I've been using neck bushing dies to do a final bullet seat . Yesterday, I used my 17 Fireball, Neck bushing die, with the appropriate bushing, to do a final seat on my 204 R ammo. What I like about this method, is, the base to ogive of my reloads, is very accurate. I can use this same set...

Recently I purchased 5 boxes, of these apparently Old Nosler Zipedo .22 cal 55 gr. bullets at a local Estate Auction. Can anyone give me any info on them ? I'm guessing they weren't very popular. They vary in diameter, and the rings are the widest.

Has anyone used a Bushing die to seat bullets ? For years I've searched for a seating stem, that contacted the bullet close to it's widest point. Not any luck, in finding a stem to go that far down the Ogive. Different bullets have different Ogive shapes. A proper bushing size could solve...

Just picked one up and was wondering if anyone has experience with this particular rifle ? The one I bought is in 223 with a 26" barrel, and a 1/9 tw. Thanks ! Jim

Just picked one up and was curious about the barrel! Does anyone know it it's the same thread as the Savage ? Thankas ! Jim

Does anyone have one for .17 and.22 rimfires, and does it work ? I bought one and the insert is too big to fit in the chamber. Help ! Thanks Jim

Wanting to build a 17 Fireball. I have two 17 fireballs in 700 remington, and noticed that the rails and bolts are different from a 223 700 remington. Does Remington have the 17 fireball actions for sale, or do I need to look elsewhere ? Thanks ! Jim

Here's the details so far. Purchased a used 700 SPS in 204 Ruger at a gunshow. Looked as new with Leupold rings and mounts, and a cheap Simmons scope. Got it home and mounted an old 8X Leupold. Took it to the range, and at 25yds, it hit 3ft in front of box with paper plate target. I've...

Would a 513T action be suitable for a 17HMR ? Thanks ! Jim

I've been trying unsuccessfully to form 17fireball brass from 223 brass. I start with a 221 trim die, no problem. I turn the necks, and neck size to 20, no problem. Then when I size to 17 fireball, they nearly all wrinkle. How much wrinkle can I get by with ? How do you guys do it ? Thanks...

I've reformed a few 223 to 221 fireball. There is quite a bit of brass to remove to bring them into spec. What do you guys use to trim the brass ? Seems like someone should make a setup that would fit a hand crank trimmer, and cut the brass like a pipe cutter. And leave it at correct length...

I have some rem. 6 1/2 primers. I'm wondering if they would be suitable for a 222 rem rifle ? Thanks !!! Jim

First I sorted 100 bullets by their ogive. about half were real close. I then began seating these into charged casings. I proceeded to measure the ogive again including the case, now I had variation in the ogive again. The distance between the tip, and the ogive was the culprit. I...

I just ordered a Thompsom Center G2 frame set, for an old Contender Carbine, 222 barrel, I've had laying around. What's the difference between the Contender and the G2 ? Thanks guys ! Jim

I just picked up an old Redfield 3x9. Can anyone direct me to a reputable repair! It needs crosshairs and what ever else. Thanks guys ! Jim

Ive done just a little testing with the two 700 SPS's I have, and I'm not there yet ! So far, I've tried the Factory, and 18.5grs of Benchmark, with a 20gr Vmax, and a Rem 71/2primer with an overal length of 1.834. Does anyone have any pet loads for the 17?

Has anyone tried one, and are they any good ? Thanks!!

Has anyone tried one of these? I want to know if they're were accurate. Thanks !!
