So I've not yet been able to get my hands on a different stem (working on it), but was wondering wat impact the slightly flattened tips would have on poi?

Thanks I will see want I can get my hands on I was pretty happy with the seating stem on the lee dies, but was just not able to get anny consistency in my seating depth I've got a good friend with 6mm dies, perhaps I'll try his seating stem

Good day all I have previously loaded nosler 140gr ballistic tip bullets for my 6.5x55 using lee dies. I tjen switched over to 130gr rdfs and got new Hornady custom grade dies. The first few rounds I loaded went fine, the the other day I loaded 10 additional round. These last 10 I noticed that...

Good day all. I have been enjoying my 500 A-Sqaure lately shooting 600gr mono solids at 2300fps and 570 barnes tsx at 2250fps. This is brilliant on the big stuff ( elephant, buff, and hippo), but I would like for this rifle to also be used for following up lion and other lighter game. These...

W Which sight do you have mounted? An rmr?

Thanks, I was leaning towards the trijicon rmr to begin with... Think its what I'll get for my rifle

Good evening everyone. I am currently looking at putting a red dot sight on my dangerous game rifle. I am just about sold on the idea, but for one major concern. I am not sure about the recoil. The rifle is a .500 A-Sqaure shooting 600gr bullets at 2300 fps with a 105gr powder charge. The rifle...

I am full length sizing with a lee die. I'll have a look at their website thanks

Ok, so I've resized my brass and, before doing so chambered a few of them. There is some resistance but not an excessive amount, but considerably more than when I chambered the factory ammo. I resized them, still resistance, so I gradually moved the die deeper, but still I find resistance. I...

Would these cases be safe to reload with? Eventually i will be looking at lapua or norma cases, but this is what I have for now

here are some images of random pieces i took from my box of cases. some of the cases have no marks at all, but the majority of them have these marks

ok, so I've been shooting my 6.5 a bit now with ppu 139gn factory ammo. this runs around 2400fps through my 22" barrel... groups are ok for factory, just under 1" @100m. my big concern is that almost every single case has ejector marks on it and I can see where they have been 'shaved' by the...

This is interesting, I'm about ready to start developing a load and testing, just waiting on a new tumbler so I can get my brass clean

I also wonder if it could be possible to exceed those pressures at all with a more stable powder like VV or Imr... I see a lot of loads that in theory should be producing close 60k psi Is this potentially possible? Not that I need the velocity that comes with thkse pressures currently, but maybe...

Hi. I am currently using ppu brass. I plan on starting at around 43 grains and working up from there. The brass has an average capacity of 58.3 grains h2o
