I have not but that is a good point. I may need to get my hands on some better measuring instruments to check bullets though.

I’m finding that some of my bullets are not concentric in the cases. It’s not really visible but when gauging loaded rounds one side of the bullet may rub on the case gauge. Some do it, some don’t. My current setup is a Hornady lock n load AP with: Station 1 – Lee sizing die (I have also used a hornady sizing die and Lee U die with no change to my concentricity issue) Station 2 – PTX using the hornady expander insert Station 3 – MBF bullet feeder die Station 4 – Redding competition micrometer seating die Station 5 – Redding micrometer taper crimp die The flare on the expanded cases looks concentric by eye and measures the same diameter no matter which orientation I measure it. The flare on the case contacts the inside of the seating die but is not too tight. I have tried removing the spring from the seater die. Loading to 1.180 OAL, 0.421 crimp. Current batch of brass is mixed once fired. Acme 200gr RN bullets. Not sure what to change to correct this but I assume it must be something with my bullet seater. Any advice to troubleshoot?

I load 4gr of wst. 3.9 makes major in my gun but cuts it close. I load 1.18 oal and am loading acme hitek coated 200gr RN.

Thank you! There is a Holiday Inn right where 270 and 55 cross. $100 a night and looks to be a clean place. Perfect.

I'm heading down to Kansas to visit family then to St. Louis for a few days of vacation this summer and am looking for hotel recommendations that are in a nice and safe area. I don't need a 5 star hotel, it's just a bed and shower. I have looked near the St. Louis airport figuring hotels would be in a safe area. Hotels are around $200 a night, not too bad. Also found the River City Casino hotel for $160 a night. No clue if that is a decent area. I might be interested in staying in the suburbs to save some cash on the hotel but I don't want to end up in an area I will get mugged or have to run over protesters. Found some hotels in Festus right on I-55 and over in Waterloo. Are those areas OK or should I avoid them? Any input would be appreciated. Also, any advice on things to see and do would be great. Already planning to see the brewery and City Museum.

Moly resin comes in matte clear. No clue if applying it over hydro dip would work or not.

I don't reload lead shot and don't know much about it but I use a felt spacer in my waterfowl loads. I use a 20ga spacer which fits inside of the wad on my 12ga loads.

Yeah, find a published load that uses the primer you want to use.

No that should be fine. Just that substituting primers can increase pressures.

Another vote for this. Pick a load and use what the recipe says or you could be very sorry.

A lot of duck hunters say eezeox or however you spell it keeps rust off stuff without leaving a residue. Never used it but might be worth looking into for your dies.

Yes, if you have Dx1 set to 10 feet. Found the manual and posted after the one you quoted.

I just found the user manual online. PF is always calculated at Dx1.

That thread is a good read.

Yes, I have mine set to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet but it will only calculate average, PF and KE at the muzzle. You have to calculate it yourself if you use the 10ft distance. At least I haven't figured out how to make it calculate all that stuff at 10 ft. 128 was your 10 shot average but at a match they only chrono 3. Plus your powder might be hotter or colder at a match. You're going to sub minor eventually.

I use 10ft too. Sucks that you can't set the labradar to calculate for you at 10ft instead of the muzzle. Also 128 is cutting it too close of you ask me.

Vibra prime works great for me.

Overnight with treated corn cob. Its clean way before that but I don't want to listen to it run.

Bill posted on Facebook that you can ask to switch squads to shoot with your friends. He gave an email address to do it.

Make sure the spring under the firing pin stop plunger is in right. Probably jammed in the hole sideways.

Thanks all.

Broke my front sight off and need to replace it. It's .100 wide but I can't measure the height because I don't have the top half that broke off. What height site do I need if I order a new one from dawson?

I did a whole gun through him. Very helpful guy and it turned out great.
