Yes - good point. Test for yourself in re: SRP. I don't get much sub-zero in Central TX. I haven't noticed any diff. in the winters we have have vs summers other than a few fps diff, but YMMV. Process works for either, so be safe if you're gonna be in other than reasonable conditions. And I...

I'm the guy who's silly enough to actually do this and document the process(which started in about 2010). I wrote a paper on it and shared it on another forum...but I can't find it at this moment. I used .308 Palma (SRP) Lapua and I still use this brass for my hunting loads because it's so...

I'm definitely with shtrrdy! It never fails...I have a beautiful rifle finished...and no ammo...customer to be here in less than a day and I'm already too tired...I rush to the reloading grotto to see if I have any FGMM 168 or 175 ammo. It always delivers. I twist all my .30 cal with a 1-10"...

Once again, I suppose I need to clarify. I'm not a benchrest shooter, never have been. The original OP was asking about shoulder bump. If his question was, "I'm going out hunting with a pack of crackers and my rifle and I need to shoot something to eat - how should I do it?" then that would...

Just to be clear, the OP was asking about bumping for his bolt gun. I gave no consideration in my post in re: semi-autos. Different animal altogether.

OP - to be honest, everything you need is in this thread. Many have different methods. I measure every case every time - no exceptions. However, I don't even consider a bump until my bolt is too sticky. With Lapua brass, I can't honestly remember how many firings I can get (and I run max FOR...

I always prefer the Redding (The Competition, Bushing Nk, Micrometers, separate body die - the 3 die $$$ set). No exceptions. They are pricey and I'm not wealthy - but they afford me something others don't...the ability to control the volume of the case better. The 6.5 PRC is identical...

I don't post much on here but try to pay attention to what's going on in the shooting community. I'm a full-time gunsmith and have been chambering and reloading the Creedmoor since before it took over for the .260 in PRS style matches. I have tried every high BC bullet made, but always come...

Thanks to all who replied. I hadn't bought brass in forever, so it helps to hear from folks who have! I picked up some Remingtons - and am still searching for some Lapua or RWS that some supplier still might have, but just like when the last Dem took office - I feel fortunate if I can find ANY...

I was JUST about to pull the trigger on some Nosler brass in .300 Win Mag when I found a thread on here that just saved me a bunch of $. So, having been a huge fan of Lapua (wish it was available), Norma and Winchester brass in the past, and always trusting "brand names", I started to...
