Because the midlength gas system length offers smoother action cycling and better handling than the carbine system. The little extra distance closer toward the muzzle reduces gas port pressure which allows the action to stay cooler and gas port erosion is minimized compared to carbine system.

I designed and commissioned MBC to cast and sell the 180gr WFN bullet. With Hodgdon data for the 180gr Nosler bullet, you won't run into pressure issues. The Lee manual has cast data for 200gr bullets that will be fine to use with the 180gr bullet.

I don't care for it. It doesn't gain you anything that another powder can't already do and to be real useful you need to venture beyond the published loads to get anything decent out of it. Should have stayed an OEM powder instead of entering the canister powder realm.

No one has ever had criminal charges brought against them or been convicted or been put in prison for loading ammunition for others with compensation. I'd like someone to prove it otherwise.

I say get a .358 Winchester and shoot cast bullets. Don't get hung up on velocity. Jacketed bullets need high velocity to do the work of slower cast bullets.

Unfortunately not as successful as cast bullets have always been.

The JHP was developed by SuperVel company and their marketing strategy to get law enforcement sales was to create an overblown proportion of pass-throughs in police shootings using FMJ bullets. The agencies bought into it and now that's the standard defensive bullet style today.

3/8-16 tpi tap in the primer pocket with a seated bullet makes for a nice tap handle that sells for $15 on eBay. I've sold untold thousands.

People that complain about prices in any market are the same that think they are entitled to a certain price.

Never heard of "bill pay". Cashier checks and postal money orders have worked fine for years.

Variables that cause and prevent leading: Alloy hardness and bullet obturation Bullet sizing Lube quality and quantity Powder selection Bore condition It takes a certain pressure and velocity in order for a gas check to perform its best. A great majority of the time it's not needed, but is a...

The .223 Remington was not developed for use with ball powder. It was developed for use with extruded powder.

Yes. Jeff Hoffman reloaded the ammunition for his police department using a Dillon 1050 in his garage. That's how he/it got started.

Investment for one set of machines and tooling for one bullet and load will be north of $500,000 with all those machines. Best thing at this point is to contact Silver State Armory. They have a consultation staff that can help you.

Die brands are like truck brands. They all have their quirks and benefits. I have used several different brands over the years. There is no perfect die brand. I've used Lee, RCBS, Dillon, and Redding. I use Redding nearly exclusively. I like Lee's universal decapping die and their collet...
