308 recoil When I was 19 and skinny, I shot a British 303 from prone and it HURT I fired my twenty and walked away thankful Now, 40 years later, I have two of em and I fire sitting position and I am 200 lbs - it's easy as long as I rotate my thumb to the right ! I think prone...

Like alot of guys I eventually read the instructions when I get really stuck - yes I emailed them yesterday and said there are a lot of people reporting stiffness in both the bolt action and the mag feed. I will see what they say. I really like the rifle itself but even the appearance of the...

I have had a CZ 22 LR for 2 years and love it - so bought a CZ 527 in 223/5.56 the Matt barrel is tough looking but not my fav - however what has me ready to throw it in the Columbia is the stiff cartridge feed ! I bought a spare mag and used wet and dry sandpaper inside the mag - no use...

A rifle behind every blade of grass doesn't mean much to a nuclear opponent. Israel with it's 7 million population and nuclear arsenal would quite willingly attack Iran with nuclear weapons whether every Iranian had an AR-15 or not. The rifle behind every blade of grass is valid for the 1930's...

View from the fence I am a Citizen of the USA and a Citizen of Britain and I was an officer of a gun club in England and I am a member of a gun club in the USA. I got my first British Firearms Certificate in 1964 and I served as a Police Officer in the England for 6 years. That should...

Noted ! I have the 22 LR CZ and I love it so I have ordered the 527 and it arrives next Monday ! Bought it at Buds for a super price.

I specifically asked Midway customer services about the riser this morning and they said it was only for progressives and I would not need it on a 4 die classic There are so many configurations possible that I think they have lost track themselves My fault for being tight as the riser is a...

wow that's a great post - I will copy that to my manual folder Don't worry about condescending coz I have never turned away advice - I drink it all up and nod politely through the bits I do know. It's the only way to do it... Information is the currency of power as it said on my calender I...

I know that getting the right and consistent seating will affect accuracy, but providing I have reasonably secure seating, (this test bullet is seated very strongly and I cant wobble it) I guess safety/gun damage will not be affected if it is sat a little deep ? I get the feeling I am only...

ok so I will leave the collet die out and use only the full length die... That will leave me with FL/auto powder/bullet seat and finally crimp - all 4 in one turret most of my brass will be from my rifles but I will have AR-15 and a CZ bolt action 223's and some cases from the range so it...

yes it's like painting or replacing roof shingles - it's all prep... Looks like a lot of lot of preventing rifle damage is getting all the case dimensions right and having it clean with no swarf just seated a test bullet with no powder /primer in... I compared to a commercial unfired...

ok looks good - I already had the chamfer tool and the primer pocket cleaner I have a vari speed drill so this looks good.. hopefully I am near the end of the beginning. I suppose a full length sizer just means it sizes the full length of the case 'for width' and cannot adjust the case...

I bought some lee resizing lubricant...it says use it inside the case neck using a cotton swab.. I just called Midway and asked whether the powder fulling die needed a riser to be bought separately to actuate the lee pro auto disk measure After a long time and input from the back office ...

Flashhole and Randy P that is great advice too.. The hand charging looks a quick way to do a small batch of my 303 Brit when I get some dies. I will read and learn and no way is the wrong powder or too much powder going in there. I will fill and refill my test case (after cleaning) and...

yes i took the dies apart.. My mother used to say that if I had a pig, I would kill it to see where the squeal came from.. I reckon you have this tube identified and it is the bullet seating die insert I have put it in there with the open end down to accept the bullet tip and yes it...

many thanks I am in no rush so I will certainly dig and dig until the problems give in. The thing has gotten me worked up now so I will spend time and energy to understand it. I think I will have one turret with both the 'full length' and the 'neck sizer' dies mounted and seat the primer...

many thanks getting there slowly I have some good scales and the book and i will proceed slowly and back test the loaded powder weights etc... I will buy the powder locally and take the gunsmiths recommendation on primers and powder glad I mounted the press to a board which is clamped...

I will take your advice on that ! dont want a bullet stuck in the barrel on my ar-15 I have a CZ 223 bolt action 527 arriving tomorrow so i will be trying my reloads on that first I should be done and have my first round ready by easter at this rate I think I am short a powder loading...

ok that explains that ! I have a 'full length' sizer and a 'collet neck sizer' I guess i will use the neck sizer and not use the full length So first position is the neck sizer which also pops the primer out That leaves me with one die which is the dead length bullet seating die the...

Thanks guys .... I have tried it a few ways up but noluck yet At least I have mounted the press nicely with thick wood which is countersunk for the bolt heads underneath and then clamped to the work table I have the deluxe 3 die set for 223 and two of the dies have the primer cap removal...
