If you're shooting them in an ar15, a GC base usually shoots better as it protects the bullet base as it passes over the gas port. I have the NOE 454-280-RF and their 454-307-RF molds.

The only reason I ever undo those nuts if when replacing the faucet. So, if they're so corroded that they don't want to come off easily drill into it and hit it with a chisel or punch to break the...

If it's already crowned I'd leave it alone. If not, generally I'll just do a 11 degree crown and leave a nice flat. I'd also make him a timed octagon muzzle thread cap for when the suppressor isn't...

There's also the Rock Island 22TMC rifle, rebarreled to 9mm. It comes in walnut stock and a tactical version. I'm good at spending other peoples money.

It can be done with an AR, but the barrel nut will be more or less captive. I had a 223 heavy barrel like that where you couldn't take the barrel nut off without removing the extension or turning...

I was hoping the annealing would do the trick for you. You don't suppose they sent a 8x56R or a 8x50 Lebel die mismarked as a 8x50R do you? Your chamber cast looks like a 8x50R which has more of...

I've ordered from stens and Jacks small engine parts. There's a good chance your starter just needs cleaned/lubed and perhaps a new bendix.

The one I had back in the early 90's was a non FFL gun. As much as I liked it I also couldn't hit squat with it. It was me and not the gun, as my buddy could shoot it well. So down the road it went.

Sounds like the non fireformed cases are hitting where the ring is. I see in your process outline that annealing the necks/shoulders was absent. Often when pushing back a shoulder on a case they...

Sos when you colored/dykem/sharpied the case and tried to chamber it like hpbear101 suggest, where was the coloring worn off the case? That will show you where the issue is.

I'd think you should be fine with a smaller gas port then. I've made a few midlength 450BM barrels and used a .081" port on them which has a lower port pressure. Are you getting ejector swipes?
