    Golfers Elbow

    Re: Golfers Elbow I was plagued with the "elbow" for years which was exacerbated by drawing a Para 1911 out of a holster in speed matches and practice. I finally read somewhere that if you sleep with your arms pulled in tight to your body it would stress the tendon in the elbow. The...

    Neck sizeing vs. full length?

    Re: Neck sizeing vs. full length? I use my rifle's chamber dictate how much I size the case. I adjust the die to the point where the bolt just closes with no resistance. These settings change the more the brass is shot so the sizing die may have to be re-adjusted as the brass work hardens...

    Turning the necks...

    Re: Turning the necks... nauta; The lee collet die does a great job neck sizing and should work great with Laupa brass. What it doesn’t do is set back the shoulder which is beneficial for consistency and easy chambering. The Redding Type S FL bushing die allows you to control the neck...

    Jackets from brass

    Re: Jackets from brass I did quite a bit of experimenting with this years ago. I used the Corbin 22 LR jacket maker and cast cores using the Corbin core mold. They can be made in a variety of weights and with or without exposed lead tips. They are very fragile and will disintegrate upon...

    Neck Sizing.....Bushing Dies vs Collet Dies

    Re: Neck Sizing.....Bushing Dies vs Collet Dies I sometimes double up the Lee collet NS die with a Redding body die to get a more consistent chamber fit. Runout is good too.

    Hornady OAL Guage accuracy

    Re: Hornady OAL Guage accuracy When you press the bullet forward and it touches the rifling there is about a +- .010 depending on how much pressure you put on the bullet. I usually press firmly and subtract .010" to put the bullet somewhat "on" the lands.

    casting help

    Case neck turning?

    Re: Case neck turning? Once again, the only advantage to turning necks on cases used in standard chambers is when you are using bushing dies to size the necks. A concentric OD is necessary for a concentric ID. If you use a Redding S type FL bushing die with the expander ball then you have...

    Case neck turning?

    Re: Case neck turning? I think the only possible reason to neck turn thin wall cases would be if you were using a bushing neck sizer and no expander ball. A clean up turn (about 60%) would keep the ID more concentric.
