Did you read where I said the Gators had dug into the coating & pushed it up to the rear driving band & the Hornadys did not. I did not say the Hornadys are better, I said I don't want the Gators. Everybody has there own opinion. That is mine.I have been following this thread with some interest.
I have commented about my GCs of choice.
I think that we should choose our GCs by how they stay on in flight, not how they stay on when we have to tear down loads.
I am probably going to be stepping on some toes here but, I hope they majority of the casters/reloaders here don`t have to tear down many of their reloads.
I hope that we comment on the quality of each GC by on how it performs down range and not if it sticks to our bullets when we have to tear them down.
I typically start new load development by loading no more that 5 for the first test be it for velocity or accuracy..
I almost always fire one round of any new load through the rifle that I will be using it in to see if it a safe starting point.
After each series proves to be OK, I wiII start loading larger quantities to be sure all is well before I load a large batch.
Hence their check check flaring tools, which I have a set of. They cover a power of sins, to paraphrase Mark Twain.Noe molds usually have a larger gas shank than everyone else.
I opened bfbmachineworks link from the link fiver posted and I book marked. Blair from bfb has already returned my email ands asked where I heard about him.fiver started the thread.
I ordered one, and had issues contacting them with email or phone, but I did get a message through via a old closed ebay listing ...which surely isn't my favorite way to do such things,,,but they seemed ok with it.
anybody?
