    Chamfer 6.5 CR Brass How Often

    If you tumble your brass you need to chamfer every time. Running through the tumbler (wet or dry) rolls the edge over to the inside, causing a burr to develop. Over chamfering magnifies the issue by making the edge to thin.

    Shaving copper off bullet when seating

    I have noticed that tumbling too long will leave a burr rolled over to the inside of the case mouth. same fix, VLD chamfer tool. Just do it AFTER tumbling.

    Range Report Labradar

    Are they rechargeable? The one that every one sells for the LR is, and it is only like $25. It is more than sufficient. And rechargeable.

    Range Report Labradar

    I have both. The Lab Radar pisses me off when I forget to arm it. It is not as user friendly as the MS. I miss more shots with the LR. The base is cheap and should come with the unit instead of being sold separate. Battery life sucks unless you get the separate battery pack, then it is awesome...

    6.5 PRC VS. 7 SAUM

    .130 would definitely be the way to go on a short action.

    6.5 PRC VS. 7 SAUM

    From my understanding there is only one reamer available. With out getting a custom reamer ground. I was not impressed enough to go through the hassle. Maybe I was misled or I misunderstood, but my point was purely informational to prevent the OP from making the same mistake I did. Then again...

    6.5 PRC VS. 7 SAUM

    From experience I personally would not recommend the PRC on a short action, unless the reamer was optimized for it. The Std .188 freebore reamer is not a good fit for a short action. I tore my short action PRC down to re-barrel 6.5 CM.

    Anyone ever had this happen..?

    Coming from a technical/ mechanical back ground it goes completely and totally against my grain to assemble something that is not absolutely squeaky clean. Not saying I don't see the merit of not over cleaning, because it definitely carries some weight. I just couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able...

    Mechanical rest for load development??

    I personally have never used one. Always employed the thought that if I can not take it with me in the field then why bother. I would never even use a bench at the range. Always went prone for precision, because you can't take a bench into the field. As I become wiser (not older just...

    RCBS Chargemaster.... Upgrade or Offload

    McDonalds straw! Make it long enough that it blocks off half of the square intake window in the dispenser tube of the CM. Keeps the tube from plugging up and dropping big globs of powder. Also manualy trickle up makes it more accurate. I trickle up to .1 before and then drop one kernal at a...
