wow that looks like maybe 5.5 MOA mean radius? thats awesome. Did you shoot that offhand?

Huh? 1.3" 50yds 1911 from a RR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Xh-DDwy5E

show us a pic of your ammo

I agree completely.

The "solutions" for rifle case trim and deburr out there, and yes I am including the "amazing super all fixing all knowing" ones like WFT and similar from various small...

what sort of tinsel fairy disasters are you guys having and how is that happening?

to smoke or not to smoke is really a meanigless question. you can smoke a mold with a lighter in about 30 seconds so there isnt anything at stake here time wise or difficulty wise. smoke half the...

I like that thing. Any vids or more pics of it in action?

but remember, if you want reliable ammo, dont trust your reloads, buy factory..LOL

did it look like mine

got any pics?

I sent Lapua pics and they said to mail them some of the bad cases. In the mail they go!

so what am I getting then by paying a premium for this? thicker walls and more consistent internal volumes? If this isnt significantly better than my once fired lake city range pickups then whats the...

i havent noticed anything on the rest of the case..but who knows

seems kind of odd to me that I need to re-trim and re-size brand new "match" brass thats been annealed....how can that make sense

what worries me is that it looks EXACTLY how handing off the "brass trimming" operation to someone who doesn't know what they are doing, armed with a drill press and a dull cutter, would look

the...

Is this what I should expect from Lapua "match" brass at 80 cents a case?

DEEP chatter marks
Dented mouths
Uneven chamfers
Mouths that aren't square

The pictured brass is NOT the exception....

I disagree.

If you were to put a factory 5.56 55gn FMJBT round right next to them they look like they are seated the same or maybe even deeper.

I'd skip the crimping step and just deflare (set...

ive paid little to no attention to patina or other "release" methods and my MP452-200-HP drops boolits fine

have a selection of tools to clean the molds of lead debris, which they will slowly...

FWIW I expanded my lee .451 up to .4535 just using some 500 grit and a drill press..worked great and drops consistent sized boolits as confirmed with digital mic

I would imagnie you could buy the...

its not that you cant its that its much easier for a beginner to sort out their problems with better process controls

now that I know my process works I could probably get rid of the PID and...

It has nothing to do with 'being in a hurry'. Time is precious and I have better things to do than cast. I'd rather shoot. If I could make a robot pump out boolits all day long I'd press the on...

I do not have any trouble with that mold and cutting the sprue. If anything I have to wait to make sure its not molten anymore. It always cuts very easily on the first try with any handy stick or...

wow so with the MIHEC 200gn hollow point you are getting 1" outer to outer at 50ft (16 yards) so thats more like say 0.6" center to center? So about 3.6 MOA?? Thats impressive.Do you have any other...

I also am a new reloader, loading for a 45 ACP 1911. Heres what you need to do to be able to analyze and solve chambering issues when reloading:
