I've been very happy with my 1969 and 1970 lots of Greek HXP 30-06 ammo (bought from CMP). My remaining supply has unfortunately not been stored very well for the past decade-ish, so I'm pulling it...

Perhaps so. The other fellow who found cardboard; that makes me think of floor sweepings.

Thanks!

No, I thought I already said (maybe I didn't) that I cannot be positive that the hits alternated according to which side of the clip the cartridge fed from. The gas cylinder is tight on the splines,...

I've had a vented gas plug for several years now. Recently I ordered the 'ported' plug from GarandGear. I'm happy with the ported plug. Part of me wants to rig a strain gauge somehow and use my...

That's very useful; thank you. The rifle was definitely supported in part under the handguard. It's a large gear/range bag, so it was all along under the main stock and the handguard.

No, this was one en bloc clip. The first two I was aiming elsewhere, until I found about where POI was vs. POA (this was load development with Lapua's 185-grain D-46 over AA4350, whereas I normally...

This was laying across a bag (not a sandbag, my range bag) out in the desert. The C&R matches are slung up (of course). While I do not say that this is not an aiming or position issue, it's almost...

The 3 shots on the paper, plus the 3 just off are all from the same string of fire. 100 yds, just testing a load. However, it does this with other ammo as well. In fact, in the last C&R match I...

The ProChrono Digital from Competition Electronics has served me and a few others I know well. It also seems to get the highest marks in 'head-to-head' testing. Competitively priced to boot. Going up...

I haven't the foggiest idea on any of them, but it's neat to see them and learn about them. Thanks for posting!

Thought I'd follow up to say that I went over to Dillon a while back and bought their swager. It worked. On a very few cases, the primers were still quite tight to seat, but they did seat and weren't...

Thanks for the reply, Bruce_in_Oz. I have the press-mounted RCBS, too. I'll make sure I'm using the multi-stroke procedure another poster mentioned.

FWIW, I have lots of Lee dies, too. Their...

Just double-checking here:
For those who have been less-than-satisfied with the RCBS tool-- Were you using the press-mounted tool, or the one which looks identical (from afar) to the Dillon?

Thanks for the help & input, fellows. I will keep eyes open for a Dillon swager on local sites. Or, maybe I'll give RCBS a call and see what they might have to say...? They've been helpful for me...

I have a fair amount of LC69 brass (30-06) that I want to reload for my M1. I'm having a lot of trouble with the primer pockets. I cannot get primers to seat without shaving brass off the cups, or...

Hello, everyone. I've been looking around and reading this fine forum for a while, and finally registered. The only mil-surp I have is an M1 I got from a friend a few years ago, who got it from the...
