I have an RCBS lube machine, but I only use it for short pistol bullets. I find that it bends longer bullets and destroys accuracy. I tried lubing in a pan and pushing the bullets out or cutting...

Yep, the wasted case space is the reason for the dacron filler. I am old and beat up enough that recoil doesn't have the appeal that it used to.

Sorry, no pictures. You wouldn't have wanted to...

I found an accurate load with my whelen using 4895, dacron filler, and the Lee 200g boolit. Quick load predicts 1664 fps at 12760 psi. I was really worried that was a little too slow and was...

three44s -I set my full length die to the shellholder and then backed the die off a little. this was my first attempt at a build without the correct gauges. My thinking was to allow a little space...

Sorry it took so long to get back. Things have been crazy here.

No doubt that I caused of the problem. There is only .012" difference in the shoulder length of the 2 cartridges so I took a...

I hope this will help someone else who is having failure-to-fire problems.
I decided that I REALLY NEEDED a rifle in 7 T/CU. I don't believe there are any factory bolt rifles in that caliber...

That's what I was afraid of but was hoping for a different answer.
Thanks everyone

I just received a new barrel for a Savage rifle in 7 TCU. I didn't think about the gauges till the barrel arrived. Can I use 223 gauges? If not, is there a work-around. It looks like gauges will...

Country Gent - I like the syringe idea

waksupi -Would Acraglas from Brownells be a better choice? The $30 price for a pound of Devcon looked pretty attractive.

I do plan on fully bedding the action, probably with devcon 10110. Thanks for all the cautionary advise, I really would not want to disassemble it with a hatchet.

Great info!!

Country Gent , now I'm undecided again. I have a drill press, but no press vise so I am a little leery of getting the pillar holes straight with the action, other than that it seems pretty straight...

This is for a hunting rifle at ranges under 200 yd so it sounds like I can just bed the action and forget the pillars.
Thanks

I'm a newbie on restocking a rifle and am considering a Richard's laminate stock for a Savage 111. Is there any appreciable benefit to pillar bedding laminate? My understanding is that it doesn't...

I was finally able to get back to the range between rain, wind, chores and the other things life throws at us. I did find a couple more rounds that loaded with difficulty. I brought them home and...

Bullets are not seated past the neck, and the neck reaming should have taken care of a donut but I will definitely take a look at that point.

wv109323 - I had a #1 several years ago that I got rid of also. I think a 3" group at 100 yd was the very best it ever did with any bullet, jacketed or cast. This one shoots the Lee soup can at...

sized cases chamber without a problem. case shoulder length should be ok, and they are trimmed to length.
fired neck diameter is larger than loaded neck diameter so it should not be binding at the...

I'm bumfuzzled by this one. Ruger #1 in 275 Rigby, 130g Lee Soup can boolit sized to .287". Some of the cartridges don't want to fully enter the chamber. The last eighth or sixteenth of an inch...

I was shooting the Lee soup can 130g over 4831SC. It was cast from range scrap from a pistol berm, water dropped with a bhn of about 14 lubed with Simple Lube. Quick load said it was over 2100 fps. ...

My son (now there's a good child) presented me with a Ruger #1 in 275 Rigby (7x57 Mauser). A beautiful grey laminate with stainless receiver and barrel in 12 twist for cast shooting. (Such a good...

thanks for the info. It was what I was looking for

I just checked the net for 22 LR sub-sonic. I found 2 sources, Aguila at 30 cents a round and CCI at 50 cents per round!! I must have lost my mind, fallen down a rabbit hole, and transported to an...
