Noob here, with noob question: I've read I should set my shoulder bump to -.002" from fire brass length. Well, on checking my die setup, I'm at -.0015"...should I bother chasing that last-.0005"?

I can sorta tell that she’s watched Carl Zha’s podcast, based on the examples that she used…

But did she watch this cartoon and use it as an example?

That would be amusing

I'm having a hard getting consistent bullet seating depths and was looking for any advice or suggestions. I'm reloading 6x47 Lapua on a Redding T7 with Whidden custom dies. New Lapua brass, and bullets are Berger 105gr Hybrids, all from the same 100 count box. I'm measuring them with a Hornady Lock n Load Comparator on a set of calipers, with the comparator insert that gets me closest to the ogive without sliding over it. I'm making sure to use the same speed on the upstroke, the same pause at the top, and the same speed on the downstroke from cartridge to cartridge. However, just using my last six rounds as an example, the cartridge length (case base to the compartor's position slightly above the bullet ogive) was two at 2.050, three at 2.051, one 2.052, and one 2.053. Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Ted

I haven't had this problem before.

Lake City 223 cases were prepped as usual, sized with a Hornady sizing die, and an expander ball. They may not have been annealed.

Nosler Custom Competition 77-grain bullets are not seating using a Hornady seating die. Comes up hard once past the boat tail and then crushes the case.

I don't trust my micrometer at the third digit after the decimal, but the bullets are measuring .2235, and the expander ball is .220.

3.5 thou plus a bit of spring back may be my problem, but I have used these dies many times before without any issues.

Does anyone have a .223 Hornady expander ball they could measure for me?

If the dies are not the problem, I will try annealing. I use a Sinclair mandrel for other calibers, but not .223. Maybe it's time to add one to the set.

Any other thoughts?

Thought this might be a fun topic I don’t often see discussed here, but how about a thread dedicated to sub-caliber (anything below .22) rifles?

I recently got bit by the .17 bug, and would honestly love a .20 as well though that may be awhile yet. I have a .17 Fireball and will be picking up a .17 Ackley Bee next week, but anything sub-cal would belong here no matter how obscure. Calhoon stuff, Ackley stuff, .10s, .12s, .14s, .17s, 19s, .20s bring it all!

To start, since I’m pretty new to this stuff, I’m powder shopping for my two. I realize the .17AB and .17FB are both relatively close-ish in performance, but the prices were right so I pounced. I was initially hoping for a .17 Hornet and a Fireball, but holy hell the going prices for anything Hornet are crazy these days! About the only rifles in mass production for it would be the Savage 25, which gets mixed reviews and sells for way too much for what it is IMO. Ruger and CZ are both put of the Hornet game, and both of them sell for STOOPID money most of the time. I still want one, but it may be awhile…

So anyway, the Ackley Bee will have to do in it’s stead. If anyone else is shooting these, I’m open to powder suggestions. Benchmark and 8208 both come recommended, but are both hard to find and expensive when you can find them. I’d prefer something relatively temp sensitive and less expensive, but that combo may be a unicorn right now. TAC, CFE-BLK, H335, and VV N120/130 are less expensive options that seem to get good reviews as well, so I may order a pound of each in a bit and start load development to see what I can get.

So, what’s everyone else shooting, if anything?

I see a pile of data on here with the 90+gr bullets for 6GT loads… but Does anyone shoot the lighter bullets in their 6gt for varmints/coyotes? Please share some info of you’re willing

It is in good to very good condition as pictured.
I am only selling it because I have moved onto using a suppressor.

First to PM me and post will own it.
Thank you!

So I posted on here last week asking about differences between a 6 and 25 creed, and decided to go 6. But the more I thought about it, the amount of 6mm cartridges out there is quite large. I want something for plinking and whitetail inside 350 yards. I would like the easy button for it when it comes to reloading, and decent speed. I have a 6br and 30br, both are very heavy but probably the easiest thing I've ever reloaded for. I was thinking maybe a 6x47 lapua, 6xc? or stick with he 6 creed, any other suggestions? I have a ton of cci450s that id like to use up on this as well.

thanks fellas

have tried my app which works great and my br4 profiles used to work great. However after going out to the range today I noticed the profiles in my br4 will not give me an accurate solution, they will be off by 10-15moa, however if I have it linked to my app when I range a target the app will show me the accurate solution but it will still show a very wrong solution in the br4 display. Has anyone seen this ?

I have an example below, it’s like there is a random glitch in the software. And no it’s not the base wind or vector wind or weather I can set both identical any which way and they will not line up.

Any ideas? I sent an email to Revic but this is very frustrating as I have had the unit for about 2 weeks and have a hunt in the AM.

I have tried everything taking the battery out of unit re-syncing, deleting and re-syncing nothing seems to work
