Reloading Podcast 541 – More facebook questions

Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network.  

Tonight we grabbed a few questions from facebook to cover.  

Shoulder bump question.

Standard procedure, take a fired case and measure it with a headspace gauge, reset calipers to zero and resize case to get your correct bump e.g. -.002. set your die and start cranking. 

Here is my point, that was one case out of 100, let’s say that was the longest or shortest case, which could and will distort the bump for the other cases.

I measured a sample of 30 cases and there was an es .0065 with the average, median and mode coming in at 1.535 (6mm creedmoor case) 

Is that .0065 spread something we just live with or do we need to measure a sample batch before bumping the shoulder back?

Appreciate hearing what others do.

Thank you

Guy

Is there a specific temperature your barrel heats to while shooting that it starts affecting accuracy?

Woodman’s question… “I have a Henry 44 mag, can’t get a Keith style bullet to chamber.  Kind of leery about seating any deeper, any suggestions?
