Why do you worry about the carbon in the grooves?

@ctdshooting 4 күн бұрын

Sorry for my delayed response, I was in New Mexico at a tournament. To quickly answer your question = the bullet touches the bottom of the grooves. Longer answer = land diameter is slightly smaller than the groove diameter which "grips" the bullet making it spin to the twist rate of the rifle. Bullets usually measure slightly larger than the groove diameter. Otherwise some of the gasses/pressure would escape around the sides of the bullet. For example: on a 30 cal barrel the land diameter (sometimes called minor diameter) is roughly .300". The groove diameter (major) is .308. 30 cal bullets measure .308x. Please keep in mind there are machining tolerances that may influence those numbers slightly. Hope this helps

@10:57 re the black that you thought was carbon from fouling, I always thought it was carbon from the steel itself. Kind of like when polishing metal the polish will turn black as the metal becomes shiny. I could be wrong.

@ctdshooting 4 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I'm pretty sure I said the black was NOT the carbon - or at least not all of it. Thanks

Ive noticed that on my 220 Russian brass after its been neck turned and fired 4 to 5 times. I M getting a donut on the inside of the neck. I can drop a bullet in it but has resistance... would you suggest a inside neck reamer?

@ctdshooting Ай бұрын

Has this neck been expanded? (for example to 6 mm) Generally inside donuts form below where the bullet is seated and really don't affect anything. If your rifle is shooting the way you want, I would leave them alone. If the donut is interfering with the seating depth or neck tension then yes you can purchase an inside reamer to take them out. You will have to measure very precisely as to only get the donut - not the neck walls. Caution - You might want to remeasure for tension and clearance after you do this - just in case you took off more than just the donut. Hope this helps.

@redraiderreloading7612 Ай бұрын

@ctdshooting yes been expanded. Yes the donut it right at the flat base line of my bullet. I just noticed when I placed a bullet base down in the case. I had a lil resistance but I don't think it's interfering with seating depth

@ctdshooting Ай бұрын

You're probably good to go and if the rifle is shooting good - then I would no mess with it. In my experience the donut (both outside and inside) were formed during expansion. When you outside neck turn you take the outside donut off. When I make the 30 BR brass I get the same thing. I have different inside neck reamers to just barely skim the inside of the neck which removes this inside donut. However, many great shooters (some Hall of Famers) don't mess with the inside donut. Hope this helps.@@redraiderreloading7612

Hi Hal. I always make sure the necks are clean before resizing (I don't want the fouling to get on the neck bushing). Primer pockets...I really don't know if it makes a difference.

May be a dumb question but I'm learning into my second year. How do I measure my neck clearance or diameter to achieve my 2 thousands I hear this alot. Also carbon on the neck is from the neck not trapping gas or in time. Thank you for your reply or any comments welcome.

@ctdshooting 4 ай бұрын

Absolutely not a dumb question. Neck clearance is the OBM (covered in this video and in depth in this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtlkm8Kr2MnOhpc.html) subtracted from the neck chamber dimension. For any of my custom barrels, the gunsmith tells me what the chamber dimension is. For my over-the-counter hunting barrels you can use a chamber cast or you can use the SAMMI specs. Personally, for hunting barrels, I use the quick check method for neck clearance (roughly 3:10 in this video) For hunting barrels I feel that is good enough because there are much bigger pieces to the precision puzzle. Now, neck tension....that's a different story and much easier to control. Hope this helps

Is it necessary to use a mandrel? I wish you would discus the mandrel business as well. Thanks

@ctdshooting 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question. I am assuming you are asking about the resizing mandrel (many times called the button or expander ball) and not a turning mandrel. I only use bushing dies. When a decapping rod has the button on it, I take it off before using. However, the measurements would still follow the same process because resizing is completed (which ever way it is performed) before you measure the resized portion of the neck. I have never tried to buy different buttons to adjust the neck tension, so I can not comment on that. I will add this to my "to do" list of videos. Thank you for the question and suggestion. Stanley

@ctdshooting 6 ай бұрын

I do not have experience with your particular case - so I am hesitant to give specific advice. My first question - is there a big difference in case measurements after the first fireforming compared to after the 2nd firing? If not, then your current process may be doing the job. However the base of the case being tight against the bolt face is a fundamental that needs to happen. I don't know if "almost jam" is enough. Give me a couple days to ask this question to some of my shooting buddies that shoot the Grendel. I'll reply back to this question. Thank you

Ya, Brake Kleen does leave a deposit on what you spray it on, can't obviously see it, but it is there, that's why they came out with electrical cleaners that does not leave a deposit. People tried to use it with cast bullet moulds, and soon found that out, that's why they also say to use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean moulds as well, mostly because it's cheaper than the electrical cleaner.And even though moly is slippery, it is actually harder than the barrel steel.

I have used Imperial sizing wax for this for many years. The idea behind this is to decrease the possibility of case head separation in future firings by not letting case walls grab sidewalls of chamber and stretching the brass unevenly. When fire forming brass it is critical to have case head up against bolt face and bullet in riflings. This set up and a very very very light lube on case will allow case to form to your chamber without uneven stretch of brass. If you are having problems with case head separations after 1 or 2 firings or get donuts in your cases necks after fire forming then it could be that you my need to try this process. In this video you were also told that he was shooting 1.5 grs less than he would be normally shooting , indicating a reduced load. He also told you that he takes ONE piece of of brass and tests it to make sure everything is working as planned. DO UNDERSTAND that this process puts all the presser from firing the cartridge on the bolt face with no help from the case walls. I dont think that he or I are telling you to shoot like this every time you go out shooting. The chamber should be cleaned of all lube prior to shooting standard rounds.
