Looking up at the top of the trigger and bolt release button, there is no space on the right side of the trigger guard but there is on the left side. In other words, the trigger and bolt realease button are not centered in the trigger guard. Is that normal? Thanks.

I had a gunsmith install a timney trigger in a remington 700. There is slight more resistance when lifting the bolt and just a slight bit of sticky drag when pulling the bolt back. Is the timney possible pushing against the bolt a little more with a tighter fit? Thanks.

I am a little confused on why one would purchase a #501 without saftey vs a #510 with safety. The #501 requires use of factory safety and bolt release. Why would some get the 501 over the 510 and cause more work??? Thanks...

I have a remington 700 SPS Tactical that has a Hogue stock. Shoots great with reloads. I am thinking of putting a timney trigger in it. I have read that you might need to inlet the stock and widen the trigger shoe. Anyone know if inletting the Hogue stock on this gun will be necessary...

I have found a couple of loads that are pretty accurate for my bolt action .223. I didn’t worry about trying to figure out seating depth off the lands while doing that. I now have found that on one bullet I am about .055” of the lands and on another bullet I am about .025” off the lands. Here...

FL sizing my .223 brass causes it to lengthen by 6/1000s as compared to what it measured immediately before resizing? Is that about normal? Add the 3/1000s it grows from just firing the brass and that means I have to trim brass after every firing, since I FL size after every firing. If the...

I know max saami spec is 2.260". I have my die set up for 2.220 for one bullet. I bought some 55 gr v-max. Without adjusting the seating die, the OAL with the v-max bullet is 2.300" The round chambers fine in my rifle and is not touching the lands. That OAL seems awfully long. Are there...

I had spoken to a few guys about neck sizing and discussed it a little here on this board coming away with a consensus that neck sizing would increase accuracy. After firing six rounds that were first FL sized, I neck sized those rounds and shot them out of the same bolt action rifle. Accuracy...

i trimmed some 223 brass to 1.750. When chamfering and deburring, i did a little too much and a few cases ended up at 1.742. What is too short? Any issues with these. Thanks.

I have some 69 gr sierra BTHP match king bullets I am going to seat tomororw. If I understand correctly, max COAL for .223 is 2.260". The Sierra manual shows COAL for this bullet to be that max of 2.260". Most other bullets I see are recommended shorter COAL. Don't I want to back off on the...

Speer's manual says they use it with magnum primer. Hodgdon told me Speer uses magnum primers for all ball powders. Hodgdon told me magnum primers were not necessary. What are people's experiences? Thanks.

I am talking about .223 bolt action rifle here. Ok, I am almost ready to start resizing. I have some once fired brass from factory ammo that I will experiment with between the three types of sizing. Once I have it all figured out, then I’ll start using some new Winchester brass I bought...

Do I need to do this to brass that is not trimmed? Thanks.

Can I find out the max length my brass can be in my specific chamber by starting with brass at 1.760" (assuming the chamber meets SAAMI specs), seeing if it will chamber and keep trying brass that is .001" longer until it will not chamber? Is it that easy? And then I'll know what I don't want...

Getting ready to start reloading a bolt action in .223. From what I understand in determining max cartridge length if ignoring the magazine, I think what I should do is size a case, lightly put a bullet in it by hand, put it in the chamber, slowly close and lock the bolt, and slowly remove the...

After every time I use it? Thanks.

All the manuls I read show the brass with a length of 1.760 but tell you to trim it to 1.750. I don't understand why you are supposed to trim it down below 1.760. Could someone explain? Thanks.

I was planning on getting an RCBS neck sizing die. Then I saw a couple of places recommend the Le collet necksizing die. Lee's website sure makes it sound good, but would I notice a diferrence in accuracy between it and RCBS? I was just planning on all things RCBS. Thanks...

Sierra's manual lists COAL as 2.260". Hodgdon's Website data shows 2.235". Why the diferrence? Thanks.

I am going to start reloading for .223. One guy recommended working loads in 0.1 grain increments. That would seem to take forever. Another guy recommended 0.3 grain increments. Also, I have been told to start at minimum load and also to start in the middle of the range. Any advice would be...
