You are correct. For the same overall length, which is moreover restricted by whether the cartridge will fit inside your AR magazine, a heavier bullet, being longer, will intrude into the case...

If your load requires a hot ignition, my experience with the BR4s has been that they are not a very hot primer. Excellent consistency, but not very hot. I did not know about them providing a tighter...
Thank you for being the first to ask this as it was the first thing that went through my mind when I read about it a week or so ago, but I was too timid to ask. I'm guessing the ogive is somehow not...
It would not take a huge leap of technical ingenuity to design a similar device using high speed, Hall Effect transistors that would simulate the Opto Transistors that standard Chronys use that you...
Since you're shooting them slow, why not just load pure lead boolits with a gas check? Though I don't have any experience in this arena, that would surely help, wouldn't it?

Aside from the whole smartphone thing, I consider myself a techno-junkie. I do it for a living. It's my other hobby and it's just the way I'm wired. The first time I read of this product, before it...
Looks like meat in the freezer to me!
Just need to get it from point A to point B, much to the dismay of point B.
Good Luck

I've been happy as a clam with my Lyman DPS 1200 3, actually a 2 and upgraded to 3. The time it takes to drop a charge is almost the same time it takes to vibe down the powder column and seat a...
If you haven't gotten the brake blasted yet, I do my Ross brakes with glass blasting bead from Harbor Freight. Matched my barrel, which has the same finish as yours perfectly. I've been working off...
When I first saw that chrony I wondered if you can use one if you employ a muzzle brake, especially one that is wider than your barrel?
Thanks,

That's because the manufacturers are making more money on ubiquitous calibers than ever before and they've found a new target market. All the game console warriors who have come of age sufficient to...
First thing I throw away is Lee's cheesy locking nut. I buy bulk packs of Hornady set screw ones and lock the FCD on a per caliber basis. The few times I've crimped a Grendel round, it was as...
Being a determined person with 15 bullets left, I decided to go outside of conventional wisdom and do a brief experiment to implement the greatest neck tension without severe or exotic crimps. The...
Not to monopolize the thread, but does making brass simply involve annealing and stretching with a die or is fire forming involved? I don't have a problem with the latter as I did a lot lot of that...
7.62x40WT eh.
Of all the 30 caliber in a small case examples that I've read about, that is the only one that A) Made me remotely consider owning one and B) Seemed designed best to be able to milk...
Unfortunately, my lack of benchrest technique discipline does not allow me to stay in that groove for long. When I'm in there, it sure feels good though....
In my 24" Grendel chamber barrel, I got excellent results with 29gr 8208, Hornady brass, Rem 7 1/2, at a COL of all that would fit in my magazine at the time which was 2.29".
Here's a 5-shot, 100...
Hi Zach;
I'm in St.Boni and I'm a Grendel fan as well. Do you belong to that long-shooting range up that way? Used to go camping in the Dunes back in the late 70's. Actually, camping is a stretch,...
Aw shucks. I stand before you all with a serious sum of egg on my face. It's been a while since I dusted off the Grendel and it appears my reloading Quality control needed a little dusting off as...
I don't have an ID mic. I use the caliper's ID jaws and then measure them with my mic for greater precision. The point being, if sneaky is using an ID that is .006 below the bullet's OD, my issue may...
