I'd start with 25gr lil gun, and latter up to around 29...30 at the most (Watch for pressure signs around 27-28-29gr. If you start to see flattened primer/bolt swipes, etc., I'd knock it back ), and...

After some more reading, and using that demo... it is definitely NOT an internal ballistic "Prediction" program... in fact it says so at the beginning of install.... it says they are "Un-safe"...

Well... strange thing happened today.... I couldn't reproduce the issue I was having... even from the same batch that 40 out of 40 the previous weekend locked the trigger up... I think I only got 1...

+1 for trail boss... work great in my revolvers for reduced loads.... I imagine it works great in bolt action rifles as well...

I had heard nothing but good things about this trigger, and when it works, it has a great brake to it (Especially for an off the shelf rifle, and being a 2...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
The cases I am using are not belted. They headspace at the shoulder. The loads I am using are 2-3 full grains below MAX loads per Hodgdon (Retumbo, H1000) and Accurate (RL25, RL22). The bullets (ALL...

Well, what I'm going to do is FL size a dozen rounds or so, and only NS a dozen or so... Full length resizing is supposed to bring the case back to SAMMI specs...
This way, I'll know if FL sizing...

Maybe I should elaborate on my situation...

Another question I have not been able to find a definitive answer to....
Can a RCBS neck sizer effect/adjust headspace? It does not seem to, but I can't find any specific info regarding it.......
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I followed the instructions that came with the RCBS neck sizing die... and, atleast according to the instructions, it is setup correctly.
I do not have the wilson gage yet... I just wanted to see...
