    Winchester Large Pistol Primers (WLP)

    When my old lot runs out, may change brands. The quality has been poor at times, in their other primers. I have been using an old lot of WLP for many years in 45acp & 44 mag., no problems. In 2022, WSPM were defective for me. Google - "winchester defective primers" read. Then click "images"

    Odd markings on targets.

    Yes, tip melting. Blow by in the barrels starts it, then the friction from the air keeps the tip liquid till it hits the target @ 100 yards. My first 243 win was a well used 1965 Model 70 heavy barrel. Took 10 shots till it started grouping. The groove diameter was larger then the bullet...

    Beware of Vihtavuori Load Data.

    Beware of Vihtavuori Load Data.

    By SAAMI standards from a vented barrel, yes. By reloading data, No. Velocity/Load data is with longer barrels @ Hodgdon & VV. The barrel length has nothing to do with pressure, only velocity. A lead coated bullet is said to have less friction. This bullet makes for higher velocity over...

    First failure

    Seat minus expanded = neck tension. .472" - .4698" = .0022" The (#) pounds to move the bullet were recorded using a bath room scale. Made a wood lever to slowly apply pressure to the bullet nose. The highest pounds will be right before the bullet starts moving into the case. The...

    Over expanded brass

    They are scrap. This is why the were left at the range.

    First failure

    When a loaded round is sized, spring back of a lead bullet & the brass is at different rates. Brass springs back more. May leave a bullet loose in the case.
  16. 243winxb

    First failure

    Measure outside diameter of sized brass, before & after seating a bullet. The OD needs to get larger by a minimum of .002" after seating. Maybe try a Lee Undersized Carbide sizing die? Neck tensions, mixed brass- Test with dummy rounds, no primer or powder.

    Neck turning

    yes, i neck turn for some standard chambers. Lets start here first- Check current fl die for over working the necks. Measure OD of loaded rounds. Remove expander, size 3 brass. More then .004" smaller or more? Buy a fl bushing die like Redding type S. Dont want to buy another die...
