    What is my Brass telling me?

    So that is a question I had which it did seem like more than normal stretch. The fired Peterson will fall directly into the chamber without me pushing it in. It will not fall out on it's own with I flip the open chamber muzzle up for it to fall out. I did not measure body diameter from virgin to...

    What is my Brass telling me?

    Might be distance to the lands. I know that can cause pressure if their close. Also that is one common thing in all my loads but I'm over 30 thou off. Maybe I should go further away. As far at lot, it's looking like par for the course compared to literally everyone else on this forum. If...

    What is my Brass telling me?

    Yes I am an absolute freak about these things to the point that I went out and bought a Hawkeye. Also I wet tumble and dry to remove lube, then give 2 days to dry before I even attempt to do more steps in the brass prepping process. And yea I know wet brass or chamber can give a false positive.

    What is my Brass telling me?

    Yeah pretty easy to tell some didn't read my words. I'm cool with cleaning it again although it look pristine clean from my bore scope. Basically didn't even see copper in there. Whis I could get a pic of that.

    What is my Brass telling me?

    This post is basically for the exact opposite. Manufacturer starting load, 77.0 gr of N565 (VV), I am seeing faint pressure signs there. Seems odd. Compared to most guys pet load in this config, their all at 84-87gr of H1000 and I am at 82.2gr. Given the same bullet I am 100-200fps slower with...

    What is my Brass telling me?

    Wasn't very clear in the OP. I had already done some OCW before all this with SMK 230 (all with same seating depth) but without labradar. Also had some success during that first round of OCW so the Peterson SMK batch was to test seating depth because I liked my charge although it's low compared...

    What is my Brass telling me?

    I cleaned it when it was new at 20rounds. Haven't cleaned it since. It's at 145 rounds right now. Just put this through it and it looks perfect.

    What is my Brass telling me?

    So shooting a new rifle and I am noticing pressure signs early I think. I shot roughly my 100th to 145th rounds (45 rounds total) yesterday and grabbed some data. Basically these are conservative loads yet I am seeing slight ejector swipes. Virgin Peterson, base to shoulder is stretching .013...

    What Neck Tension Bushing?

    Hey Guys, I know neck tension is a complex subject but for simple purposes, how many thou under (outer loaded neck diameter) are you using? Let’s assume the brass is annealed and you’re not doing any neck turning. This is for a bolt 300NM cadex. Also curious what you’re using for 6.5CM...

    What tool do I need?

    Hey guys, I have new virgin prepped brass ready to load up. I then shoot it and it is now fired formed to my chamber (bolt gun). I want to measure the stretch. What do I need? Isn't this a tool that clamps onto my caliper? And doesn't it indicate off the shoulder? Thank you!

    Need a Bi-pod with Solid Cant Lockout

    I'm gonna go ahead and let yall know how petty I am but I didn't really like the look of it. Plus I like that I can swap this scal onto something else if I want to. All my long range rigs are pic mount for bipod. Unfortunately for my bank account, I have a lot of rigs.
