Re: SHWW Group

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tribe</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Why? </div></div>
Because it softens the brass back to like new hardness, allowing a more uniform neck tension, & possibly longer brass life. Don't have any hard data on that yet. I do know that I have a lot of 7-8th fired brass from my old brl that wasn't performing up to par. Once I started to anneal the new stuff after the 3rd firing I quickly noticed a difference in neck tension. Once the brass is hardened it doesn't return to the same size any more when sizing. Some will be looser neck tension, & some will be stiff. It's a uniformity thing for consistent accuracy.

Re: SHWW Group

Thanks MG.



Bigs.... that's what I'm trying to figure out.... have you done it to any of your 7-8 fired stuff?

I'm curious if that would snap it back into shape....

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

No, I haven't.(I still have too much 3rd fired) But I'm positive it will get it working again. I started doing it every 3rd because I could feel the beginnings of the brass hardening after the 3rd firing. It just gets worse after that. I also had to change my collet in my neck sizer after the 4-5th firing of the old brass. It wouldn't size down enough any more, & I had to use a smaller collet to get the neck tension right again. Some of these would let the bullet slide in the brass by hand, & I could pull them out with my fingers. I'm going to try some 4th fired with the original collet again soon, & see if it's the right size again now.

Re: SHWW Group

Right on.... Let me know what you know when you know..... Will ya?

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Sure. I'll let you know. But if I was you, & had a bunch of 7-8th fired brass, I'd just do it. I think you'll be shocked at what it will do for ya-all's reloading. Try it out on some old win brass to get the feel for it, & you'll be fine. Just don't get it too hot. Just to where you see a slight color change in the neck.(it will go from shiny to dull looking) With my win brass it's a count of 11-12 sec in the flame, & you're done.
Oh yeah. You still a maybe for Saturday?

Re: SHWW Group

Bigs have you noticed more consistency @ say 800+ yards since you started annealing, ie that unexplained flier(s) when everything felt/looked good has disappeared since you got on this regimen? I know there are the extremes of no annealing to every firing, and someplace in between may be right. I've looked at the fancy setups for annealing...just too much dough for this poor country boy. Did you start out using tempilac pen as a guage before you got a good feel for timing needed in the flame? Some of my cases for the 6x47 are getting ready for their eighth reload-still okay out to 1K, and haven't stretched it out further. Keep us informed..and I may have to get something set up to warm the case necks.

Re: SHWW Group

Yes, I did see an immediate drop in those unexplained flyer's once I started annealing. They didn't go away completely, but they are less than before, especially with the older 7-8 fired cases I was using before. I think some of them are actually deformed 208 A Max's. Perhaps the tips are coming off, or something, I don't know. Just one of the reasons I'm making the switch to the 225's. I just know that the A Max's aren't as consistent as the HPBT's are. I liked the 210 VLD better for consistency, but @ near $50.00/box Berger can "bite me" I'm going to see if I can get a ballistic medium together to test the 225's out for hunting purposes, & if they will expand, & penetrate, the A Max's will be for sale fast.

Already on that trail..... just wondering if it's going to be worth the hike.....

 

[blurry6]

Re: SHWW Group

Annealing is mind-numbing, but it works. Talking to some of the more experienced reloaders at some benchrest matches, the key is consistency in your annealing (time you expose the brass to the flame) and getting the brass softened just past the body/shoulder junction - the time (under the flame) will vary with your brass, but is pretty easy to determine. Just run a piece under the flame and time it i.e. count off: one-potato, two-potato,..etc. 'til the brass just beyond the junction starts to shift in color and take it off the flame - let it cool on its own or drop it in some water,... Then expose every piece to the flame as identically as possible,... As with everything in reloading, consistency is king.

