Re: How to dispose of live primers

Hi I use the "teach them to swim in WD40". It kills the primer material. Any oil that is thin would do but WD40 is always handy to have around. If they are still seated in the cases simply spray into the case and let it sit for a while. After about a day you can just discard along with cas...

Re: Bushnell Elite 6500

I had one of these and have moved it on as a scope is a personal choice thing I guess. I could not get used to the eye relief distance on my rifles which now all have Nightforce scopes on them. I found I had a lot of trouble bobbing my head up and down backward and forward to find the right spot tha...

Re: RCBS Chargemaster Lite

Been using mine for a couple of years now and it seems to be a powder granule selective as the courser the powder the more often it tends to over throw a charge. Rel 22 for example will overthrow probably 8 out of 10 cases only slightly, but it does overthrow. Where as the 8208 type powders will thr...

Re: 204 projectiles

Hi Teepee, The beauty of your outfit is that you simply open it up to the AI and reset headspace and you are good to go again with the existing barrel. The throat area is virtually the main wear area. I had a standard 20.250 barrel that was getting a little iffy so had it opened up to the AI as well...

Re: 204 projectiles

Hi Teepee, I would have to say you must be right on the edge as I too got that same answer the Bergers will virtually turn to dust at any increased velocity than you are running.

Hi, anyone having blow up problem with Berger 50 and 55 grns HPBT projectiles blowing up been in contact with Berger and they tell me they are only designed for up to 3800fps. I have found that the Hornady 45 grn SP seem to hold together ok. Twist rate is 1 in 9 from a 20.250AI. Have tried some of c...
