If you are using a standard die with an expander on the decapping rod, Yes, lube the inside of the case neck. Get a nylon bristle case neck or bore brush and put a small amount of case lube on the bristles. Brush in and out about 3 times turning the case as you do so. Do not "gob" it on. A very...

Stop at the lug. Wrap enough turns of masking tape around the barrel at the front of the fore end to make the action level in the stock and keep the barrel centered in the barrel channel. Use bedding pins, not action screws.

That is what Tactical $h*t News reported in a recent email. I guess you can't believe what you read on the internet.

Absofreakinlutely!

In October 2023, the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), of Prague, Czech Republic, entered into a definitive agreement to buy the ammunition brands of Vista Outdoor Inc. for $1.9 billion. Vista is an outdoor sports company that specializes in outdoor products, i.e., camp equipment, and shooting sports...

You can't beat this for the money! They track very well. The glass is very good for the money. It is not a night force, but for a budget scope, I don't think you'll find anything better. https://www.natchezss.com/exclusive-weaver-classic-series-rifle-scope-6-24x50mm-30mm-sfp-dual-x-non-illum-black

Here is something that I came across that should raise your blood pressure, and if it doesn't, you definitely aren't a true shooter or hand loader...

A 300 WM to shoot hogs out of a helicopter? Really?:rolleyes: I kind of think you should have went with a Ma Deuce. 🤣 Each to their own I guess.

I agree. Load 5 with the original BTO measurement. You still may need to tweak it a few thousandths. Your seating die setting will definitely change. Let us know what you find out.

Mid to upper end loads with IMR 3031 work very well with bullets in the 125-150 grain range.

Can you recover any of the wads to see what shape the petals are in?

I'd look at a 22BR if you don't already have an action with a .223 bolt face. Or if you are set on 20 caliber, a 20 BR with 50 grain bullets in the neighborhood of 3800 fps. https://www.6mmbr.com/20Caliber.html

I'd change direction completely. Get yourself a new BAT action and build something much cheaper to shoot, easy on the shoulder, easy on powder and probably the most consistently accurate rifle you'll own......a 6BR.

It's not that bad. I've seen many way worse, especially Savages. Clean it and shoot it, then clean it again when you're finished.
