    Headspace Woes

    Lube, brass hardness, and a consistent handle pull are all things that I have seen affect shoulder bump. I use Imperial size wax and don't put any on the shoulder. A thin coating on the body, and a touch around the neck works well for me.

    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    It's really hard to see what the extractor looks like in your picture. Your camera is focused on the background rather than the boltface. You can take a small screwdriver and rotate the extractor, but that shouldn't matter much. As for the ejector, you could get a replacement spring, or trim...

    Odd results with case lube

    One Shot works well if you apply it right but it gets messy and stinks up the reloading room.

    Odd results with case lube

    If I want a precise shoulder bump- I start with a clean die, then use Imperial sizing wax, and apply with my fingers to the neck and the body. Putting it on the shoulder can create issues with consistency as it can build up in the die or is thicker on one piece of brass than another. Another...
