When reloaders are claiming surplus cases are heavier than commercial cases reloaders believe all of these ferry tales are correct. They should start the story with "Once upon a time".
I disagree...

I can not share the details because the details would not be appreciated.
I was offered a deal on what appeared to be 30/06 national match cases that had never been loaded before from dealer that...

Again, I said the thicker case head was the safer case. I did not distinguish between one case head being soft and the other being work hardened.
I will have to say you have limited skills,...

Who measures before and again after? I have chamber gages, case gages, and I have Wilson case gages. I have always been impressed with factory loaded cases. That includes the weight of the powder,...

I can not take credit for the No Name case lube. Many years ago I could not understand why there had to be a case lube made for case lubing so a gathered up all the lube I could find and or had...

"with a light load there is not enough pressure etc." I have very few friends among reloaders because I believe had there been enough pressure to blow the case head back the case would stretch...

I would agree if you understood why the Remington case with the thick case head is safer than then the thousands of cases I have that are .200" thick.

I suggest a reloader measure before and again after and again after sizing.
The 30/06, 270 and the 25/06 case body/including the shoulder are all the same.
If you necked the 30/06 down count on...

I should be embarrassed, I am the one that said it is impossible to move a shoulder back with a die that has full case body support. I am also the one that fired 8mm57 rounds in my 8mm06 chamber...

We have expert chamber casters on all forums that means I know better than to get involved.
So? Invite me to your next chamber casting job. It is one of those things that can not be done on the...

Reloaders; I have been told the military case is heavier because it is thicker. A lot of reloaders talked about it but I had trouble finding a reloader that weighed and or measuring.
I told them...

Reloaders are going to have to decide what happens to the neck when necked down; When I neck a 30/06 case up to 6.5 the neck gets longer. When I neck the 30/06 case up to .338" the neck gets shorter....

I believe it is safe to say I have 8,000 FC, Federal and Federal +P cases, that does not include my TW cases.
I did give up on close to 300 cases that went to the iron and metal yard because the...

Bullet friendly, case friendly? Again I make datums, a datum that is case friendly makes the tool a comparator; like Hornady/Sinclair.

Herter sold economy dies, one was the neck sizing die. Many reloaders purchased economy dies and failed to read the description. The shoulder and case body was not finished.

Scott, forgive, I sent a stack of instructions on RCBS and Herter dies and presses to a world famous reloader thinking if he went back that far the origins of terms and procedure could get sorted...

I am the fan of forming first and then firing. And then there is the load them up and fire; I want to know what is going to happen to the case when fired. Most reloaders never mention the make and...
