Some brands of shell holders will accept 308 sized brass and 6.5x55. A few years ago I upgraded my shellholders and now use a RCBS #2 or a Redding E-Z #7 for the Swede. The Redding E-Z #7 will fit...

Are you using the correct shell holder? Ive struck this exact same issue when i first started reloading for a 6.5x55. I had the wrong shell holder, i got the right one and problem solved. ...

Are you using the decapping pin? Is there a lot of resistance on the up stroke? Try resizing without it. I use the same dies and while good it took a bit of mucking around to get them to work a...

I think the LRAB like a bit of jump from the reading I did, I used the 129 in my 6.5x55 and they killed very well the 142 should be good too. In my 260 I’m using the Sierra 130gn gamechanger with...

Well I finally got there but I feel aged from the process. Load sorted for the new 19" Tikka 260. As we all know, supply in certain areas for ammunition is very bad so ended up grabbing some 142...

I used my mates hornady one the other day, it did a good job with the hornandy solution in it. But I tried cleaning some other cases with detergent then a 1 hour soak in 50:50 vinager and water mix...

Your numbering system is interesting. you obviously aren't to ocd. Looks like the rifle likes those projectiles a fair bit. 6 does look good. Take em out to distance and look at the vertical spread...

I'm sure some good bugger will give you hand. Having someone physically take you through everything and demonstrate the how and why etc is definitely the way to kick-start reloading. Then the rest is...

Yep seating depth has a huge effect on grouping. As far as im aware its all to do with at which stage of the barrel harmonics that the bullet is exiting the muzzle. From the seating depth testing...

I'm also wondering if seating depth will effect velocity, as the deeper I seat the pills surely pressure and velocity will increase ? Then again maybe it will be negligible who knows ?

So with my model 70 270win I decided to have a crack. Out of curiosity I measured the distance to the lands with a hornady OAL gauge and got an average length of 2.780" which would normally see me...

So I'm trying something different. I have been watching Eric Cortina's vids on YouTube reference "chasing the lands" and how it's a really inaccurate method of working up a load. So for those that...
