    Water Well Issues

    I've never seen hydro fracking, but sounds to be a better solution for water wells. Hope all works out and you get better, ie, more volume of water

    Water Well Issues

    Not sure which is worse on dealing with, rock or sand? Rock would be tough to drill and fracking (depending on how it's fracked) can cave it in. Air frack (high pressure) vs explosive? Are they pulling the casing before fracking? If not, it's putting holes in the casing which isn't good...

    I've always had good luck with their triggers. Got 1 of their trigger designed for pcc's that solved a reset issue.

    264 Win Mags - When would the brass cases be considered "Fire Formed" for each individual action?

    No, but I've been wanting a machine to do so.

    264 Win Mags - When would the brass cases be considered "Fire Formed" for each individual action?

    Brass life can be longer with great brass...doesn't have to be the most expensive............I've been reloading (this cartridge is when I 1st started to reload) 264wm since '84 and have fl sized every time and have used the same brass 20x over (100 pieces of win super-x) topped off with imr4831...

    264 Win Mags - When would the brass cases be considered "Fire Formed" for each individual action?

    both were released the same year and the 300wm followed maybe 5 years after that.

    6.5 PRC Hornady brass wont size correctly. Dent on shoulder. Confused.....

    This makes 40 years of reloading for me and I never had problems until I was on forums about reloading...............I went back to the way I've always done it and fixed what didn't need to be fixed. Example........small base dies..........like what is that (I did find out)...........I reload...

    Carbon barrel load development

    For the 4 I have (3 in AR10's, 1 for BA's) and little weight savings there is, I'll just stick to ss only. I have a 32" ss (264wm) and a 30"cfw (300wm) of close to same profile (32" is fluted) and the 32" is only 14ozs more.

    any .470-.473 bolt face small primer usage

    br-4's are in stock at times, but 400 and 450's are more easily obtainable (including fed and win compatibilities) when choosing for target or hunting loads

    any .470-.473 bolt face small primer usage

    from above replies................does the powder that's used (stick, ball, extruded) make a difference on your choice on small magnum or standard primers or using the same type across the board for your choice?

    any .470-.473 bolt face small primer usage

    for examples...........243win, 260rem, 6dash, 308win, 338fed and so on using small rifle primers is there a preference on using small standard vs small mag for best ignition, performance and reliability with case capacity between 30 and 50 grains? these hard to find and at reasonable prices...
