    Annealling?

    The cheapest you can go is a hand torch and anneal by hand. There's Plenty of methods on this and it's worked for a long time. 50 bucks or less to do that. Next level is automation makes it a lot easier and to a degree more consistent. That's going to be in the 275-600 range then you have the...

    Lube TiN Mandrel while Neck Turning??

    Lube never hurts an operation. Just because it has a lower friction coefficient doesn't mean you stack odds against you.

    Full length size vs neck sizing for precision

    When you shoot virgin brass, you're going to lose some velocity but with proper load development you should still be able to get in your node window. i would fine tune it with the once fired. as far as FL vs neck sizing goes, it's your call. Eventually you WILL have to body size (other half of...

    Hornady ELD-X

    You're gonna need a VLD stem from Redding OR you can polish up your current one. thats what I did; took some polishing compound, chuck it to a drill, then cleaned up with 0000 steel wool. No rings, no sticks and consistent seating now

    Looking for that right bullet

    gonna have to plug and play with #'s in a ballistic calculator but it's gonna be hard to match realistic velocities as you'd need barrel length. an 18.5" 308 expect 1000 yards to be your max limit. that being said 168's are out; bullet design does weird things at transonic ranges. 155...

    What's more important.....

    Inside neck diameter use a ball or mandrel to even out inside neck so it's concentric to the bullet. Use proper bushings and you won't need to neck turn. Neck turn if you take out expander balls so your bushing size your necks evenly. Neck turning is useful if you WANT uniform necks and...

    Distance to the lands

    Different bullets = different profiles. on top of that, each lot may be slightly different so ALWAYS check each box. distance to the lands is always checked when you do the following: every 500 rounds (my rule) each new box of bullets (regardless of same lot) in Hornady for example, there...

    Funnels and You

    Kill her before she kills you then. Ive used an rcbs funnel for years until I upgraded to the area 419 kit.it is expensive; would've been cheaper for me if I just bought caliber specific funnels like mentioned above. But the 419 kit offers a lot more versatility and the stackable drop tubes...
