This guy was about a mile away from a viewing area along with 3 others on public yesterday. Pennsylvania's little slice of heaven is that area

I just bought some bullets from him as well and have the same experience. I would certainly do business with him again as well

Thanks. I appreciate everyone's advice. What really threw me off was the new hornady brass being tight to chamber. I marked one of them with the sharpie and it's rubbed in the same spot. I did size them as well before loading so I'm actually wondering if the rcbs die is actually causing the...

Just wanted to do an update on what I found. MagnumManiac is the winner for this topic. I took one case that barely chambered and one that didn't chamber and colored a ring around the case right above the belt with a black sharpie marker. This is definitely where the brass is hitting the...

I've never loaded for a belted magnum case so this is a learning curve for me. If there's anyone around central PA that wouldn't mind teaching a guy I'd appreciate the help

I guess I'm gonna have to buy some gauges lol

I'm testing empty brass that is prepped and ready to load(if it'd fit lol)

Base to front of belt is .215 on factory vs .217 on a nosler piece that wont chamber. Case diameter just in front of the belt is .510 on factory weatherby vs .514 on the nosler.

Yes it is a used and and yes I did clean it but I could scrub the chamber again. I have some factory weatherby ammo. It chambers just fine lol

So I resized the 15 cases I had prepped once already. Tried the paper on the first couple and tried clambering no go. Doubled it up and still a no go. Only the same 6 that chambered the first time still chambered. I did resize the new hornady brass as well before loading. Being primed already I...

Yes that makes sense. It pushes the brass into the die a little bit more

The 1x fired was yes but the hornady was bought new from midway and came primed as well

So I recently bought a 300 wby in an older version weatherby vanguard. New factory loads chamber without and issue. I have some new primed hornady brass that some chambers nice and smooth and some the bolt barely closes. I have some weatherby and nosler brass I full length resized with an ribs...

You're right they do but they're kind of pricey for this purpose as it's completely stock and I'm planning on leaving it as it is Tupperware stock and all. I honestly just don't like having to have off safe to chamber and unchamber a round. That's the only reason I want to go to the 3 position safe
