Yeah getting to the point of buying a reloading kit. Unfortunatly the one I had lined up didn't work out so now I am on the look out but may just say bugger it and buy new. I have a few hundred american eagle cases on hand now. I suppose these have the primer pocket so depending on the success on d...

agreed but one is too hard to find and the other is too bloody expensive considering it cant do anything the taipan cant do for half the price

Trevor.T,He has said that the case is contacting at the datum point................so a neck die wont do anything,rechamber wont do anything,sounds like a hot load in a front locki...

just checked that lengths vary a little but under max

last half of bolt is uncumfortable tight to lower but possible
fire and extraction is ok

had this problem a while ago and thought i was on top of it but not so ok 6.5x55 swede highland brass FLS shoots perfectly but when i go to neck size the cases are tight to chamber ? have candled a case and its bearing on the middle of the shoulder ? have tried lyman neck die and lee collet neck die...

i personally run 2 projectile weights, 85-87gn and 117-120gn both weights have a good number of choices 85gn nosler bt is awsome but hte taipan 87gn HP equals it for half the price if you can find any 117gn hornady SST is great accurate and good killer currently searching for a cheaper option used t...
