Removed inverted primers dozens of times for reuse.Last month I inadvertedly fired a round with a inverted primer and "CLICK".My surprise when it didn't ignite with the firing pin strike.

Great.All of them seem to shoot well,right out of the box.Bought mine because of the left port,but didn't expect it to shoot a .333 with factory ammo.Waiting for a report with your bullets.

I would wait on the winchester brass.Thought you needed it pronto.

I have once fired Hornady brass.Don't know how many pieces right now(not in the cave).I'll ship TYD in US for $50 per 100ct.

Good move Dan.You have it right for chamber length.Once you measure(average three tries),trim .010 below this measurement.You may find your brass is to short to get to within .010 of chamber length.I just square off the necks (to a uniform length)after the first fireing,when this happens.

Interesting. I will have to get the gauge soon - coz I reckon I'll shoot much better knowing the throat length for sure :lol: Plus I have been wondering if maybe mine has a shorter throat. Have a little trouble closing the bolt sometimes and guessed this may be one reason? And I haven't bought any ...

A tip for happines:Get all the gun stuff before you marry her.There will always be more needed,but she'll be partially trained by then.Yeah,Right!! I was hoping her dad would have trained her years ago - he's a keen shooter. At least he's got my back, and he's another mate to shoot with. IMO,a good...

I ordered one of the chamber gauges for each of my bolt actions. More little bits to keep track of and play with. :) :lol: I use to think all I needed was a press, dies, and powder thrower. But thanks to this forum my girlfriend now cringes every time a new parcel rocks up with my new toys. I NEED ...

How do you go about checking chamber length? I've got the hornady tool for checking "to lands" measurements, but that's not with fire formed brass. And, as Rick said, nothing to do with chamber length. Only two ways.A chamber cast,or this sinple little tool.Size a case,cut off about 1/2 t...

The best way to know, is to use a Sinclair case length gage ($7) for each caliber you have.Most virgin brass is short,Often shorter than published trim to length, in the manualst.Most factory 204r have long throats,however My Ruger #1 has a shorter throat than my other two (TC and Savage),allowing m...

Here's a read on the subject.Doesn't look goood for Varminters.

So many choices,so little time.I'm a 20guy and am having a ball with my 20 Ackley Bee.I wish one of my 204s was a 20VarTarg.And can think of a few others.When you start loading,you will know.Now standby for the 17 guys to jump in.My eyes are so bad,I cant see the 17cal bullets when I drop them on t...
