Rye how hard is the forming of the brass, do you run it thru the expander die. This might be my next project when I shoot my 260 out.

For the reamer you used, was it the 6.5 SLR, or the 6.5 SLR/S? Looking at your COAL and length to ogive, I think the 6.5 SLR, but want to verify.

I am in the process of building one now, and will start load development early next year.



Specs will be:

Rem 700 SA trued

PT&G bolt

26-27" Bartlein 1 in 8" 5R Match w. Rem Varmint/Sendero contour

Manners T2A stock

Timney Calvin Elite @ 1.5# (+/-)

Seekins 20MOA Picatinny base, 34mm high rings

Steiner T5Xi 5-25x56 SCR



Remington brand .243Win brass

Federal GM Match LR primers

140gr. Berger VLD Hunting

Powder TBD

Redding 6.5 SLR dies w. competition seating die from Robert Whitley

Mine is closer to the regular (long) SLR print. I used .298" neck for clearance, loaded cartridges using unturned Winchester brass measure .2945" neck diameter.

My freebore is .140". I just measured the throat with a Hornady comparator set and at 534 rounds down the barrel it still shows no change from new. Also measured COAL when on the lands with the 3 bullets I have on hand:

136 Scenar-L 2.910"
140 Amax 2.934"
140 H-VLD 2.978"

All the above loads have the bullet above the neck-shoulder junction.

RyeDaddy,

What does one of your empty 6.5 SLR Winchester brand brass weigh? My Remington brass weighs in at 163.2gr. +/- 1 grain.

Lance have you ever tried Varget I have a ton of it and while I know it won't be the best I would like to use it up not to mention 4350 is like finding a unicorn.

Redding dies are only available through 6mmar.com as far as I know. Just go to the site, get the phone number and call. I ordered my reamer and gauges through Pacific Tool and Gauge.

Personally I prefer the Whidden dies, having used both. If you go with the Whiddens, be aware they do not come with a tapered expander so you'd need to buy an expander (I like the Sinclair Gen 2) if you want to neck up from 243.

I have not tried Varget. But I have a bunch for my .223.

I called Redding myself, and they only make the dies for Robert Whitley to sell from his site, 6mmAR.com , as it is a proprietary round. 6mmar.com/65_SuperLR.php

I have pretty much refined my load.

43.8gr. H4350 @ 2910fps average over 20 shots +/-8fps.

Berger 140 HVLD seated .0300" off the lands.

Shoots in the mid .2s so far.

I'm selling a Kestrel Sportsman that was upgraded by Kestrel to the 5700 Elite. It is exactly the same as the 5700 Elite with the full Applied Ballistics software. Also has full Bluetooth connectivity. It is in perfect condition with not a mark on it. I'm asking $515 shipped.

Unused 20MOA pic rail, package is dented and taped but it’s still new unused.

Model A293 alloy
Rem 700 SA

$40 shipped

$320 shipped

Any simple tips on removing the ATACR beauty ring? I’ve shot a few of these for years without ever trying the ring. Decided to try one out. Threaded on easy so it’s not cross, but my fingers cannot muster sufficient purchase to take it off.

Apparently gang bangers in the country illegally deserve lawyers before being deported. WTF??

Bought two of these thinking they'd be great turkey guns for my boys, but they don't want to turkey hunt. So they're on the block.

Both brand new, one out of the box for pictures and the other hasn't been out of box yet.

Want to sell both together to ship in the bigger box they came in.

870 Fieldmaster Compact Synthetic, 20 gauge 21" vent rib barrels. 3 chokes, manual, stuff from factory with each.

$850 shipped CONUS by private seller to your FFL via USPS Priority insured.
If I have to ship through an FFL, add $100.
If I have to ship to CA, add $200.

No trades needed.
Electronic payment accepted.

Thanks for looking.

Hello, I have an MPA BA PMR PRO II coming in 6.5 Creedmoor soon and a Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 sitting on the shelf for it.

