In my Garand, I've reloaded a couple hundred HXP spent cases & have had good results with them. No problems whatsoever. Staked primer crimp was easy to remove, Just prepped the cases the same as always. I used 4064 & 760 powders & Sierra 168gr bullets.

My bench is lagged to the wall studs and has legs that angle from the front, down to the base of the wall. I don't have my press bolted to the benchtop, it's bolted to a 1" thick piece of oak board and the board is c-clamped to the benchtop. Anything that is normally bolted to the bench is...
I crimp all my rifle handloads using factory crimp dies. Been doing it for years. Using FCD's will provide consistant tension between the bullet and the case. I like factory crimp dies because they crimp straight in at 90 deg to the case. I can also adjust the depth of the crimp and FCD don't...
