I am guessing your splits are circular, and if that is the case what you are getting is cartridge case stretch. A thin white or light yellow line appearing around the cartridge case just ahead of the belt is your first indication. To test further take a paper clip and straighten it out(leave...

Is this new ammunition or are they reloads? If they are reloads how many times has the brass been reloaded? Steve

That’s exactly what I wanted to know. The difference in price for 1 is no big deal but when you start acquiring bushings for multiple calibers the price difference between the 2 starts adding up fast. If I lube the cases anyway I don’t think the difference could be measured to justify the...

Thank for the input guys. I was unaware that you didn’t have to lube with the TiNitrite coated bushings and that this was the main advantage for them. I am full length resizing so I have to lube anyway. Do you see much reduced effort in resizing the brass using the coated bushings with lube...

I don't know how close you were to hurting youself but you know what they say. Close only counts in Hoseshoes and Hand Grenades but you were pretty **** close.:rolleyes:

I am thinking of a McMillan HTG with an adjustable saddle cheekpiece. My rifle has a Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14 scope with Nightforce Low .885 rings and a 20 moa base. With this setup I need a higher cheekpiece as well. I haven’t held one so I was hoping I could get some feedback on what were the...

Do you guys use the Redding Titanium nitrite bushings that Sinclair's sell or the standard bushings for the type S resizing dies? They are almost twice the money and I just want to know if they are worth it or is it snake oil. Steve

I have a Remington 700 BDL SS in 300 Rum and am thinking of getting a new stock for it. I don’t care for the way the original stock flexes. I am looking for a stock that doesn’t flex, is good for shooting prone off a rest, kneeling, and standing and doesn’t weigh a ton. What is everyone’s...

Thanks everyone, This has been very informative and I have learned a lot. I have decided on the Redding Type S Match Full Length Die Set and will be ordering very soon. Thanks for the help FF

I am leaning toward the Redding Type S Match Full Length Die Set. I am just trying to figure out how to measure for the bushing. I don’t have any fired brass yet, only a box of new ammo that I bought to compare my hand loads to. Also what brand and model do you recommend for neck turning? I...

Hi all, I am not new here just a long time lurker. I just picked up a 300 RUM and need to start reloading for it. I have been reloading my .270 Win, .220 Swift and .223/5.56 for quite a few years and always used RCBS dies. If you were to buy new dies for a .300 RUM which ones would you...
