HTH I saw this before I bought mine and was concerned. I had the same problem at first but I realized that in most cases the ones that grabbed I could enter them slowly and the trimmer would take off the offending bur that was causing the sticking. |

Apparently my iPad didn't post yesterday...
To hold a case for the trimmer: A pair of needle nosed pliers with one leg inserted into the primer pocket and the other leg grasping the edge of the case's base will get you where you need to be. To reduce fatigue of the user's hand, be sure the pliers have a spring to assist in opening the pliers.

So I just bought the Hornady headspace gauge kit for use with calipers. I assume the 350 bushing is used for 300blk, correct? Also, if headspace is in perfect saami spec, what should the caliper read? My goal is to set my sizing die more precisely. I use the RCBS precision case mic for .223 for this purpose but they haven't jumped on the blackout bandwagon yet.

Haven't bought any factory 300 BLK to measure but info I've read is that with the 350 insert factory Remington cases measure approximately 1.068". I've also read that some factory cases measure even less. Also it seems chamber headspaces from reports can be short and some seem to have trouble with their sizing dies not being able to push the shoulder back enough. You'll have to check some fired brass from your rifle to get an idea of your chambers headspace. I have two AR's from the same manufacturer and they both have the exact headspace which by the way is on the maximum side of specs. My fired brass is approximately 1.075" meaning the chamber is probably a couple thousandths longer. I size the brass trying to get about 1.073" measured with the 350 insert from the Hornady Headspace set. My Hornady sizing die will push the shoulder back to what the factory Remington 300 BLK was reported to be at 1.068-1.069 with firm contact with the shellholder. I have to back it off to get my 1.073"
Your brass fired in your rifle and your brass brand may make your measurements totally different than mine. |

The bullets I'm talking about were meant for 30 carbine and don't feed through an AR. The blunt nose RN type. 110 gr bullets with a spitzer shape feed fine in an AR. Other action types may not have this problem, especially single shots. |

Not sure if this has been asked before but, down to what size do you guys cut the brass? and then down to what size do you trim? Whats the final measurement for the brass??

Have a 14.5" on the way, so velocities will go up a bit. According to Quick Load, I still have quite a bit of room left on both of these loads. But settled with these as good reliable loads. No feeding issues out of ANY mags! ETA: If you look close at the Accubond in the above picture. You can see where the lead swallowed the polymer tip. |

I have some Remington brass that's got 3 recycles on it (mostly supersonic loads and I'm starting to see flattened primers). I am examining those cases closely after cleaning and watching for signs of pressure or case head separationm ( details on pressure signs and photos here ). After I wear a couple down I will figure out my number. If I get to 7 uses though ill toss them. YMMV |
