6.5 Creedmoor

Need some advice on reloading 6.5C.

New to the game and initially purchased 600rds of loaded Berger 140g Hybrids with intention to reload with the Lapua brass. I'm definitely hook line and sinker with precision now and would like to invest the time to develop and reload this caliber.

With the time and money I will be investing. And the spotty availability of LRP and reported longevity SRP pockets.
Should I sell my once fired LRP Lap brass and invest in a case of virgin SRP Lap brass
Or
just use what I got (the once fire LRP Lap brass)?

Looking forward to sharing in the future.

Newsom plans to steal the House

Didn't the Repubs and Dems basically swap labels in the 1800s?

When I was a nerdy kid in my 20s looking at national party stuff, I noticed Southern Democrats were sometimes more conservative than some northern Republicans. And it depended on what issues you thought important for the division conserv vs lib.

It also seemed like the creation of the Fed caused a shift in both parties' attitudes toward their supposed constituencies.
Don’t confuse him with nuance. He only sees the label.

Accuracy International Picture Thread

Update

I picked 5 rounds of the Hornady at random out of 185 remaining rounds. The bolt lift was still heavy but less than the initial 15 rounds. There were overpressure marks like before.

The Berger 215 Hybrid Target cartridges were flawless. Bolt ran like butter. There were no overpressure signs. SD of the 10 rounds was 4.1.

The Hornady SD for today's 5 and the 15 prior was approximately 14.4.

I'll stick with the Berger, and Hornady is going to get a call tomorrow. I'm sure nothing will come of it, but I am going to try.

Hopefully @Ledzep will give you free ammo for life 😜

Newsom plans to steal the House

Yeah, not a republican by any stretch of the imagination. His political beliefs became the democrats.

Now, tell us how your party founded the KKK and fought tooth and nail to save segregation, lynched thousands of black Americans and started a war to protect your slaves from Abraham Lincoln and those evil republicans.

I always like the next part.

How’s the gun market?

Sooo… I have been trying to sell some guns for a while, more so on armslist but recently on here as well. I haven’t gotten a single serious bite on any of them. I feel like my prices are right, my guns are not cheap crap, and they are in good shape.

There doesn’t appear to be a big scare of guns being banned, is this it? There doesn’t seem to be any signs of an ammo/gun shortage. Are people holding off because there’s no panic in making them buy anything?

Here’s my sale thread in the bst section:

Also, if this is the wrong sub forum or if posing a link to my sale thread is a no-go, lemme know and I’ll take the beating and move/delete my thread.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

One without a pee pee, sir.

I could honestly post one to show you, as clothed dick is okay; but woe to them who post a picture that shows a clothed woman with anything larger than an A-cup in a meme totally not about boobs. :ROFLMAO:

This, sir, is a legacy woman (see below) and quite frowned upon in these parts.

(Last one, guys, sorry...purely for educational purposes—I wish you all well (even the gay guys who get offended every time a woman is used in a meme, though said persons liked previous photos of sexual icons with boob in 2 of the random pages in this thread I queried lololol)).

It's me, not you. Again, sorry.

Ultimate Karen behavior. Agree to the rules, break the rules and then act as though you are the victim when you are called out. Then temper tantrums and passive aggressiveness.

Airguns Beating Rimfires

That is a pretty stock, in a very utilitarian modern style.

And the groups don’t suck either. 👍🏻
Thanks Lash.

I let the woodsmith have free rein on the stock so it's all his design. A hybrid design to be used in different ways. I'd done things a little differently but to be fair the communication between us wasn't the best and I'm to blame for my part in this. Plus this was his first attempt at such and the poor guy was battling cancer.
If there is ever a next time......
But not that it doesn't work well.

Thomasair's/Mike Nisch latest iteration slug guns are really stout guns, much more than mine is, and he's made quite a few improvements over the years including heavy match barrels with special rifling.
He's texted me 100Y groups he's shot where 25 shots would fit under a quarter and many 250/mostly X's at 50Y on N50 cards, one had 24x which is in the region of 1/8th" precision.

I tried to get him to design a repeater but he's got no time or desire since he has a 1.2 year backlog as is.

What cars you fools have?

Drove a bunch of small cars between then and now. VW Scirocco 1978, bought used in '82.
MK1 Scirocco is one of my bucket list cars. Based entirely on looks, I've never driven one.

As to the truck/SUV discussion.
I did small sporty imports most of my teens and early 20's, with a brief stint in kart racing that helped develop a love of momentum driving. Got into big trucks in my early 20's for both practical and work related reasons, and also because the only way to be cool at the time was to roll coal everywhere. Got into mid sized SUV's in my 30's for practicality reasons.
Now in my later 30's I'm getting closer to being an empty nester and getting back into small cars and it's like I've found the fountain of youth. I absolutely despise driving anything that weighs over 3k pounds or feels like a school bus. Every day when I hop in a work truck or my own truck or SUV a piece of my soul dies knowing that the impending drive will have no joy in it.
I understand the pragmatic reasons they exist, but I can't fathom why a person would buy a vehicle any bigger than what their specific use case requires.
And yes, it does bug me when I see a soccer mom hauling her one child to school across town in a massive eight passenger SUV that's so high up she can't see anything around her. She needs the biggest vehicle on the road "to feel safe" "we have a dog" "it snows sometimes". Meanwhile she smokes curbs everywhere she goes because she doesn't understand the size of her land yacht.
