I rotate back and forth constantly but usually only get a few turns in before its finished.
This is a way cool cartridge in my opinion and even cooler with the option of a rifle in the same caliber. Too bad it's not a lever action or a semi auto, that'd be a serious hoot!

All my anneals look like yours and they work well. First time I annealed brass I did it in a dark garage like I'd read about but I fouled a lot up. It was actually easier for me to do it in direct...

It's faster for me to buy a half finished piece of equipment and finish it to exact specs myself. Besides not everyone conducts their hobbies in the same manner. Also I imagine few buyers expect top...

If you're handy just hone out the sizing die yourself after making sure you need it at all. It's simple and fairly quick with a piece of dowel sand paper and a drill. I'd bet Lee is running full tilt...

Looks great! Don't worry about the threads even the ugly ones usually work as well as the purty ones if not as smoothly. I like the idea of sizing before trimming, seems as though the crumpled case...

Man I gotta get my new bench finished and moved into so I can get some of these worked up.

So would .243 brass work? I have lots of '06 brass, no .308 but a handful of .243

Check out BTsnipers posts on his .40-08 wildcat. Looks like a great one to me.

Hammer handle, long and slender enough on one end to stir with but thick enough on the other end to drill and fill with a bit of lead for thumping sprue plates. On the slender end I've drilled to...

Agreed, I've been turning over how to do this in my head for a bit. Thanks for solving this one for me! Do you think a larger powder charge would cycle the action? I'd love to have the option of...
I'll vote for the Taurus also, the one my buddies wife has will shoot bug holes at 25yds but I suspect that to be the exception and not the rule of course. Well put together gun and with the aluminum...
The Springfields are good guns but I have fired 3 now on their first trip to the range and I have to say that the triggers were all terrible. Gritty and heavy, on the other hand the rock island and...

I'll have to give this a go, seems like it'd make great hunting hollow points.

Yeah I think you're shooting ingots rather than boolits in that Lott! But now I know who to call next time I go train hunting!

They do seem to be flying like throwing knives, I'm curious to see another group now though. And if they do continue to tumble (which I rather doubt) the increased or decreased charge test would be...

This being a public forum I find it more offensive that you would ask someone not to participate in a public domain discussion than either of the two cited examples of "stalking" or "harassment". And...

If I had a rifle that could tumble 'em that consistently I don't think I'd touch a thing. There are companies that have spent millions getting their bullets to do just that trick, albeit after they...

I also would love to see the MVP in 300 blackout. I think that rifle would flat sell.

I had this problem also with almost the exact parameters you describe for the acp. I have a groove dia of .452 but my boolits drop at .453, turns out I was using too much 45/45/10. With the thinned...

The other bonus I've not heard mentioned about a rebore from JES is that he is able to do custom twist rates. I was lucky enough to get a tour of the operation when I had a Ruger No. 1 rebored to .35...

I run a 52gr jacketed bullet in my .223 bolt rifle using 27gr H335 in 5.56 brass with excellent results. Have at it and just start low and work up with your powder charge.

No, mine is a No. 1b.I had forgotten that the RSI was the mannlicher stocked version. I havent made a trip to the range yet so I cant say if my bedding job did any actual good but I can say it took...
