    Seating Depth Increments?

    I hear what you hear…..0.006" wide nodes….maybe 0.012" on a big one…. If you are 0.015" off the node, what do you see? Let's say you choose 0.030" increments…. Then you are 0.015" off at worst. If you start 0.050" off of ideal and work towards ideal, do groups incrementally shrink until you...

    Annealing?

    I wouldn’t spend my money on an AMP. I anneal with an Annealeez. It works, it anneals, it is very consistent. Results are just so-so. Worth $300…..not worth $1500 to me. I don’t know from experience, but I read comments on another forum, from posters I trust that something doesn’t work with...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    These seem interesting to me as I either have good experience myself or have heard a lot of positive feedback for these brands with minimal negative. There’s always one that slips through.

    Question about a load development method ....

    Interesting for 300 WSM, with h4350, the range Hodgkin provides is 59.0-63.7gr. 5gr range. So, start at 62.4 and work up in 1 gr increments to 63.7? How well does that work for you? Am I just reading your post wrong somehow?

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    What I would argue is average reloaders grab a method, load up a string and go with the best result. This will often give you a 0.3-0.8moa group. If we latch on to a single result and go, it is like playing the lottery. If we take this result and reshoot with another variable, but repeat the...

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    Call them out. Seriously, post a video. Show your 20, 50, 100 shot groups. They would probably even keep the link you post in their comments. There are lots of experts. Look at the expert Backfire invited out. Look at the guys that shoot Cortina’s 500 yd know your limits videos. No disrespect...

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    It really works like this. If you want to buy some stuff, do numerous load developments with things that don’t work, shoot 1,2,3,5 shot groups, not count flyers, miss when there is no wind to blame, ……please ignore their results. Using traditional load development, I have occasionally got...

    Bell & Carlson; state loyalty

    They make a good stock, imo. Hope they keep getting better!

    Erik Cortina is going to do the Backfire challenge

    I'm excited. Why not build a rifle for a 100 of 100 hunting rifle shoot? I guess the real question is can that keep up with granpappy’s ‘06 that was sub moa ALL-DAY-LONG? ….With a LooPOLD 3X9…..and the best looking wood this side of a sage brush. I hear it shoot all factory ammo inside of a dime.

    Failures in fireforming

    The brass was fired in a 30-30 Win of unknown origin or chamber. I’m guessing range rental somewhere. Then I bought it when new 30-30 was unobtanium. I annealed neck and shoulder pretty good, FL sized to create a false shoulder and then annealed again. Then fireformed with 5.5gr of titegroup...

    Failures in fireforming

    I was recently forming 7-30 Waters from 30-30 using the COW method. Why might I be getting these failures? Are the other 80 cases ok? They look ok on the outside. Brass was once fired Winchester. All were double annealed…pre/post fl sizing to set false shoulder.
