CORRECT ANSWER-True
Full-length sizing die setup begins by inserting the ______ into the top of the press's
ram. - CORRECT ANSWER-Shellholder
What is the proper name for a bullet tip - CORRECT ANSWER-The meplat
What is the name for backing off the ram slightly and screwing in the die an additional
1/8- to ¼-turn? - CORRECT ANSWER-Cam-over
What will using the dial or electronic caliper and measuring the case from the meplat to
the flat of the case head where the primer is located do? - CORRECT ANSWER-It will
give you the COL measurement of the loaded round after soft-seating
After a bullet leaves the rifle barrel, what two forces act on the bullet's trajectory? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Gravity and the force due to the air flow around the bullet.
The ballistic pendulum was based upon laws of mechanics formulated by: - CORRECT
ANSWER-Sir Isaac Newton
A bullet's reaction to wind depends on what two factors? - CORRECT ANSWER-Speed
and direction of the wind
The primary advantage of a Progressive press is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Higher rate of
cartridge assembly compared to single stage press
What is "start pressure?" - CORRECT ANSWER-The amount of pressure necessary for
the bullet to overcome the initial forces of friction
What is case obturation? - CORRECT ANSWER-The ability of a case to expand and
then return to its basic shape
, The dent, coming from the firing pin striking the metal side of the primer, creates the
pressure needed to ignite the priming mixture. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
If you are using "range brass," what must you make sure of before reloading? (Click all
the apply) - CORRECT ANSWER-Check the headstamp for caliber designation, That
the cases are the correct chambering for your gun
Despite the extreme stresses places on cases, because of obturation, previously fired
brass cases do not require special preparation before being reloaded. - CORRECT
ANSWER-False
Which press is essentially single-stage but can be mounted with various dies at one
time? - CORRECT ANSWER-The turret
What is always the first consideration when reloading any cartridge? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Safety
When sorting brass, what should you do if cracks, splits, or head separation is
detected? - CORRECT ANSWER-Discard it
Ballistics deals with - CORRECT ANSWER-The science of moving projectiles
When shooting uphill, the gun will shoot - CORRECT ANSWER-High
In what type of terrain are vertical winds usually encountered? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Mountainous or hilly areas
What is the name of the test data, compiled in Germany in 1881 that turned out to be
the basis for ballistics tables for small arms right up to the present time? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Krupp test data
When shooting downhill, the gun will shoot: - CORRECT ANSWER-High
What is the altitude used for most ballistics tables? - CORRECT ANSWER-Sea level
Who invented the ballistic pendulum in the year 1740? - CORRECT ANSWER-Robins
The measurement for overall case length is taken from the flat of the case head to the
opening of the case mouth, and the length is always expressed as a maximum
dimension less _____________. - CORRECT ANSWER-Ten-thousandths of an inch
To achieve proper obturation on a resized case, it is preferable to focus on the
dimensions of a minimum chamber specification, one that has only the slightest
clearance needed to easily and safely chamber the round. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
