All my reloads are brass cases, S&B, Hornady, PMC, Norma and Fiocchi. This has not been an issue with Hornady brass as the primer pocket uses Small Rifle.
Wet tumbled with pins, Hornady case cleaner, dehydrator dried and cases sit for two days. Lubed with Unique case lube, resized, wet tumble cleaned again, dehydrated and fully dried before priming.
Primers kept in cool dry place cabinet, temp and humidity controlled.
Primers we’re fully seated. I’ve noticed that Norma brass has very tight primer pockets. Tough to tell when it’s fully seated, but I look for flush to just below flush to the case
How long of a firing delay? I’ve No way to measure it, but it’s probably about 0.1 -0.2 seconds. Just going to have to experiment and do process of elimination. I noticed it at the range the other day. It was unusual
Recently loaded some 7.62 x39 using IMR 4198 powder and Federal large rifle primers, 123 SP Berrys plated bullets. Shooting in a Ruger American Ranch rifle that has performed flawlessly thus far with factory ammo and my reloads. The last batch of reloads resulted in delayed detonation (hang...
I recently purchased a RCBS Chargemaster Link for use with stick powders as my Hornady powder measure usually hangs up with stick powders. The Chargemaster link works very well with stick powders, but with ball powder, there is a lot of “bouncing balls” spillage bouncing out of the powder pan...
I thought I had this problem on my Hornady powder drop. Then I noticed the numbers fluctuating on my Hornady digital powder scale. It was drifting up and down a significant amount. Tried another scale and my problem went away. I might get some slight increase (up to 0.2 grains) on some...
I’m sure the colonists followed the kings rules too. Just saying.
I just keep primers and powder separated in separate cabinets in a controlled environment. Yes, when I see them at a reasonable price, I buy them.
Primers at $25 per brick? No longer at retail. Those days are LONG GONE. Will you see gasoline at 37 cents a gallon? Yep, long gone. You may see primers at $75 per brick of 1000 retail. Inflation is real
CZ 457 if you can spend around $500 for a bolt action rifle. Even if it’s magazine fed, you should be able to shoot well with any bolt action 22. Semi auto rifles do tend to gulp ammo because most shooters simply can’t contain themselves. That’s one reason why I prefer shooting revolvers to...
So the variation I’m seeing is 69 grain .223 BTHP. For giggles, I weighed in some Hornady 73 grain ELDM bullets and saw variation from 72.9 to 73.3. Probably not a big deal, so To experiment, I segregated the Hornady ELDM bullet weight and loaded some test rounds over 20.8 grains of AR Comp...
I’ve noticed with some bulk bullets that weight can vary up to +/- 0.5 grains. Question is does that really matter with rifle accuracy? I would think it probably would have some impact on bullet dispersion for a given rifle load. Wondering if anyone out there has experimented with slight...
