I will have to figure this one out when I realize what I am actually being sent. Back at home I have a set of Redding Comp micrometer dies for a 270. I just bought a new rifle and the man is sending me a set of (standard?) Redding dies in 6.5-284. I wasn't sure if I could remove the micrometer...

Can the Redding micrometers from their competition die sets be swapped from one caliber Redding die to another?

I know someone who has a decent looking 6.5-284 for sale which has a new match barrel on it. The problem is that I noticed Berger's site suggests a faster twist of 1:8 for the heavier bullets, and this gun is 1:9. So I'm wondering if it would be worth it to grab, or if I should just use the...

Here is an article talking about reloading the 22WMR: http://www.gun-tests.com/performance/apr96reloading.html From the way it sounds, collet pulling doesn't seem to be extremely dangerous like some are making it out to be. It seems like by using the 22WMR brass and a custom 17HMR sizing die...

Do you know what weapon the police were shot with? Just wondering if the media has more food to feed the whole "assault weapon" deal.

The bullets are jacketed. The idea was to load new fresh bullets, but I don't really want to do that anymore with the expressed danger in mind. Instead I will try the rim gauging. TangoTwo, When the extreme spreads are low I get .2-.25" 5-shot groups. But then I have groups with large ES and...

So non of my questions are valid anymore because this was asked? :rolleyes: I read an article about 17HMR reloading, but it was mentioned the guy got a hold of primed brass. He managed something like 2700FPS with a 20gr bullet. I have also read that the pulling can be done if done cautiously...

What methods can be used to increase the accuracy potential of factory HMR ammo? I have not tried gauging rim thickness before to sort. Does it work well? I have a gem scale which resolves to 1/100 of a grain, would weighing the loaded rounds make any sense? My senses believe "no", since...

Jeez, I don't know what to say about these idiots anymore. The shooters or the reporters, that is. 4/4/2009 PITTSBURGH – A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest and "lying in wait" opened fire on officers responding to a domestic disturbance call Saturday, killing three of them and turning a...

Yahoo says nothing about a long-gun in the story which I read. "The man believed to have carried out the attack was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an office, a satchel containing ammunition slung around his neck, authorities said. Police found two handguns — a 9 mm and a...

Can I use the type of sand which is found in automobile weighting sand bags with success? I'm not sure what specific type or grain size it is, just looks like a "beach sand" to me.

Thanks for all of the info, guys. Steven Lee asked what I am using my setup for. Right now, I am attempting to get my feet wet with a factory rifle, that is an FN-98 chambered in 270 Win. I know it's not anything near a bench rifle. I do have a Stiller action ordered, so I am experimenting with...

I figured it was finally time that I get to the bottom of this and ask the question. What's the deal with arbor presses? Do I need new die sets to make the switch? Right now, I do all of my loading with a Lee BMG press. I always thought the press wasn't as important in reloading, as it merely...

Well, I'm not talking about plotting illegal crime schemes on the internet. I'm talking about organizing, and being prepared, should the day come we are put to the test. There sooner or later needs to become some form of link between larger numbers of gun owners, besides the internet. And I...

^ There's no need for armor if you are holding that thing.

At what point shall the militias organize and prepare? It seems to me there is a lot of internet talk everywhere about "doing something" when the time comes, but I don't see anyone actually anticipating the day of war. Alone we are small. Organization is needed if we are ever to arrive prepared.

OK, great. ;) I turned the outside nut out all the way and took it off, but obviously I did not catch on to the simplistic design while I had it apart. :o Thanks

I had a box of 50 Nosler .270 Win brass arrive the other day. Whoever makes these specifically I do not know, but the quality of my batch seemed good. All flash holes were deburred cleanly. Case mouths were chamfered cleanly, with some showing the slightest bit of being a non-concentric...

I'm having an issue with my new K&M neck turner. It's after hours, so I figured I would ask here. I have the locking screw loosened, and the cutter depth adjustment will not turn in any more. That is, it gets very tight before the tool gets close to the mandrel. Stuck somewhere around 14/1000s...

Thanks for the help, guys. Sounds like enough sources to figure something out. ;)
