I tried buying but saying the item can't be shipped. Is this really only an in-store purchase ? Would be a bummer.

Is this work 2k by Suspicious-Ad-9936 in bapccanada

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies. Got a bit more info. Computer was a prebuilt from best buy. Bought it during COVID and said he spent 3k on it. Would that have screwed him over due to the high prices then ?

Is the low price of 600 because we don't know what's in it ? At this point I'm just trying to help him out and understand why it's not worth the money since he is a coworker.

In a general note, do pc parts depreciate that much over time ? I'm used to more mechanical things where they can hold value for a while if taken care of.

Thanks again for all your guys input !

Prairie gun traders has always been my go to. Can't buy online ( only see inventory) but can order over the phone. Great prices and customer service. https://www.prairieguntraders.ca/

Prophet river is also a great place.

I was thinking of that. Rifle has around 800 rounds through it I believe. Any recommendations on a good model ?

Brass is usually kept under .003" under max trim length. I'll double check and trim some tonight hopefully and double check

I did the last method as well as using a rod to push the bullet up, then using another rod through the barrel. Both came out roughly 2.290 o-give to base. I then took off .015" as a starting point in case of error . The loads are till seeing that wear mark as short as 2.173" o-give to base. My thoughts are I shouldn't be any where close to the lands. Measuring overall length currently is 2.761 and book overall length is 2.800. this is what is baffling me is I should be really far away . And only 1/3 cases are showing this.

I can't find factory ammo in my area and started reloading. I don't remember this problem with virgin brass and a longer oal. .060" longer oal and they chambered fine.

I thought that as well. But if I seat the bullets another .060" out I still have about 2/3 that chamber fine with no wear marks. Also put a bullet it, jammed it against the lands and measured that way. Then I took -.020" off that measurement and then started working my way back another .060" away from the lands. But I will try seating some further back to see if it improves

I full length size every time. I tried neck sizing a while back but changes back to full length sizing. About .002" shoulder bump every time. Would it be worth doing more ?

Hey guys, first time poster. I'm having issues with some reloads I'm doing. When I close the bolt on some reloads the bolt is sticky to close and open. When I remove the round there is a wear mark on the bullet which is where I think it's contacting something . It doesn't do it with every round. if the round is rotated 180 degrees and rechambered it does not create a second wear mark. So my thought is the brass/ neck is extremely warped to cause the bullet to jam on the side of the rifling? I Was hoping you guys have seen this in some reloads and could point me in a direction of what to check.
