Yeah, we all make mistakes once in awhile. If you haven't then you probably haven't reloaded or done much shooting. It happens, we learn from our mistakes. Like Bill, I try to watch my cases and I have discarded quite a few over the years. But once in a while you get lax or whatever. I've been reloa...

I actually did have have a case head break off in my Ruger #1. It's a 218 Bee and the cases had been fired 10 or 12 times. I tipped the gun up and the remaining part of the case just fell out of the chamber.

Never thought of that. I just bought a Lee collet neck sizer for .204. If I like it I'm going to get them for all cartridges I have.

Lol, I sized a few cases to finish up where I left off when the case broke off. Everything worked fine.

Yeah, full length sizing die, not a rifle chamber. I wouldn't attempt a rifle chamber like that no way. Seems like it would be hard to find a tap and all thread the exact right size. Anyway, I got it out and all is well.

Yeah, I'm going to have to inspect the cases better before I run them in the die.

I used a sharp awl and got between the case and the die in two places. That loosened it up, then I pulled it out with needle nose pliers. Inspected it with a light and there was no damage so I cleaned it real good with WD40, dried it out good and put it back together. Ready to go now.

Got it.

No, I haven't. Someone suggested freezing, that didn't work. Maybe I'll try heat.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

I had a case head come off while sizing and now the remainder of the case is stuck in my die. I've been reloading since 1968 and never had this happen. I guess in my old age I just didn't check the cases as good as I should have before sizing. They are L C brass and I thought once fired. Anyway does...

We were out shooting squeaks again yesteray. My buddy got another badger with his 6 m/m Rem. 75 gr. Barnes Verminatpr. 124 yds., female, 15 lbs. 11 oz. The bullet made a pretty good mess, went in the left eye, there was so much blood we couldn't tell where it exited. We didn't want to handle it t 20...

I don't post a lot on here but I do shoot a 204 R. It;s A Rem. 700 SPS. I use BLC (2) with 32 gr. and 40 gr. bullets. It has always been very accurate and decent velocities. I have never tried any other powder, I figure if it aint broke don't fix it.Try some Nosler Varmageddlon 32 gr. They are cheap...

Yeah they used to be called wgistle pigs here but somehow everybody changed and started callingt ground sqtirrels whistle pigs. Go figure !

Way to go Varmint Shooter. Are those Colorado chucks ?