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

+1 for what blurry said. I'm not as presice as I would like, but I'm getting better at it every time. I count the sec it's in the flame, & watch the color at the same time. Just as the color changes below the shoulder the neck should be getting a dull golden color. That's it. I'm sold on it. Only time will tell if I get a significant increase in brass life, but what do you have to lose? The brass is going to wear out anyway if you anneal, or not.If it extends the life a couple reloads, & gives a little more consistency, it's worth it.

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

Yeah..... I'm most concerned about getting consistency back in my load... right now, it's jumping all over the place. That said, I'm pretty sure now (at least hoping), that I've got my finger on it, and it is a brass issue.... I was pondering everything from barrel to the new lot of primers I started, as the source of my woes......

What kind of dies are you guys using?

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

I use Redding Competition neck, & seating dies, along with a Lee FLS die, & a IT belt die.
Tribe. I'll bet that a few of your brass will go into your sizer, & pull out past the expander with little to no friction, & others will take a little effort to get through the expander. That's what was going on with mine when they got hardened. The brass won't spring back evenly, or consistently. Annealing will cure that.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Cegorach</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What kind of dies are you guys using? </div></div>

I'm partial to Redding's Competition Die Set. They're more expensive but are very well made and allow ultimate control. You get a body size die, a neck size die which accepts individually sized collets (purchased separately) to control the amount of neck tension you want on the bullet, and a seating die that has the ever-so-handy micrometer top,... you don't NEED it, but it is really handy.

That said, I've got die sets from everyone pretty much,... Lee, RCBS, Hornady, even couple custom dies,... but the Redding's are the best I've come across. I'm a "do it once, do it right" kinda guy so it's worth the extra expense.

Yeah, it's a 7wsm TRG-42. I know they were sending off the barrel for melonite a little more than 2 weeks ago. I would be pretty stoked if they were working on it now, but I wouldn't expect the barrel to have come back so quickly.

Re: SHWW Group

The group shoots are really laid back and a lot of fun. As long as you're safe you'd have a great time. People are usually really nice and will gladly let you check out their gear and answer questions and all.


Unsolicited personal opinion: if this isn't a "fighting rifle" skip the Troy BUIS and put that money towards things you'll need. The odds of using the BUIS on a long range match rifle hover just over 0%, and the couple hundred dollars you'd spend for them could really be used for things you do need.

Re: SHWW Group

Those are some good choices actually as far as the rifle goes. i however wouldn't recommend a uso for an optic or a surefire for the suppresor.

I went to that site once, but I don't know as much about their durability and performance as compared to Surefire which will outlast the gun, lol. How much are the cans running, are the minimal shift, and do you all have a class 3 dealer that will do the transfer and not rake me over the coals on a fee?

If you have a second what's your optics recommendations and reasoning?

I assume you guys announce the Group Shoots here? Is there a calendar/schedule or is more of a get together on weekends type deal? I wouldn't mind going and at least watching or having someone go over my rig with me and offering up suggestions...

After researching everything I know they're full of shit, lol... but they had good intentions. So, I'm a newbie to LR shooting and I might be out of place at a group shoot for the moment. I'm an application more than observation person. I'm hoping to have my equipment in the next few weeks so I can go out and get some rounds down range and some emperical knowledge.

Purchased
GAP 10, 308, 22", PRS, SF Muzzle Brake

Still deciding/ Waiting on funds...
Optics:
NF 3.5-15 MIL / SN-3 or T-PAL 3.2-17 MIL

Suppressor
Surefire FA762SS (I'm not a fan of ear plugs or hearing loss, lol)

Need to pick-up a bi-pod, Troy BUIS, and sling still... And before anyone starts in on me about bolts I know they're better but for now I'm not looking to go more than 1000 and I wanted a platform I felt more comfortable with to start.

Broker, I've got the same GAP coming but with an 18" barrel. How much longer is your wait?

One of these days I'm going to link up with these guys and shoot with them. I'm in a bit of a transition with my career and with another baby on the way, so my time is limited. But from what I know of them already, they're an awesome bunch of guys.
