Re: problems reloading with once fired brass
Think the advise of getting a small base set of dies for your reloading of cases going into a semi-auto (HDR - Homeland defense rifle) is what you need. A standard set if fine or single shot and bolt guns, but not HDR's. They need sized fully. That will end your problems, RCBS and others have such s...

Re: large cal. rifles
Just to throw another fine cartridge into the pot, for you.. For varmints and general shooting a good 100-115 bullet is fine. Move up to a Nosler 120 Gr partition and the cartridge will serve you well on Elk and moose. Have used one for about 25 years now and have never been sorry. This fine cartrid...

Re: outside neck deburr tool?
http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/case-prep/outside-chamfer-tool.php I use one of these to lightly chamfer the outside.A socket stuffed with 4 O steel wool turned by hand or power gives a nice finish without removing too much brass. I use the RCBS tool, that chamfers inside and out, and it works v...

Re: Superperformance powder
I also bought Hornadys New Book and was upset that so little information was in it for SuperPerformance. From the advertised info that I had seen earlier about the info that is has on this powder I was led to believe that it would be useful. False advertising and I do believe I will be calling Horn...

Re: Interesting Knox Report about ATF, and Mexico.
Just another corrupt Washington D.C. agency. But with the likes of Obama, Holder, Bloomberg running around for gun control (look at Bloomberg calling for tougher handgun laws, due to the police shooting in a police station, when the weapon was a shotgun. Shows what they are after and their mentality...

Re: 34 Grain Dogtown Bullets
I have began playing with both the Dogtown(MidwayUSA) and Varmint Nightmare(Midsouth). Both have been working well, able to work up accurate loads and they do indeed do major damage to ground squirrels and jackrabbits. Only one coyote, so far, but it did put it down. Shooting them in a .223, 22-250 ...

Re: Reloading
I made the switch to 7.5 over the 6.5 when I started shooting a 17/223 due to the higher pressure and primers piercing. I would just make the move and stick with the 7.5 in all the hotter cartridges i.e 223, 204, etc and not worry about having a problem. Just work up your loads with them and have fu...

Re: Imperial Dry Neck Lube
First, no question is dumb, if you do not know and what to know the answer. I use the same lube and just wipe a little, with my fingers, on the case and every forth round put just a little in the mouth of the case, if the case seems to be dragging in the deprime/size die. Then I just wipe the case d...

Re: hard extraction
Funny, the timeing on your comment re. primers. A friend, just yesterday, told me he had a problem with a couple brands of ammo/primers pierceing. Took the ammo, both unfired and fired, back to the dealer and was told they have had numerous reports and returns on ammo with pierced primers. Must be a...

Re: hard extraction
In my mind and knowing that most all the 204's have long throats, I was taking a stab at possible one slipped though. The tight chamber and heat could well be the problem, whereby you checked and nothing with cold. I guess your followup when it gets hot, will show and tell you.. Have fun, but be car...

Re: hard extraction
I am going to take a stab at this, with saying I would check or have a gunsmith check the throat/lead on your chamber. It could just be that you have a short or bad chamber/throat on this factory rifle. Mistakes do occur. Most cartridges, especially factory have plenty of lee way, but you just never...
