    Well, there is no law against it, so all other rights are reserved to the people and the states. :)

    If you are interested in rock solid performance and the highest possible precision, then the Wilson trimmer is the one to buy. It also happens to be one of the least expensive. The only down side...

    This is the only part with which I do not agree. I 100% support your assertion. It is most likely that the next time I shoot a match it will be a 100 yard small bore prone event, perhaps as soon as...

    It's not an argument, it's just a "clarification"; a statement of fact.

    I have personally hosted mini-Palma events at my Club's range, so I probably know at least the basics of the events.

    Okay, so when I got home tonight I re-ran the calculations.

    Here's what I put in:
    10 mph cross wind,
    Sierra 168 gr MK with 2550 fps muzzle velocity
    Eley Tenex with 1085 fps muzzle velocity

    Rimfire at 100 yards is not like 1,000 yard centerfire shooting.

    I once ran my ballistics software to estimate the wind-equivalent distance between a standard velocity rimfire and a typical 308...

    Well, I'm not sure what you want them for.

    When you call them "mil-spec", are you referring to the bullets which Widener's sells? If so, they are a good bullet but not benchrest quality, that's...

    I have one. I haven't used it very much. It works as advertised. It is made to the usual high precision of all the Wilson tools and cutters. It works fast and accurately.

    Gee, I thought small rifle primers were the norm in 38 Super. In IPSC competition, everyone was hot-rodding the 38 Super so they could "make major" on power factor and because the large volume of...

    Still, you didn't answer my question. When you need to expand a neck, why not use the expander mandrel you own instead of the manual method you use.

    So, tell me, why not use the precision machined mandrel you already own? Why use a manually operated, (tapered?) punch or knife sharpener, or worst of all, your bullets?

    Then again, you are using a punch or knife sharpener to perform the very same operation. So, in that sense, you do have an "expander ball", it is just different than the one RCBS and Redding...

    Bummer!

    I've had mine for almost ten years with no hint of a problem.

    A bushing die does not alleviate the need to have an expander ball. Sooner or later, and with some rifles perhaps always,...

    I should have taken the skyscreens off and tried that. I bet it would have worked. I'm frustrated because I've been up there twice in two weeks to no avail.

    Broken record much appreciated, Maury. 2700 fps with a 168 gr bullet seems like a pretty hot load based upon my testing. I was going to load 46.0 gr and call it good. Your 46.5 gr also sounds good...
