8.6 Blk reloading info

I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading.

Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/

The first hurdle was figuring out a way to resize brass since factory brass I'd imagine is a ways out. I did manage to get my hands on a set of prototype 8.6 blk reloading dies that I'll be using.

I noticed at first I was getting some ripples in the neck when I did a full length resize and neck up from 6.5 to 8.6 all in one step.

Running the brass through an Annealeez proved to give much better results when pushing the shoulder back.

Shooters accuracy magnum vs short action?

Hello All,

I'm trying to figure out if I've got unrealistic expectations or if I need to get some instruction. I understand that the basics become more important as recoil increases, and I think I've got the basics down pretty well. I've got a switch barrel rifle, and when I shoot 6.5 Creedmoor, I'm a consistent 1/2 MOA shooter at 100 yards (on a good day, I've shot multiple groups in the .25-.35 MOA range), and I can hit an 18"x30" silhouettte at 1k 8 out of 10 if conditions aren't too crazy. When I shoot the 300 PRC, I'm shooting .6-.75 MOA at 100 yards and 5 out of 10 at 1K. I'm shooting a heavy suppressed rifle, so I don't feel like I'm flinching. Do I just need to get some instruction, or is there something I'm not thinking about?

I'm using Hornady ELD Match for both calibers.

Thank you!

JP rifle HP bolt/firing pin question

A couple years back I traded into an 18"JP LRP 308. Fantastic gun and shoots fggm sub moa. Came with the proprietary JP HP bolt and firing pin.

GF likes to make noise, not a bad shot but just enjoys shooting what costs the most. Put a 50 on the table and she wants to shoot it like it's a 22... anyways. I had some loose tula steel case and Hirt 7.62 in the bag so I gave her a mag full to plink with. Broke the HP firing pin. Hard primers, is this common or just random bad luck?

I purchased a couple hp firing pins and a JP standard bolt and firing pins, gas rings for both. Would a standard JP 308 bolt and firing pin be less likely to break in the future with fggm or surplus? Any other maintenance parts I should get? Thanks in advance
