    Help with fire-formed brass not rechambering

    After 3 days of trying everything under the sun (and moon) and hitting solutions that turned out not to be, I got it. I got away without chamfering and deburring the mouth of my multiple reloads on the AI 308, which is very forgiving. Not so on the 260. Chamfering and deburring the cases'...

    What are you reading?

    Finished reading it and like it a lot. Then I got the audible version in Kindle where Erik adds more info on the third agency that hired him: CIA (in addition to DOD and State). He explains he was not allowed to disclose it on his print edition. Others in my favorite list: Atlas Shrugged...

    Good load for 308 A-Max 178, Norma, Lapua brass, Winchester primer

    All 5 went through it, the red dot is 3/4 of an inch. I normally put all 5 rounds inside the dot (@100), but never before or after such tight group. I was in 'the zone'; second time ever for me. First time was with a Sig 1911 .45 at 9 feet. I wish I could get into the 'zone' at will, but...

    When a 338 Lapua Magnum goes BANG the wrong way

    There was a lot of damage in all directions BUT to the left, where the shooter was sitting. I agree, there is no possible excuse, that was very stupid. You got it right, but I can't name names, it is a friend still who otherwise is a nice, smart guy. I keep my distance (at the range).

    When a 338 Lapua Magnum goes BANG the wrong way

    My friend was cleaning the barrel of his 338 LM when he got distracted by a fellow shooter. He then went right to fire, forgetting the rod was still inserted at the muzzle.

    Help with fire-formed brass not rechambering

    Thank you guys. I have the exact same platform (Accuracy International AX) on 308. I shot the same cases over 10 times, never needing to trim the necks. Eventually using the Sinclair tool, I measured the neck in the chamber and it is very long, I probably will never have to trim those cases...

    Help with fire-formed brass not rechambering

    Hello and thanks for any help anyone can give me, I am going nuts. New Lapua brass fits on the chamber of my AI AX 260 Remington. I shoot it, go through the process (deprime, wash on tumbler with SS needles, anneal, neck size, prime, powder and sit bullet) and the brass is too large (fat below...

Anyone has a link to a video or other way to explain the setup process for that one die please? Called Redding, but they are on their yearly vacation...

    F T/R Competition 7wsm for FTR

    Thank you Turbo. That being said, the recoil of the 7 WM Hulk without the brake was very tolerable, no big deal. With my goal to get my next rifle capable of the longest distance with a) rounds with a form factor (BC, weight, shape, etc.) that keeps them supersonic the longest, b) less affected...
