      What else is very similar to reloading?

      Ah, yes, agreed.

      What else is very similar to reloading?

      to me, upgrading components is a little more like upgrading rifle parts. perhaps if some guitar players wound their own strings or something. but yes, there is some similarity.

      What else is very similar to reloading?

      I reload, and I make espresso (among many other hobbies). I found they are quite similar (I even use the same scale). What other activities are similar to reloading? precision, experimentation, fine tuning, etc etc...

      Gladiator Workbench for Reloading?

      I think you could build yourself something better and bigger for the money. also, it really helps if the bench is bolted to the ground or wall so it doesn't move when you raise or lower the press handle on stubborn brass.

      ordered SMK HPBT 77's to start. will shoot my nosler 77's to sight-in, then reclaim that brass.

      SRP and other primers available at miwall.com

      they were super nice and answered some technical questions.

      SRP and other primers available at miwall.com

      Miwall has small rifle primers and quite a few others in stock. I called them and spoke to two real, nice people, seems legit! I just bought 2k winchester #41. https://miwallcorp.com/search.php?se...1&category=239

      need projectile suggestions (223, 16" 1:8 AR, H4895 or IMR 4064)

      I guess I should really buy three boxes. some 55's, some 60-somethings, and some 77's and see what the rifle likes.

      i told sierra it would be nice if we could buy a variety pack, he laughed and agreed.

      yes, the problem is finding small rifle primers.

      need projectile suggestions (223, 16" 1:8 AR, H4895 or IMR 4064)

      hornady, sierra, and hodgdon all said those powders will work perfectly well for what I want to do. I likely will not be shooting very far, I just shoot paper at 100-300y on my property. I just want to see what the rifle is capable of and I like load testing.

      hornady and sierra both said 77 would be right in the sweet spot, but that lighter/shorter bullets will likely work as well. the problem will be finding small rifle primers.

      Sanity check - 6.5 creedmore first firing and resize.

      your full length resize die is bottomed out and they're still hard to chamber?

      Sanity check - 6.5 creedmore first firing and resize.

      have you checked your factory ammo and fired cases against the saami specs? be good to see how they conform (or not) https://saami.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ANSI-SAAMI-Z299.4-CFR-Approved-2015-12-14-Posting-Copy.pdf pdf page 51 (document page 39) shows that the chamber is .001 larger than...

      need projectile suggestions (223, 16" 1:8 AR, H4895 or IMR 4064)

      is that appropriate for a 1:8 twist?

      need projectile suggestions (223, 16" 1:8 AR, H4895 or IMR 4064)

      going to start reloading for my new AR. 16" heavy barrel, 1:8 twist. I have H4895 and IMR 4064. will test at 100y and likely not shoot past 300y. Main purpose for now is just to find the limits of accuracy for my rifle. should I just go for 77 grain or is there a good reason to try for...

      Yeah, dual tanks. Anyone have a tire recommendation? I want new before I drive cross country.
