But as of this post, we've got 424 views of the thread. Some of those folks may have learned something from it.

Uncle Nick
I headspace my cases to minimum and they work flawlessly and don't use small base dies. I have reloaded with the same cases 10 plus times with no issues. My Garand is a post war rifle. Maybe with war Garands caution is needed. Last edited by milboltnut; June 24, 2021 at 01:28 PM. |

update on OP question..... guess I should have asked it before but..
Neck turning/adjusting neck tension would create feeding issues? Would less neck tension create less pressure and cause action short stroking ? |

I don't think so.
I've shot the same load with about 50 and 10 pounds of bullet pull force without functioning problems. Back in the day, people shooting military 30 caliber match ammo sometimes used a Lyman nutcracker 310 tool to seat bullets a bit deeper. Pull force was much less and more uniform so muzzle velocity spread was a lot less reducing vertical spread on target. |

What percentage of published commercial load data includes bullet pull force?
Why doesn't SAAMI specs for ammo include bullet pull force? Why does USA military specs for rifle ammo include bullet pull force? Last edited by Bart B.; June 24, 2021 at 04:31 PM. |

There are a lot of us here who know we are not that far from being on the wrong side of the sod.
We spent a lifetime accumulating knowledge and experience. So what,when we croak. A lot of us would like nothing better than to pass it on to the younger folks coming up behind us. Then it can live on. You were just back sassing a World Champion Shooter who is trying to help you. Do you want to see backs walking away? Take a deep breath,do some deep thinking. You are slapping GOLD away. Being a bit humble and a bit grateful and being respectful will do a lot for your welcome. The kids who were taken along fishing and hunting are the ones who said "Yes,sir",No Sir,,Please,thank you,etc, A minor adjustment might go a long way. |
