    New Leica Rangemaster 2800.com & Kestrel with Applied Ballitsics

    Thanks. I got it to work. I see that there is a wind capture feature in the Target Card so you can change all of the outputs to match current wind. It also looks like if you change the environmentals, it will alter the outputs in the range card as well.

    New Leica Rangemaster 2800.com & Kestrel with Applied Ballitsics

    It’s called Leica Hunting in apple store. U update through that. For those of you getting the target card to work, what FW are you using? I couldn’t get 28.18 to do it.

    How long can you seat a bullet and still be able to feed from a standard mag?

    After doing the above, get .001" neck constriction. That's less than I'm used to having but the bullet does seem to be seating with adequate pressure.

    I thought so. I'm probably following Pat's initial instructions too literally.

    Neck tension question: .264 bullet diam.) + .030" (.015" x 2 neck thickness) = .294 (finish cartridge neck). I confirmed this by measuring a loaded round as well. Using a .295 bushing that only gives me .001" neck tension. Isn't that too light? BTW, I solved the problem of the flared case mouth...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    Thanks. Did you have to special order the Comp. neck sizer. It sounds like the 6.5 saum dies that Redding has won't work with the new reamer. SPAK said, "The full length die was made to spec for the .298" neck so it can't be used with the new reamer for adequate sizing." Also, the 7mm RSAUM has...

    Thanks for the info on the die and the new reamer. I suspected I was ok with turning down onto the unsized portion.

    I just called Redding to get some more information about the 2 problems. Their answer runs contrary to the information that has been posted here. I'm not trying to stir up a hornets nest and I realize that there is more than one way of doing things. I just want to pass on what they suggest. They...

    Thanks for the reply. Pat suggested that maybe my bushing was undersized. I measured it and it was .0015" small. That may be the cause of the flared mouth. It may also be that I need to neck down in steps. I have bushings on order to experiment with both scenarios and I'll post my results. As...

    Just got the Redding Die set fro GAP. Why does it come with a .290 bushing instead of a .291 bushing?

    Thanks. I was hoping that FL sizing then trimming would fix any variation But that may be optimistic.

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    I reread the section on bushings in Zediker's Handloading for Competition. Turns out what looked like a section of untouched neck at the shoulder is actually tapered because of the bevel on the inside of the bushing edge. According to what I read, as long as I turn down slightly onto the...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    Thanks. I found the thread. I'll have to do done more research. I'm concerned that if I don't size closer to the shoulder, I'll either weaken the neck when I neck turn or create a donut when the neck expands during firing.
