TIP: for the Hornady bullet comparator; I just measured 3 different 223 bullets of different weights and manufacturers and found a total of CBTO variance of some .030. All bullets must have identical O'Gives. Then I removed the plastic plunger and filed down the rounded end into a more pointed end and remeasured a 3 bullets again @ 8 each and found the new total variance of the same bullets to be .010. In two of the bullets the CBTO variance was less than 5%. Very accurate now. My conclusion is the bullet bases are not 100% perpendicular to the concentricity of the bullet and the plastic plunger end is too large to get an accurate reading on a small point from the base of the bullets. This was all done in a brand-new JC Custom barrel just purchased and not installed. I wish Hornady would install a smaller metal pointed end on their plunger for a little extra money.

It comes out centered every time because the neck or shoulder is held perfectly straight with the drill and the drill centres on the primer pocket.Then I put the tap in the drillpress and hand turn it to thread the hole. Makes beautiful centered threads . Not like the lathe that is near impossible to get the case lined up and held perfectly straight .

@larrymitchell35022 жыл бұрын
Two years & no reply from anyone so..... A case fired in the rifle is a closer fit to that firearm than a generic case. The round chambered and fired so it works in your gun. Chamber the fired case if you doubt. Does the bolt close smoothly, with no or minimal resistance? It should. If not, clean the chamber & the fired case. When the bolt closes with little or no resistance, the case fits YOUR chamber. Which is why you make your own: Factory ammo or a full length resized case is typically near or at minimum SAAMI spec to maximize compatibility with multiple rifles from multiple mfr's, chambered with equipment in various states of wear. For the same reason, so is the modified case sold by Hornady. Non-belted cartridges headspace on the shoulder (so do belted cases after one or two firings). We bump the shoulder to ensure a fired case will chamber reliably and cuz handloaders have learned that bumping usually results in improved accuracy compared to full length resizing - which intentionally resizes cases to minimum specs. No die mfr has any better idea than does a cartridge company of YOUR firearm's unigue characteristics. You do - it's a big part of why you handload. But if you feel better bumping the sample case to make it more representative of the rounds you make, go ahead. It'll still be better than a factory case. Remember: Unless you're using bushing dies (so as to control the neck size) your sizing die resizes the neck to a few thou under the bullet diameter. You'll have to ream it or use an oversize mandrel in order for a bullet to slip fit. Hopenthis helps. If you see this & still have questions, pls reply.

@@neilharris4462 You point is understood, however, in my experience a fire formed case will not fit back into its original chamber unless the bolt is closed. Cannot close the bolt in this instance, so he will not be getting the case shoulder tight against chamber shoulder. Therefore his readings will be false false. Better to partially size the case so the shoulder match up. Have to be careful that the partial sizing does not move the shoulder forward, of you have to bump the shoulder back to the before sizing measurement.

As much as I appreciate the video but most people can't afford lathe or the room. Out of touch, for the budget competitor. Why not do a video for the average guy without a lathe and use hand tools and show how they could bore and tap it straight without a lathe?

To do this job properly, a lathe is used. If you don't have a lathe, send them to Hornady.

I am very surprised he uses that Hornady gauge. That thing is not very accurate. you are better off seating a bullet in a fired case and pushing it until you can close the bolt. That Hornady thing is a POS, IMO.

I hate guys like this, with their lathes and then a second lathe in the background and all!!!! OK, in reality, right now I'm greener than the HULK!
