Re: 204 Brass Issue
Federal brass loaded fine, btw... bullet/case friction was obvious. They shot kind of crummy though. concentricity was undetectable (rolled on a flat surface, with cartridge sihoetted against a lamp). Now to do some of the 4x fired for a comparison, see how they fee. I hate using "feel" to...

Re: Hornady 32 gr VMAx funky tips
Well, kinda crummy, maybe I'm too picky though. I couldn't get factory ammo to shoot better than about 5 inches. After 200 rounds of handloading I'm having a hard time breaking the 0.5" barrier. I've made lots of expensive and time consuming mistakes along the way, I figure this is just another...

Hornady 32 gr VMAx funky tips
Anyone shooting these? I've been loading exclusively with these and noticed that my last batch had a lot of funkiness around the plastic tip, maybe 1/10 are like this: 1) tip is popped up slightly (maybe .002") 2) jacket/tip joint has voids: imagine a sierra varminter hp bullet tip (rarely unif...

Re: .204 case holder question
...and I went ahead and bought a Wilson .204 holder. $8 for the holder, and another $8 to ship it slow UPS boat.

Re: How short is too short?
1.8275" for me, screwed up a mess of 'em before I realized that I messed up my home-fabricated Lee gauge/trimmer.
I don't have much of an accuracy round yet however, perhaps I ruined my life by doing that. Time will tell I guess as I work on the load....

Re: .204 case holder question
