Re: Primer of Choice?

Predator1 I use several different brands of primers. Probably my overall favorite is the CCI BR2's and BR4's. My 204 is a DPMS 24" AR15, and I have a load for the 32 grain SMK's with H4895 and another with 35 grain Bergers and H322. Both loads are well below 1/2 MOA at 100 yards and I use Winch...

Re: The perfect loading setup

Mike, Hi, I'm no expert, and my advice is free. Beware, you get what you pay for. And that goes for just about anything related to reloading as well as advice. So, for what it's worth, I have been very happy with RCBS equipment. I started with RCBS because a good friend that helped me get started us...

Re: Is it just me, or has anyone else.....

OK, update. I took a small cone shaped burr bit and put more of a taper on the seating stem where it contacts the bullet. Problem solved. I really don't think its a quality control issue. Because the die didn't mark the Hornady 32 grain v-max bullets at all. The Sierras are just shaped a bit differe...

Re: Is it just me, or has anyone else.....

Thanks guys. I will get a VLD chamfer tool and do the same. That is exactly what is happening on my bullets. I'm pretty new to reloading. Started in January of this year and only loaded 2,200 rounds so far. So when I see something of this nature, I don't have experience enough to know the cure. I re...

Is it just me, or has anyone else.....

Is it just me, or has anyone else had a problem when seating 32 grain Sierra Blitz Kings, I am getting a donut ring on the bullet just above the ogive. This is also creating a problem with consistent seating depth. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what did you do to fix it?
Thanks
