Changing primers

Hi guys I have been developing my load for .204 using Rem 7 1/2 primers (Win brass, BL-C(2) and 39g SBK). I was advised to try out some CCI BR4 primers to see if I could improve accuracy further. I have not yet had chance to test out the BR4's compared to the Rem's and have completely run dry of Rem...

Re: Silencer replacement - will it affect barrel harmonics?

Thanks Ken. I presume you reload and have fine tuned accuracy, that being the case do you find any group size difference when swapping the mods on say your best, most accurate rifle?
I am hoping to test soon but the weather may keep me at bay until next weekend!! :eek:
Cheers,

Anyone accurately tested the effects of seating depth

Hi guys Has anyone (keeping all of the variables the same) tested the effect of COAL on accuracy? If so what did you discover? I know that many people seat the bullets well out to COAL in excess of 2.30" but many stick to factory length too both seem to have accurate results. So I am interested...

Re: Brass choice - does it make any difference?

Thanks mate.
Think I may just get some Win or Rem next time as they are less than half the price of Hornardy!! :eek:

Brass choice - does it make any difference?

Hey guys I am currently getting good results using Hornardy brass at the moment but due to them costing twice that of Winchester and Remington I am going to test the idenical load in some other cases to see if there are any variations. In fact the Hornardy brass is almost the same price as buying co...

Full length vs neck sizing

This is probably more of a general reloading query but I am using .204. ;) From experience have you found that you get more accuracy from FL resizing or neck sizing? I am new to reloading and am gaining experience as often as I can. I would imagine that FL resizing would be more consistent as the ca...
