I always use lube when re-sizing
I usually only turn them a 1/4 or less while adjusting
But what usually is the problem with my cases not chambering / stcking/hard to chamber is that I have bulged out the brass by pushing back the shoulder to far
sometimes hard to see .sometimes plain...
Iam dealing with the oal length now , its normal to have the deep throat . set it so they will load fine then work on the loads with that length , some guys load them long and single shoot them
a good writeup on getting your coal set ...
Okay I'ave killed a few elk (6) & moose (3)& 250+LB on hook mulies (4)
bullets were all 160gr with 7stw speer grandslams , partions, tsx
and 225 accubond with 338wm
Theres not much chance for longer then 200m shots here with the bush
elk with stw
nosler partion/speer...
thats a interesting idea on keeping the yellowjackets/flys away , I have that problem with my sept elk hunt , a spray bottle with some vinegar and water works but u need one guy shooting :D
well you do have 200 win brass now ,
you can buy the same 140 bullets then just copy the oal & fps if u have a chronie from the factory ammo to your reloads .. it may just shoot as good or better
I think it was like this from new , I only have about 150 rds threw it . thats why Iam trying the 175gr from the 160...... 190 seems interesting
funny thing is that when I was doing some varmit loads the fb 120 shot nice
I have 7mag dies , do u set it as usual to bump it? or do u just do a FL size?
I havnt seen new stw win brass here (canada) in 10yrs
My other problem is my throat , max oal to load in my gun is about 3.645 BUT I dont touch the lands till 3.702 ...with a .20 (3.682)jump Iam still .37 to long !!
thanks , yah I new it was pretty loose from the measurements ,just wondering if it was real bad , my cases expand quite alot(length & width) from new brass , I seen the ring and was worried about head separation ..I have a 338wm and its fine
has anyone used the body collet to resize there...
OAL lengths comparisons
If one of u guys have a hornadyOAL gauge or what ever ,can you tell me what your lengths are . I have a hornady with the bullet & headspace bushings
My sendaro seems excessive
measurements are with caliper re-zero'd with adapters on
HEADSPACE
new remington...
OKAY THANKS , JUST WITH SO MANY BULLETS NOW THERES ALOT OF VARIETYS ..

Diameter Weight Description S.D. B.C. LG CAT# .284" 120 gr TSX BT .213 .349 1.125 28442 .284" 140 gr TSX BT .248 .394 1.268 28444 .284" 150 gr...
Iave been doing it for awhile
I have found the best for me ......add 2tbls dawn 1/4teaspoon lemi , 3QTS warm water 50-100 rds brass (2 lbs) tumble for 2.5 hrs (3 max for super dirty) I use a timer ..... pockets are clean , rinse with hot water.
also watch if u mix brass as they can...
Has anyone used RL25 with a 160gr ? I was wondering what its like for temp sensitivity, I test loads in 60dg but hunt in 0-, -10
or what have u used in a similar situation