Should I do rings or a scope mount? Any idea what height I should get to keep the bell of the scope closer to the barrel? (not too close but like a 1/4" - 1/2"

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

I have had a few requests for some custom cleaning rod racks lately so I am going to put up a few different options for sale amongst the other items. Prices are TYD. Custom requests welcome, just takes a little extra time and $$ depending. Colors are going to be primarily red or black, if you don't specify I will just ship what I have. You can see dimensions in the images also if you have any questions regarding so. The cleaning rod holes are tapered to "self center".

$30 Basic Cleaning Rod Rack: The basic cleaning rack will hold 6 cleaning rods and can be mounted to the wall via 2 #8 screws.
$38 Basic Rack With Magnet: This model will hold the 6 cleaning rods but can be mounted to the wall via 2 #8 screws or can be attached to a steel object via the two magnets on the back. The magnets are 70LB pull a piece so be careful and don't set it right on your phone or any sensitive electronics. The rubber O-rings that are in the back are to keep the cleaning rod rack from sliding around . The magnets have a lot of pull force but the friction generated between the plastic rack and a smooth metal surface isn't sufficient to keep it in place, so that is where the O-rings come in.
$40 Upgraded Rack: The upgraded cleaning rack will hold 6 cleaning rods and can be mounted to the wall via 2 #8 screws. This also has a small tray on the one end for miscellaneous storage (jags, brush or something you are using right now) and the other end has two hooks for hanging common cleaning materials from. The wire diameter on the hooks is .110" (just under 1/8" diameter).
$48 Upgraded Rack With Magnet: This option includes the upgraded cleaning rod rack with magnets and O-rings. Again please use caution around the strong magnets as described in the above basic rack with magnets option.

I have had a few requests for an organizer for the expanding mandrels. Incase anybody else could use one here it is. Price is TYD.

$22 Expanding Mandrel Organizer: This will hold the die along with places for 9 different mandrels. This is currently setup to work with mandrels that use a 3/8” shaft diameter. If your mandrels have a different size just let me know and I can change the size of the holes to work with your type of mandrel. This can sit on the bench or be wall mounted via 2 #8 screws.

$28 Expanding Mandrel Organizer Flat: This will hold the die along with places for 13 different mandrels. This is currently setup to work with mandrels that use a 3/8” shaft diameter. If your mandrels have a different size just let me know and I can change the size of the holes to work with your type of mandrel. This can sit on the bench or be wall mounted via 2 #8 screws.



If there is enough interest in a model that has a cover I will look into this.

Here are a few other items members have requested

Please let me know if you have the RCBS cam (die type) bullet puller. The collets are a little smaller than others and I use a smaller hole diameter for those.

I printed these bullet puller organizers for a few people and they worked well. If anybody could use one PM me.
Red or black. If not specified I will ship what I have on hand. Can do custom colors on request but it might be a few dollars extra.
$20 TYD Inertia Style puller: Holds 6 of the collets and the handle. This works with all the most common inertia driven bullet pullers. Lyman, Frankford arsenal, RCBS and the knock offs of this type. This can just sit on top of the bench or be mounted to a wall via two #8 screws. To use the handle holder it needs to be mounted to a wall or side of bench as shown in the images.
$28 TYD Cam lock Style bullet puller: This will work with the most common die type bullet pullers such as Hornady, RCBS and Forester. This will hold 10 collets along with the dies and their respective components and allen key. I can add the custom labeling to the collet holder like in the image for $5 extra. You would have to include what you need them to say and in what order. Given the depth of the collet holder hole, most collets can still be identified with the factory stampings. This can just sit on top of the bench or be mounted to a wall via two #8 screws
$38 TYD Cam lock Style bullet puller with lid: This option will include a lid to cover the cam lock style pullers only. See image for how it sits on top. This can still be wall mounted or sit on the bench.

If you have any questions or other custom requests please let me know and we can figure it out. Thanks.

