    Interesting overpressure sign

    Not seeing any of that resolution in current catalog, so potential buyers should do their homework. https://www.mitutoyo.com/webfoo/wp-content/uploads/US-1005_Mitutoyo_Catalog.pdf

    That does look like a quality caliper, but I still think the caliper by design design is unsuited for .0001" resolution and all of those I've seen show a digital readout of 0 or 5 for the 4th decimal. Are you saying yours shows .0001, .0002 etc.? Id hate for a member to buy something that didn't meet his expectations is all. Yours looks a lot like this one.

    I've seen digital calipers with 4 decimal place readouts, but they only are good for 5 tenths resolution. If you want to measure head expansion I think you should be looking at a micrometer.

    Interesting overpressure sign

    Wouldn't think so, it's actually bleeding off pressure. That is still a pretty warm load, or soft brass based on the ejector swipe. Was it the same make case as the others? Maybe more powder in that one case? I'd back off on the charge weight. Did it pit the bolt face?

    Winchester has gone back and forth with nickel plating since the 90's. They had a run of bad ones a few years ago that pinholed.

    Newbie neck tension confusion

    I think the entry taper comes into play as well. You might try flipping that bushing the other direction if possible.

    Newbie neck tension confusion

    Looks like you are good to go with the .286 bushing. The reason I asked about the O.D. is based on experience with a Redding FL Bushing Die for my .308. That die with thin walled .308 WW brass would size well below the marked bushing diameter. I believe that was due to sizing over .010" in one pass. Redding cautions not to try over .004" in one step if I recall correctly. Good luck with your reloading endeavors!

  16. Buffalo Arms has brass and dies for an 11mm French revolver. Not sure how many variations there are though.

    308 powder Update

    With the .308 it's hard to find a medium speed powder that doesn't work. N150 is good. May need a drop tube to fit enough in the case. I have used most of the others with good results, but try to avoid ball and double based powders.

    75 Qt Brute Box Cooler - $200

    Bump for a good cooler.
  20. Apparently the difference in jacket thickness is enough to cause the difference. The external dimensions should be identical.
