  1. My bolt lifts never get to that point, but it was the most I've had since started reloading. No indication of any marks from ejector hole on head stamp. Just stretched brass. It won't chamber smoothly without bumping the shoulder back. I believe it's just a softer, thicker brass. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  2. Yes, chrony speeds don't seem abnormal. Clocked 3515 FPS and showed signs of pressure. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  3. No, always been a hard primer seating brass. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  4. Flattened primer, crater, and hard bolt lift. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  5. Yes .243, using Herter's brass that I recovered from factory rounds shot from my rifle. Seems to get to pressure levels sooner than Remington brass. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  6. I loaded up some 70gr Nosler BT in front of varget starting from midrange, and got signs of pressure. Pulled all the bullets and marked it in my log book. I'm guessing it's the brass. I've seen pressure signs from this brand of brass more than any other brass so far. Understanding your brass better would allow for hotter loads if that's what you're ultimately going for.

  7. It only took you moving down south to realize that? I think many more realize that in NY than you might think. What's with the jab about "man made laws"? Like the laws or not, follow them, or at least pretend to follow them, especially when posting on a public forum where thousands of potential hunters as well as anti-hunters are looking at your every word.

  8. Some cartridges are more prone to brass wear than others, and then there's the methods of resizing as well as age of the brass matters as well. These things all work against the brass, and the only way to bring it back is to anneal. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  9. Looking forward to seeing some groups on paper. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  10. Just seems dangerous having lead in your mouth, no? I've never done it, so just curious. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  11. Thai spice with eggs? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  12. If you want to save the actual bullet then yes. If you don't care to re-use the bullet, then you can use pliers. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  13. Not sure if it's stated in their warranty or not, but if the camera didn't work from day 1, I wouldn't deal with the manufacturer, I'd go to the retailer. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  14. I'd have to agree. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  15. You can always pull the bullets and redistribute the powder and re-seat them. I can't imagine shooting 20 rounds of the same load after discovering the first 3 shots were grouping less than anticipated. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems 168gr and Varget is also a very good proven load to try.
  16. You're still referring to cookies, right? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  17. Lead in your mouth?!? Ever accidentally swallow any? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  18. Instead of making 20 rds of the same load, I'd load 3 rounds each at 46, 45.6, 45.2, 44.8, 46.4, 46.8, 47.2 That'll get you 21 rounds to play with. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  19. You mean wallpaper.... X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  20. Well, "we" probably won't, because we'll never hear from you again if that was the case. Sorta like the age old question, how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop. The world may never know. [emoji1]X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
  21. Didn't your co-workers mysteriously get sick all of a sudden? [emoji1] X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

  25. I like Costco batteries. Over 3 yrs free replacement and they carry Interstate brand. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems
