I normally anneal the big stuff like the .338, .50cal and the 20mm but I've never annealed the 30-.221. I've got some cases that have been fired at least 12 times since conversion from .223 to the 30...

Mini Mauser Reminton 799's work well. I've done quite a number of them.
Unfortunately they are pretty hard to find now that remington quit importing them from Zastava.

CZ527's work really well....

First thing is to check the crown and make sure its clean, even and centered. Any deviation can cause problems.

you pretty well got it. cut to near proper length, run through the sizing die(lubed), trim and neck turn. Should be good.

One of the main reasons everyone is using BR brass...either 7mm, 6mm or 30 cal, is because the benchrest brass is more consistant in thickness and also because it uses small rifle primers where the...

one thing the books don't teach is that books are great for theory but don't always work in real life. Once you get below the speed of sound the stability rules change. This is the reason why...

Are you sure that its not the necks stopping the chambering? What brass are you using? Some types have thicker brass that interferes. Otherwise I'd check on what the chief asked, are you getting the...

In my opinion pressing the ribs out is a lot more difficult and likely to damage the mag. All that metal has to go somewhere when you squish it. Its not likely to go back where it came from so your...

I think that anything over 16" doesn't really gain you anything other than a little safety in legal barrel length. Anything under means you have to register it as a short barreled rifle. So my...

I've tried 4198 but only in the bolt actions. Its ok but 2400 has been much better for consistancy and N110 too. I've been using 2400 or Lil'gun to run the SIG. It works fine but its not an AR so...
