Thanks everyone. I do prep my brass well and carefully measure. I have never had an issue with neck tension. (I will review neck tension). I am just looking for consistency and a fast way to seat bullets. The way I currently seat takes much longer then I believe necessary.
The fact that the...
Does anyone have experience with the Franklin Universal Die?
I am considering one because I am having difficulty maintaining the correct seating deph and the kit covers a broad spectrum of calibers.
The more I read and learn on Rokslide the more precise I want to be. I have not been able to...
Been following the Neck size versus full length resize debate for awhile on both this and other forums. I neck size and have been for decades. When I was first learning reloading I was taught to neck size.
My rifles all shoot very well when neck sized although there are a few other variables...
I have been shooting a 7mm mag for decades. Have no idea the number of firings per case. I just put fired cases in a plastic box and reload as needed. I only have about 50 cases left out of a hundred or so due to loss while hunting.
Bought about six boxes of federal ammo and have been using it...
I'm in the same boat. I don't count firings and I am not terribly organized. The only thing I do is place fired cases in a plastic storage box and reload from this box as needed. I have brass that I have been rotating for 25 years. Have had few split necks, maybe two.
Most of my shots are...
My TC encore frequently stays loaded for 4 or 5 days. Always goes off. However were I on a western hunt I would reload every morning. Why risk the chance it does not go off. I have been shooting muzel loaders over forty years. Have only had two misfires with modern inliners but at least a dozen...
I would agree that few people use them these days. In fact few even know what they are. I beleive they are the first conversion kit made by knight.
The MK 85 always felt good in my hands and was very effective. I made some great shots with it and killed some nice bucks. Nostalgia is the main...
Udate: bought two packets of the small primer adapters which gives me about 30 adapters total. Since they are good for at least 20 loads apiece (frequently more) I should be set. There are 4 packets left. Anyone interested in these adapters should buy soon as they are extremely rare.
People get emotional about their pets. I was once cornered in my tree stand while bow hunting for half an hour. No side arm and no bear spray. This was a mixture of what I would call a friendly bunch of neighborhood dogs but not after they packed up "they were hunting."
Still I would not shoot...
Sorry for your bad experience. I would suggest that it is the minority that are giving the negative experience. I know to a certain extent it happens in every state. I also know there are a lot of good people in Idaho. It's just the negative ones that stand out and get remembered the most.
I am...
