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.

I wouldn't sell it all. You've already spent 600 rounds of barrel life and time fireforming brass.

You'd have to fireform all over again whatever brass you end up buying. At least me, I come up with a basic generic load, and then once I fireform brass, that's when I like to begin a more dedicated load development.

There's currently remington large rifle magnum primers for sale for decent prices. I think you can find 5000 for about $300ish or maybe $350.

Plain Jane rifle and scope? Going to ruffle some feathers with no custom rifle and high end optic built specifically for the trip.

Serious question—are you you guys offended by memes that have fully-clothed women in them with larger than a-cup bosoms, like the "guys" in the other motivational pic thread with a penchant for penis pictures?

They suggested I go where the 'bad-boy boomers...who can't handle being told something isn't appreciated' thread where they like boobs, so here I am.

Am I in the right place?

Try directing your question to our social director, @Dirty D ....

I’d have to agree with the shotgun statement. I won it at a local competition… I’d never buy it myself.

Maybe I think too highly of Cmmg and Kimber. And that’s sad because I don’t think very high of them at all. I think Kimber used to make good stuff but I wasn’t happy with the kds9c so I went with a staccato and have been much happier with it. Cmmg, if it weren’t for the soft aluminum upper and the failures to eject, it wouldn’t be a bad gun. The sig I just bought for nostalgia since I had one a long time ago and I liked the looks of it.

Anyhoo… I’m not about to give guns away just because the market sucks. I’ll likely just hold onto them. Thanks for the input everyone! The brutal honesty is important, keep it up.

Congrats!

That's what I'd get too if I had the extra $$$$$$ for it, well except in Red.

I like the looks of C6's, not so much C7's, but love the body style of C8's. Your C8 is more performance than I could ever need/want.

Our Camry hybrid is surprisingly spirited so I bet that C8 screams.

I have been really wanting to try a K&P. Spoke to LRI recently about doing one because they partner with K&P but they don’t do pre-fits. Not even for the super common stuff like 737’s. They also cost more than a PVA pre-fit. I can send one of my 737s to them for the first barrel but I don’t feel like parting with one right now. I have heard nothing but good things though.

I found this item, which I am calling an ammo dispenser. It is NOT a magazine. It currently has WWI 30-06 ammo in it. That may or may not be the caliber it was intended for. There are no markings anywhere. It is spring loaded and dispenses one round at a time.

Looks like halston device , external ammo dispenser of sort for single feed rifle

I was so happy with my results earlier this week, I went back to do a little more shooting.

The Blackarc Munitions 110 Gr Barnes black tip makes about 2,170 FPS out of an 8" Craddock Precision stainless barrel. The same gun pushes a SIG 120 gr copper round that is a specific short barrel load, so this is picking up about 75 FPS. I've found the SIG load to be mediocre in accuracy, but good terminal performance on pigs. As a practical matter, the 8" is a 100 yard gun at the most as set up anyway. With that said, I have some of the Phantom 85 gr headed this way to see how fast the 8" pushes that - but I think the 12.5" and Blackarc are destined to go kill a bunch of pigs.

The AAC / ACOG + SRO / Blackarc continues to to make me very, very happy regarding accuracy and reticle calibration. The large circle with the "2" is with the SRO, the "4" is with the ACOG, both at 100 off a tripod - then I went to 300 as the other day I hit 200 and 400 with great results - also dead on at 300 as the drops would indicate. At that distance, the diamond is about covering the torso, but it makes clear the reason the ACOG revolutionized combat effectiveness.

Hamtramck used to be all Polocks.

That's why the GM plant there was called Poletown.
