I said I have a tension gage, and then I said my tension gage did not measure tension, I said my tension gage was marked off in pounds, I said there was no conversion for tensions to pounds. I said there is a hydraulic bullet seating press. I said if they could find a gage that measured tensions...

Purchase a tension gage and then try to measure tension with it. There no such thing as too much bullet hold, I like the number 45 pounds, to get above 45 pounds a reloader has to know what he is doing. F. Guffey

Again, I was in NAPPA VALLEY, CAL at a flea market when I found a press in a booth that was selling industrial kitchen equipment. The dealer was advertising a juice press. I tried to explain to him it was a reloading press and then I went on to explain to him to be a juicer it would have to be...

I made a post in seating bullets, I seated bullets in a 7MM57 that exceeded the ability of all my bullet pullers, I did remove 2 but in the effort I rendered the bullets scrap. And then the post disappeared. I included the story about the biggest dear taken in Alabama; there were 4, three were...

My tension gages are marked in pounds, when manufacturers started building bullet seating devises with a gage they started with the gage that was marked off in pounds, they did not use a compound gage; that would be a gage that measured tensions and pounds and I do not ever wonder why. And they...

He was sizing 50 BMG cases, what ever he did before he started sizing did not aid in sizing. What ever he did locked the press up to the point he could not remove the case by lowering the ram. Lowering the ram was another problem, he was not heavy enough. There are other methods and or...

The caliper does not measure tension. F. Guffey

You guys can not measure cam over, it does not surprise me you can not measure flex. I have tension gages, my tension gages do not measure tension because my tension gages are marked in pounds. I waste my time going further but I also have deflections gages; my deflection gages measure IN...

I do not like to see a Lee fan shop where I shop. But there is nothing that can go wrong with a die, shell hold and press that I can not trouble shoot, repair or diagnose. A few years ago I decided I would help a friend with his case primer, seems he did not like the dents in the primer. I...

I want all the bullet hold I can get when measured in pounds. I have tension gages but none of them measure tension, they all measure in pounds. 45 pounds is a good number, I have a Dillon 550B, the tool heads have 4 positions, when I load on the Dillon I use a lockout die; meaning I have to...

Or there is a possibility reloaders are creating the problem with residue that is left on the case after tumbling. I had a once in a life time fix situation' a smith/reloader/builder had a problem with sizing 50 BMG cases. He heard wet tumbling was in fashion so he purchased one. It was about...

It is another one of things "I can not believe". I would like to take both actors in the video seriously but both claimed they could not corral the primers in a Rock Chucker press, after all these years? F. Guffey :

https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/turret-presses.865999/#post-11445997 Information that is always omitted is the new Rebel press a cam over press or a non cam over press? I sent a stack of instructions to Unclenick, I can assume he never received them, and then there is the...

A case gage has the ability to measure a fired case and a case that has been sized to minimum/full length sized. A reloader assumes the case is sized and returned to minimum length/full length sized. If the die is correctly adjusted and the die does not make it to the shell holder when sizing...

I built a 30 Gibbs, the Gibbs has a case neck length of .217". Most 30 Gibbs cases were formed from the 30/06 case. Forming 30 Gibbs cases from 30/06 cases shorten the case by .040". I understand the 30 Gibbs gets longer from the shoulder to the case head, I also understand the ability of the...

In the old days a few of use increased the length of the chamber neck and extended the throat. And then we formed 300 Weatherby cases to 300 Winchester cases with long necks. One of those rifles belongs to a reloader in Garland, Texas, for performance he would not trade the rifle for a Weatherby...

Again: I have cases that will never form a donut, I also have cases that will form a donut by design and I form cases for some chambers that form donuts before I ever get a chance to take them to the ranger. 'Donuts', that is a subject I am not allowed to talk about. That does not prevent me...

It is possible the Hornady shell holder is a loose fitting sheholder. I suggest you measure the deck height of the shell holders. If the deck height for the RCBS shell holder is correct you have other problems. F. Guffey

A bit loose on the RCBS shell holder makes the RCBS shell holder my favorite shell holder. Rational? I size cases that are minimum length/full length sized to + .014" to -.012" meaning I sized cases for long and short chambers. To accomplish this I have to be able to measure the length of the...
