Thick Jackets = More Pressure Could changing bullets from hunting to "thick" match bullets, when using the same maximum powder charge blow primers? Seems its possible. http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?49336-Berger-bullet-failure-test&highlight=

The Remington 6 1/2 primer should not be used in the 17, 222 ,223 Remington rounds.

Thank you Mike in co. You said it much better then I .

You never know what works till you try it. Interesting, on Reddings website, one of there tips was to install the bushing with the stamp (.268) of the bushing size, down towards the brass. When the bushing is pushed up contacting the die to size the neck, the 2 flat surfaces come in...

The brass is being damaged on the very first firing because the rife has excessive chamber headspacing. You need to fire form the brass on the first firing as if you are blowing out the brass to fit a wildcat chamber. Shooting factory ammo, then reloading that brass will not work, as the...

Some good guys here http://smith-wessonforum.com/ Your feeling that the firearm should stay the way it is, is correct IMO also. Some owners put in "spring kits" that cause misfires, light hammer strikes. A fine tuned revolver done by a good smith, may not even be reliable with one brand of...

Bullet Jacket Thicknes=To much Pressure? Could Berger have changed the jacket thickness on your bullets compared to what others are using? :confused: Different bullet here, but blowing primers with a thicker jacket. http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?49336-Berger-bullet-failure-test&highlight=

243 win 1-10 twist shoots 68gr to 90gr well. The big plus is all the super accurate bullets to choose from.

In 243 win Caliber- 2 different factory chambered/ rifles. A Redding FL sizing Type-S bushing die gives me better accuracy over standard dies without neck turning. I found after taking measurement that my RCBS standard die was sizing the necks down more then needed, over .010" If you do neck...

The magazine may be to long.(if it has one?) When you tighten up the screw at the recoil lug, the floor plate bottoms out on the magzine, not the bedding pillars. The screw feels tight, but the action can move a tiny amount under recoil. This will give groups of 3-2.
