the bushings work great for neck tension. What about concentricity? Some of the brass are dinged in a bit from firing. After sizing still evident. Non issue or not? Loading for benchrest.
Thanks in advance
Lol. Good point. With reloading it really is a question of how much to invest in time and tools v buying a product. Wouldn’t surprise me if there are people who machine their own brass from stock (I’m going to Google this now)
Case length is 1.515. Trim length is 1.505. I have factory loaded Sako cartridges @ 1.515 - can’t close bolt on them. Norma fits - measures at 1.505. What to do? Take bullets out of Sako, trim case and reload? Rifle is a Sako- odd they do not fit. Don’t want to force anything for all the...
Want to reload 223 cases. Spent primer measures .170, appears to be surrounded by metal ring in the primer pocket to fit. Regular.175 primer does not fit. What’s going on? Don’t know if ring is removable. Pictures attached. Thanks in advance.
Just started reading it. Does it mention anything about primers to be used with their recommended loads? Hornady specifies primers, not seeing it here. Am I missing something? Basically looking to load 223 and 308 with Varget.

Thanks again, all, great tips. Field stripped the action, extractor is sharp and does appear to be the culprit. Smoothe down the edge a bit, did not fix the issue, may need to do more.
1978 Marlin - JM
Using snap cap (and Hornady Leverevolution in the field - gummy tip had feed issues)
Round starts to feed at angle but does not go under extractor- please see pics
Feeding from magazine and single loading, same issue. I’ve read that the extractor should engage prior to round moving forward in chamber. I’ll disassemble and see what’s going on. Appreciate the tips.
Round goes in chamber bolt won’t close.
Appears extractor catches halfway on rim of cartridge. Bolt will close if I push cartridge under extractor. I’ve heard people say to bend extractor out. Or lightly file extractor? Thoughts? The rifle is used, appears to never have been fired.
Thanks in...
