Buy them whilst you can, they've "improved" it with a new model thats crap.

I use one of their early single primer primers with screw in shellholders for loads that I really need to feel the primer seating, for most priming I use an RCBS hand and bench primers, tube and strip. Mind you I do like the tube primers on my Redding T7 press and the single priming on the Redding Ultramag is great for hard to seat primers. The priming on the Forster Co-Ax is very accurate but fiddley to set up.

Right,got back from the range earlier and on the whole im happy with my reloads.Apart from one round which somehow i'd managed to under charge they were good.Only fired at 50mtrs because i just wanted to see what they grouped like and will be intresting next time im at Barton road.Recoil wise pretty much the same as Privi.

That is fine shooting for 50m, certainly I would be pleased with those results, were you using open sights and what weight bullets?

Good starting point, with some intelligent load development they should tighten up nicely. for the longer ranges.

Open sights and a 174grn Privi bullet.A fellow club member had a go and despite his scepticism with using a light load-he was impressed.

This is probably my best shooting i did a while back.Five rounds with my 1944 K98 (7.92) ,2" target,open sights,56 year old milsurp,but at only 25mtrs this time.Three rounds through one hole!

Nice one Steve - looking good

So you didn't 'try'..you 'did'

Let us know how the tweeks go......

Evening Gents,

If you want a proper "nail gun" do a google search on "cox's bolt gun" they have a fearsome reputation, pretty much relics these days but still an available tool, if you're brave enough. Had one on a job once , I was site foreman so left it to the boys.

Frightening...diving is so dangerous in any case. Know an old RN diver...some of the stories one hears.

Saw one recounted on TV a few years ago ... a diver who got his hand stuck in an outlet pipe from the engine room whilst making underwater repairs. Ship owner would not authorise flooding engine room to equalise pressure. An improvised seal from the inside was worked but only after several hours and a traumatised/brave diver.

Not for me!

:(

Does either full length resizing and neck sizing only make any differences to accuracy? Was wondering this yesterday so made up a box with same powder weights,but this time full length sized.

Also,when i resize the neck-will this alter accuracy if the bullet is tighter/looser? I've also read where people will sometimes not seat the bullet as deep as it should be so what does this do?

(im gonna end up boring you all to death soon). :lol:

I would recommend consistency ... ie same brass, same primers, same powder and weight....all full length resized or all neck sized.
