Wynne,
Ive been slacking. I just saw this. Let me know if you can take one more mechanical? I’ve sent you a text.

They are LR Magnums

I’ve got 1K LRM Wolfs you can have for $30.00
If you are planning on using Alliant powder stay away from Wolf!

Al,
Get well soon!

Wynne, it has been a while. I am planning on coming over for the 15th, if I can make it home in time. As of right now I think there is a total of six guys from Wayne Co. coming.

Gilley and Burkart are correct! If you anneal the case necks will expand when the heat is applied. I always bump/size after annealing. Gilley, set your die to bump .001” every time and life will be easy for you. Then again, don’t and some of us lesser shooters can win!
Wynne,
I’ll try to make it Saturday. I’ve got to go back out to Houston…[Read more]

Wynne,
I am happy to see them back up!
Tony

Dan,
I don’t think that a bump or NK size will give you a difference on the target during load work. It will affect your group during a match, due to wresting w/ the rifle between shots. The common practice in LR BR is to bump .001-.002” to avoid the wrestling/ disrupting the rifle on the bags. Short Range boys are watching daisy wheels and fla…[Read more]

I plan on being there around 0800. I am bringing my 10 year old son Brady and his Peewee football coach. Three guns total. I am looking forward to seeing you guys and I hope there is a good turn out.

What time is registration?
What time is first shot?

Al,
There is nothing wrong w/ questioning anything that you read on the www. But your question asked for the seater die (don’t take that line the wrong way). In my opinion the seater is an after fact for making straight rounds. Your sizer will begin the process of a canted round. Yours may not, they may be perfectly straight! I spoke to Wynne a…[Read more]

Al,
For my Heavy Gun (.300 Atlas) I use an RCBS 7/8- 14 custom microtop seater.
My son’s Dasher I use a Neil Jones microtop hand die w/ Arbor press. This is a bushing die. .265” bushing, .266” chamber and a .264” loaded round.
The best seater in my opinion is the Newlon Microtopped seater. http://www.newlonprecision.com/ with a Mitutoyo microme…[Read more]

Al, you are welcome. Hopefully you can find a load for the Hybrids. The reason I said 2 round groups, was if it will not do it in 2, it damn show want in 5. Good luck!
Tony

Wynne, Tell me again what the format is for the hunting rifle?

I am going to try some .30 cal 230 gr. Hybrids this next week in my Heavy Gun at .015” jump to see what the HG will do. I’ve got some brand new brass, so I’ll be running 5 shot groups. Box says 10 twist or faster, we’ll see if the 11 twist will spin them fast enough.

Al,
I have not played w/ the Hybrids much to date. I will work a load up for my Son’s Dasher over the next does not matter. The theory is that you can start out shooting .015” jump and as the throat erodes you do not have to chase the throat. .015”-.060” jump. http://…[Read more]

3) What do hybrids like to do?
Bryan Litz says to start at .015” jump with the Hybrids

4) What is your technique for determining “touch” or CBTO (combined overall length cartridge case base to ogive)?
1. Seat the desired bullet long.
2. Chamber it.
3. Eject it and look for square land marks.
4. Seat the.005” deeper and remove the landmar…[Read more]
