Hey everyone, if I'm at the table, I've got questions. I received a Case Master for Christmas this year and it has a lot to say. At the present time i'm resizing a new batch of .204 brass to replace...

So if the bedding creates a positive, it might not be present immediately? Do you glass bed the rifle, spend the day plinking, then go to the range to taylor your loads? Or is there a process of...

Thanks for taking the time versifier, I too share you concern's here, I just chose poor wording. I was letting this tunnel vision I have right now with getting these loads as accurate as I am able,...

Sounds good. I will pay closer attention this time making sure to inspect the rounds after each step.
That was kind of my thinking on the damaged rounds also, just shoot them as a hunting load or...

Thanks for the reply's. I think I may have mislead you as to where the wrinkle on the brass occured. It happened at the very end of the body before it starts to neck down. If you misunderstood where...

Another day at the reload bench, another problem. I was building five shot groups for my .204. I got completely done with the job and I was setting up my new magnifying light to admire my work when...

Thank you for the reply's. I guess what started this was I heard that floating your barrel was a good thing, so I did just that to my 7mm a couple years back. Well it proved to be just the opposite...

I've been convinced that bedding is a positive step towards accurizing a rifle. I performed this on my .204 and the job looks really good. I have also been led to believe that the smaller the barrel...

Hello,

How much crimp are we talking about here? Is this one of the areas that have endless possibilities?

After I completed grouping my 30.378, I read an article that refered to the crimping...

Thanks for taking the time runfiverun. Just got back from hunting and I'm ready to get back at it. Your post has a ton of information that has me scratching my head. I think I'll slow down a bit.

...

Thanks runfiverun for the return.

Let me see if I understand what your saying. I should be looking into the % of case capacity to find a powder that fits my needs? I thought these were the...

Well the wind finally layed down enough that I could shoot my first batch of reloaded brass. Hate to sound simple, but it was kind of exciting. I'm using H50BMG powder and the published numbers that...

That was it. Cleaned the die and the next 20 turned out right.

I read when using a new die to be sure and lubricate well. Guess this was one of those circumstances when alot is not always better. ...

I came to a stand still on my 30-378 because of wind so I changed my dies and started to resize my .204 brass. After doing a box of 20 I noticed about every third one or so had wrinkles on the...

Thanks versifier, you make it sound easy. I'll pick up some more manuals asap.

I was playing around with some lengths last evening and the triple shock bullet that I am reloading doesn't lend it...

Thanks for getting back to me guys.

When I started this process, I was under the assumption that I was going to set the COAL at .050 to .005 off of the rifling. I continued to make dummy loads...

I looked for this in the archives but could not find it.

A box of factory shells broke the 100.00 mark so I'm biting the reloading bullet. I purchased a RCBS master kit and familiarized myself...
