  1. that is the primer anvil. These primers are made that way so you seat the anvil into the cup while you seat the primer. I have load and shot more of these primers in all kinds of guns....there is not an issue. primers should not be high when seated and its not the primers if they are.

  2. I would suggest that you shoot a 10 round group and see if thats a "flyer" or just part of the larger group. It could be wind. My money would be on "shoot more and its part of the group..." Statistically speaking 3 rounds give you very very little, 5 rds gives you a little, 10 rds starts to tell the real story.

  3. While its always important to pay attention to seating depth, in most cases it matters little unless you are at the high end of pressure. Seathing bullets deep or into lands will raise pressures. With solid bullets you have to be careful as jaming them will get your pressures up quick as solids will generate pressure more than a traditional bullet.

  4. Without knowing more i think he was attempting to keep things rolling and wanted the shooters to be ready when they got to the line. If you wanted to make sure things were working etc, you would do that in the safe area. I dont think the intent was for you to have to switch power on your scope on the clock.

  5. what ever you decide to do you can always require some sort of practical demonstration for new shooters under the supervision of an experienced shooter in an attempt to mitigate the possibility of shooitng rounds out of the impact area. You can stop and DQ shooters who fires a shot outside the impact area. You can search surface danger zone and use calculations for sdz's like we do in the military, not sure what FM it is but i would search live fire exercises. It all depends on what you are shooing and how far the bullets go. I will tell you that we had to watch things to make sure when setting up stages that bullets went down range and between the range markers on many occasions.

  6. At my old club in El Paso we would do a 120 second max time on our stages to keep things going. Keep in mind that the average time for a stage was 40 seconds or so. We would have guys show up with guns that would not run or shotguns that would not take down the steel and they would keep shooting, and shooting, and shooting, and shooting. It gets hot in the summer, like 110+ and we wanted to get done and get beer down before it got too hot.

  7. It has nothing to do with 1-9, i have a 24" 1-9 on a winchester that i can shoot 40-80g bullets through. .223 bolt guns in general can be a little finickey about getting to feed and eject (rem, win, savage) and sometimes it has something to do with bullet OAL and shape. I would look at your scope and rings etc. as well as paralax. If you dont get your paralax correct then you gun is not going to shoot. Your scope could also be broken; what scope are you running? If all else fails you can try to send the rifle back... or skim bed the action and first 1-2" of barrel. Its also very possible your stock to action fit is not so great. You could have loose action screws... if you did not pull the aciton out of the stock do that and wipe the oil out of the stock and off the action, sometimes they come from the factory that way and an oiley action will not shoot all that well.....cant think of anything else at the moment. I would expect 1.5 MOA or so what that gun or a little better with 5 shot groups.

  8. go with a faster rifle powder. With 4895 or rl15 you are going to have quite the fireball. Look at some fired cases and if you see lots of suit on the necks then the powder is too slow. It will work. I would look into 10x, h335, 2230 etc and give someting in that range a try.
