Thanks for the replies. I was thinking I might need to give them more jump like the X bullets seem to like. If the unusually warm weather holds for a couple more days, I might find out how the...

It gets some of the grunge out, about as much as it does from inside the case. I did that when all I had was corn and a vibratory bowl. But once I've uniformed primer pockets, I'd rather not have to...

I think Remington not producing components for other than their loaded ammo is more a business decision than a capacity question. I don't know how the math worked out but as the company got bigger...

Many/most of the "target" BR chambers are being cut with reamers that have parallel sides and don't cut the rim recess. The smith controls the depth of the chamber and thus the amount of engraving of...

Can you elaborate on how many cases you need to do at once and how often? Volume and speed pretty much dictate price point.

Best to call them. Their customer support has been very good in my experience. If the first person can't answer, I've always been passed up the chain to someone who can.

Regarding screw torque, 65 is on the upper end but should be OK if it is correctly pillar bedded. I usually run mine between 45 and 55.
Could be a 10 twist. I think 12 was standard. Ten would...
