RC Model RIP mate from the other side of the pond,I have only been loading about 7 years here in the UK, When I have any doubts with my reloading RC was the guy I would search for answers. He was a mine full of experience and a true gentleman to go with it. God bless him and his family.

steve4102 Hornady GO/NO GO guage. What's a Hornady GO/NO GO gauge? Sorry my mistake, Its a Wilson go/no go guage Size a few pieces of used fired brass. Check to see if they chamber and extract with ease in YOUR rifle. If they do not chamber, screw the sizing die into the press about 1/8 of...

Guys, I have been reloading about 4 years now,obviously still learning. Although,I have reloaded thousands of bullets,pistol and rifle, lately I have been getting problems firstly with my .223 rounds, the problem is that either I cant close the bolt,or if I manage the cases wont eject. but...

i use a similar tool as displayed.I have tried moving the die down until I get more than a kiss.for some reason the cases still do not chamber in the measuring tool or my rifle,but all others do,, strange huh.

On the last visit to my range 3 of a box of 50 would not chamber,I could not close the bolt. As they were previously neck sized I thought maybe it was time to run the batch through a full size die and that would solve the problem. I cleaned and full sized the 47,then proceeded to knock out the...

Hi guys,not sure how to word this,so please bare with me. Firstly which is the weak point when firing a rifle round, the brass or the breech.I have always assumed it to be the brass and the breech would have a factor of safety,say a few thousand psi. Lets assume I have bought a box of factory...

???? beats me

the biggest mistake new loaders make is not getting at least one good manual,,and reading it a few times before attempting to reload

thanks guys.I guess I was looking at things from a different angle.To be honest,I have always worked up my loads,but my way of thinking that if a gun can handle factory loads it could handle my loads which I though would be lower pressure.I did not consider different components being such a...

Hi guys,I have been reloading a few years,always building up the loads for my 308s and my 223. The question I would like to ask is if I or anyone else for that matter use factory loaded bullets,would those bullets be close or even near maximum pressure. If that is the case why is it neccesary to...
