Hornady service has been generally good, but sometimes hit-or-miss for me. They made me a sizing die for free just because I complained about the final dimensions. I was told they would update the...

Sound frustrating. It may not help you to know this, but that's not the only progressive that will jam up with powder through the hole of an unprimed case. Of course, that case should have never been...
There are various gunsmithing apparatus to do this, usually a V-Block with a hole for marking or drilling on the barrel. You can put a spirit level on the V-Block, assuming you have the gun perfectly...
I was there once. I have had to correct every "professional" scope mounting job, including my gunsmith's. His mounting was mathematically perfect (within any measuring tool's ability), that rifle...
Maybe it has something to do with our overall declining (declined?) domestic textiles industry?
I'm happy to hear that. My last Lyman purchases of 5-8 years ago were disappointing. Boolits...

I don't have an App, but I do like to lube while using carbide dies. I just lube less often. Depending on the work being done, and what kind of lube, it's usually every 4th, 5th, or 6th shell that...

It's easy if you don't care about saving the wad and the shell. As BaltimoreEd says, get a box cutter. Cut a ring near the top, dump out the shot. Pull out the wad, dump out the powder. The 209...

Back to the original question.
Modern, western understanding of the Rapture is generally traced back to John Nelson Darby, a Plymouth Brethren preacher who died dirt poor in the service of the...
I've played with 11.8 to 12.6 grains of Red Dot behind the Lee 310, for a plinking load. Accuracy was only fair at 5 into 1.3 inch and 10 into 2.5" at 25 yards out of the Ballard rifled barrel.

If the meplat is significantly larger than the primer, then it's OK.
For the largest meplats, you may need a different magazine follower to get them to feed OK. I upgraded my 444SS with a red...

I have the original. It's interesting how some of the conclusions of extensive research & testing in that book, get directly contradicted by some of the luminaries here on this board... I think that...

I got some bloopers with a very light load in 38 Special, that were OK with the same shape and weight in lead, so I think they are a little different than lead, but closer to lead than most jacketed...

It could work. Sandbags or other protection might be in order.
I found very light 45ACP loads to be cleaner with bullseye, but medium and full spec loads in 700x to be very clean, too.
It is harder to measure, having a wide rotor cavity and keeping the...

FL vs PFL vs NK argument is a canard.
What matters is consistant bullet pull, runout and chamber self-centering.
If you can control that to the gun's best liking, then you can achieve optimal...

Aftermarket barrel, bed the barrel, float the receiver, home trigger job, mount the scope to the barrel not the receiver.
Cheapest path to reasonable 10/22 accuracy.

S sizing dies are different than Redding competition sizing dies... S dies lack the sliding sleeve around the case.
But yes, it should work.

EBay disputes have been a circus side show from the start. Do you know where feedback came from? It was one of their early attempts to fix the problem. How well did that work out?
