustable gas block to maintain the range of powder charges used during load development? ​​

    Wet Tumbling; how do you separate brass and stainless pins?

    I pick my brass out of the tumbler manually making sure I give it a couple taps on the inside of the tumbler to get the pins out. I then dump the dirty water and media into a Home Depot bucket where I carefully rinse the pins and drain the water. I use a Papa John's pizza fridge magnet to catch...

    6.5 Creemoor w/ 140gr Berger Hybrid Starting load?

    The Berger manual is a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend picking one up. COAL=2.800". Start at 36.5 grains of H4350 and work up from there. Max is going to be 40.7.

    Getting Set Up - Beginner

    I am starting on a Forster Co-Ax single stage press. I'm just starting out myself and so far I really like it. I've also been using the built in priming station and have had good results so far.

    What size bushing for Hornady 6.5cm brass?

    Thanks, Darkside-Six . Are the rounds you make with the .288 bushing used in a semi-auto platform?

    What size bushing for Hornady 6.5cm brass?

    What size bushing are you guys using in your Redding die when reloading Hornady brass for 6.5cm? I don't have any brass or loaded rounds to measure in order to determine the proper size. I currently only have a .289 bushing and I believe that will be too big. This for a large frame AR so I'm...

    Variances in shoulder set back..

    I was spinning the cases while measuring which is when I would see the fluctuation. That is when I started to suspect that the case rims were warped. They aren't extremely warped but definitely enough to be giving me my .001" variance. I am going to order some new brass, along with the Hornady...

    Variances in shoulder set back..

    I think I'm gonna pick up a box or two of Norma brass. My OCD won't allow me to sleep knowing I loaded up cases with warped/bent case rims lol. I'm fairly certain that will eliminate the variance I am seeing on my calipers.

    Variances in shoulder set back..

    Yes, they do. I took one case that measured 1.578" and manually placed it into the chamber and closed the bolt using the bolt release button. It closed completely. My main concern now is the effect the warped rims will have on accuracy.
