    Primer seating

    Ok thanks for the info and that leads to a couple more questions. 1. When seating, I feel them go in and then kind of stop and then go a little more. I would assume that's the crush you are talking about? 2. Which pp uniformer? 21st century looks good with its adjustability. 3. Can the ones...

    Primer seating

    Yes the cps bench model Hornady brass pocket depth I measure to be .127 +/- .002 Federal Gmm large primers thickness i measure is .127 They feel seated and seem to be flush or slightly protruding. I did set it deeper but dont gain any and I dont really want to force it harder.

    Primer seating

    I'm just starting to seat primers for the first time with new Hornady brass and FGMM large primers on a primal rights seater. I cannot seem to get most of them below flush. I have the occasional .002 deep and the occasional protruding slightly. Measuring the pockets they seem to be about the...

    Help with Wet Tumbling

    How many 6.5cm cases can you wash at a time in the bigger Frankford Arsenal tumbler?? I was messing around washing some dirty gritty ones (no ss media) up before starting reloading. First batch was 300 about 1/2 full, had lots of tumbling, 2nd load was 600,pretty much full and was much quieter...

    6.5cm sammi specs vs my actuals

    Got it, and now have a better understanding of it. I will get all my measurements written down and put them in my data book.

    6.5cm sammi specs vs my actuals

    Thank you for the informative post, I hadn't considered needing to measure an accurate known headspace gauge to know how close your comparator is but that makes sense. Thanks again for the help.

    6.5cm sammi specs vs my actuals

    Yeah, I understand that for reloading measure my stuff and taylor the reload to it. This is a barrel from the PVA Nucleus preorder that I thought were all cut to sammi specs yet it seems to be slightly smaller?? I'm not complaining just trying to learn and understand headspace numbers and...

    6.5cm sammi specs vs my actuals

    I'm another reloading newbie and am just curious as to why my numbers are smaller than the sammi specs. I'm measuring with a forster datum tool on the 400 setting and decapped. New Hornady brass measures 1.53 My once fired factory Hornady measures 1.5360-1.5365 Sammi cartridge specs...

    Nucleus Build Pictures

    I'm running the 16# spring yet, TT special, and have had a 2 rounds not firing in 1500rds. After talking with a guy who's been running one all year with federal ar srps and the 16# spring I wonder if the TT sear is a little too high and has a very slight amount of drag. He runs a bix and they...

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    Thanks for all the help. I didnt think to go a little larger on my current manners and it's pretty tight and carbon lined so not sure I should mess with it but no accuracy issues with it. I think I will probably end up going mtu or heavy palma channel as that's probably as heavy as I would...

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    No you dont need to measure it. I'll just measure my barrel at the end of my stock and have a pretty close number. Yeah I'm sure it looks bigger in the close up than in person when your actually looking for it.

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    Thanks BCX, I appreciate pics. Marksman was what I was thinking of going with so that's a good view of what it would look like. Looks like a fair amount of gap but you make a good point on getting more air around it for cooling

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    Thanks rob! That's not too bad. Did you have to order anything specific to get the palma to fit in the MTU channel since the 1.25 shank is slightly longer with a palma contour?

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    Yeah that's true, I've got one now that in med Palma that I may send back to have opened up to heavy palma since there seems to be more prefit options in the slightly heavier marksman contour. Heavy palma was what I was planning this new one on but just thought if it didn't look terrible in a...

    Manners barrel channel picture.

    Anybody have pictures of a Manners with a straight barrel channel with medium palma barrel in it? Ive been running a medium Palma barrel and I'm trying to decide on what barrel channel to do on a new stock. Not sure if I want to stay with a Palma channel or open it up just in case I would want...
