    FL Resizing Neck Issue

    Funny thing, I've actually had this same issue with my 284 win. It was puzzling for sure. I was using Hornady dies so a call to Hornady got this straightened out. I was going to suggest measuring from base to shoulder and screwing the die in a little further, but looks like you figured it out. 👍

    Medical Scare

    There was really no specific reason anyone could find to cause it. Cholesterol is good, blood pressure is good, no blockages or anything. I had a follow-up on Monday and was told that sometimes it can just happen as a random isolated event. I haven't had any symptoms since last Monday, so I'm...

    Medical Scare

    On Monday evening I had what is apparently called a TIA - Transient Ischemic Attack. All I knew was that largely out of the blue the left side of my face, eye especially, was burning and itching for no reason and I couldn't walk right, talk right, and I had to concentrate to do anything with my...

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    My 280AI with a 26" barrel will push this bullet a little over 2900fps with pretty good accuracy - about .75MOA. This is using Reloder 23, however, which seems to about as easy to find as pterodactyl eggs these days.

    Ramshot Big Game Reviews?

    This is true. It's kind of annoying. This was much worse in the old Hornady auto-charger I used to have, but better in the RCBS. Last time I used RS powder I just worked with a manual powder thrower and a trickler to top it off.

    Mountain Rifle Caliber? Ya- I know...

    It ain't sexy but the .308 is hard to beat for light weight, general purpose, pull off the backpack and shoot stuff on a mountainside from WT deer to elk. I've said it before, but there's not any one area in which the .308 really stands out, it's just that it does everything well.

    Pressure sign/load development question

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're shooting groups less than .4" groups you're surely doing something right. Most of my most accurate loads tend to be pretty hot, showing flattened primers and the like. I'd recommend you get some velocity data. From my experience, loads that are...
