That has been my experience as well. Unfortunately, still not going to be enough to get me out to 1000 yds. My AR has a 22" barrel and my 75 BTHP leaves the barrel at 2830 FPS or so.
Does the 73 ELD-M have a real advantage over the 75 BTHP? The published G7 is .2 for the 73 & Brain Litz has the 75 BTHP with a G7 of .183. My MV is 2850 (shooting out of a 22" barrel). JBM has the velocity going subsonic at about 850 for the 75 & 950 for the 73. I have shoot a lot of the...
You guys convinced me that doing this would not be a good idea. My AR has a 22" barrel & that gets me out to 800 w/ a 75 gr. BTHP. Past that it falls off a cliff accuracy wise. JBM confirms that I will have issues past 800. I have a MV of 2850 FPS & use a G7 of .18 to get the dope to match...
I understand that the 5.56 cartridge was designed for shorter bullets. What is the downside in me shooting the 75 ELD-M seated deep assuming that it will feed? It chambers feed from a magazine & dropping the bolt just fine. I admit I don't like the excessive bullet jump, but other than...
When loading a 75 gr. ELD-M to a 2.26 max COAL, the bullet sits deep in the case. 2.6 COAL obviously to get the round to fit in a magazine. The bullet would have to be seated to a COAL of 3.03 for the full bullet diameter to be is the case. Looks a little odd. Any issues with seating a...
I am going to get a Wilson Die Kit 2 which includes the Case gage, bullet seater & the bushing FLD (full length die). It does not include the neck bushing. I am just getting into 6.5 creedmoor & waiting for my MPA rifle. I have 500 rounds of Eagle Eye Ammo which uses Alpha SRP brass. I don't...
I have not annealed brass before and want to start. What are some decent low cost annealers? Alternatively, I got all of the parts for a DIY annealer (Elfster's) following this youtube: Anybody use this DIY annealer?
Agreed. Do not expect barrel speed to stabilize until at least 200 rounds. Figure I can tweak the load at that point. Just want to be able to get some use & practice out of the rifle and not wait until barrel fully broken in. Will definitely stick to the heavier bullets - 147 and up. Any...
Just starting to load 6.5 Creedmoor. Picked up (500) 147 gr. ELD-M bullets & 3 lbs. of H4350. Will be using Alpha SRP brass. This will be shot out of a Masterpiece Arms rifle w/ a 26" barrel for PRS shooting out to 1000 yards. Seems like most people end up between 41 to 42 grains & 0.020...
I have loaded for some time but never have been as good of a precision rifle reloader as I would like to be. I have all the basic equipment & have been loading for 5.56 & .308 but now need to get set up for 6.5 creed. Plan on full length sizing - which die model & manufacturer? Always have...
Not hunting at all. But do want ability to hit accurately to 300 or 400 yards. Not worried about the drop, but low velocity & low BC make doping the wind VERY challenging, so I want to keep the velocity up. With 125 gr. bullets I am getting 2250 FPS out of my 16" barrel. I am guessing that...
Just picked up 500 rounds of Eagle Eye ammo for a 6.5 Creedmoor. Got 140 gr. Berger Hybrids for $235 / 100 rounds. I'm just getting into 6.5 (just shot 308 & 5.56 before) and needed some brass. At that price I'd spend almost the same on components. The brass is made by Alpha. The guy that...
Sorry. Thought you were just being a smart a** putting in an arbitrary number like 16.1". Again, don't want to sacrifice too much supersonic performance. Also, the sig barrel is not cheap (approx. $800). After I chop down, will have no use for my 16" barrel.
My suppressor is 7.5" long. A 10.5" barrel results in 18" barrel/suppressor length (I'll help you: 10.5"+7.5" = 18"). Don't want to get below 10.5" because I'll be giving up too much supersonic performance. 16.1" results in a barrel length of 8.6" which for me is too short of a barrel. They...
I have a Sig MCX in 300 Blackout w/ a 16" barrel. The rifle shoots very well for what it is. Consistently 2 moa or better. Not talking about the best 3 round group shot ever but consistently shooting 2 moa based on five groups of five shots. Anything from subs to 125 gr. supers. Anyway, I want...
I just ordered a MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II rifle. This has their BA ESR chassis. I ordered it with a folding stock. I don't really need a folder but many people say that cleaning is easier. The rifle is already fairly heavy and the folder adds about 8 oz. I can still change the order...