Other items people have requested:

I have had a few requests for a 21st century neck turning tool organizer so here is the option. Prices are TYD. Custom requests welcome, just takes a little extra time and $$ depending. Colors are going to be primarily red or black, if you don't specify I will just ship what I have. You can see dimensions in the images also if you have any questions regarding so.


$35 21st Century Neck Turner Organizer: The organizer will hold one tool holder, eleven mandrels and seven case holders. This can be sat on top of a bench or mounted to the wall via two #8 screws.

$45 21st Century Neck Turner Organizer With Lid: This option adds a lid to the organizer. The lid shown In one of the graphics images is translucent to show how it covers the organizer. The actual lid will be a solid color matching the organizer. This can still be mounted to the wall or sat on the bench with the cover on.

I have had a few requests for the amp annealer organizer so here are the options I came up with if anybody would like one. Prices are shipped TYD and I will provide tracking once shipped.

Two main differences are one is setup to accept the amp annealer pilots with the hex thread cover (hex hole model) they come with and the other will only work with the hex cover off (round hole model). If you put the pilots in the hex model without the hex protector on they can tilt a little which isn't an issue but they wont all sit perfectly vertical. I was originally going to just flip them over but the knurling on the pilots is aggressive enough to cut the plastic and make shavings which is annoying and counter productive to the use of an organizer or organizer with cover.

Specify which model you would like please!


$32 TYD Round Amp Annealer Organizer: Holds 12 Amp Pilots and the shellholder. Can be mounted to the wall via two #8 screws or sat atop the bench.
$45 TYD Round Amp Annealer Organizer With Cover: Holds 12 Amp Pilots and the shellholder. Can be mounted to the wall via two #8 screws or sat atop the bench. Cover keeps dust/dirt away.

Excuse me... what?

What possible reason could exist for the American President to surrender to the current leader of al Qaeda in Syria?

We're all tracking that the destruction of secular parliamentary democracy in Iraq led to the formation of an Iranian puppet gov in Baghdad and later a Salafist/ Wahabist terror state in the north, with its capital temporarily in Syria.

We're all tracking that AQ blended into "ISIS"/ Daesh, which during the collapse of the Caliphate led to the split where Jabhat al Nusra denied the authority of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi (Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri) and re-pledged their allegiance to AQ and their leadership in the Terror Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

What a lot of dudes miss is that Abu Mohammed al Jolani (Ahmed al Sharah) was the Syrian counterpart to Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Iraq, and that as an Emir in AQ, he didn't want to lose his high rank in AQ to be a cog in the machine of the Caliphate.

...and so he changed the name of his Terror Group from Jabhat al Nusra to Jabhat Fatah al Sham to Hayat Tahrir al Sham to... The Government of Syria after his Jihadi Blitzkrieg a few months ago.

So, since then, Trump has been itching to surrender to whoever is in charge over there- as part of the Trump Doctrine of Global Surrender.

PROBLEM, though- the Jihadist massacre has not stopped. Alawites in the coastal region are still being slaughtered by AQ.

So... WHY, I WONDER... would the American President show up in the Terror Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, surrender to al Qaeda, and drop all the sanctions?

Mount is in new condition, briefly mounted a scope on the bench, but have decided to go another direction. $375 ,PP F&F

Are many of you guys using these? I bought one and love it. I had been using and still have a half dozen Wilson seating dies and they work great but the Infinity seems like the way to go. Yes at $475 it is expensive but that is the cost of three Wilson seaters and I would guess most people are reloading more than three cartridges so it is actually cheaper in the long run as it works with virtually any cartridge. I also really like the simple click adjustment vs having to loosen the Allen screws to turn the coarse and fine adjustments on the Wilson. No affiliation with SAC just really pleased with this purchase.

Selling a gently used ARC M-Brace 34mm, 1.26", 20moa. The only finish wear is in two spots where the bridge was mounted. I'm asking $230 shipped.
