First adventure with a BR family cartridge - impressed so far

This is my first adventure with a BR family cartridge and so far I'm super impressed. I had a spare Bartlein heavy varmint barrel chambered in 6 CM (by SPR) for my main PRS rifle laying around so I decided to send it back to SPR to re-chamber it for 6mm BRA. I only lost 1.40 inches of barrel length, so it is now 24.6 inches instead of my normal 26 inch preference. This is also my first use of Peterson brass and Berger bullets. I can say I'm very happy thus far with only 70 rounds down the barrel and with zero load development.

The targets below were shot two different days. The targets to the left of the black sharpie mark were 3/28 which also included scope adjustments. The targets to the right of the black sharpie mark were 3/31 and no scope adjustments. The farthest right group had a weird issue. The CCI 450 primer wouldn't ignite. I had to cycle the bolt over a dozen times before it finally ignited, which ended up making that group just over 1 moa. I guess I was ticked off and not set. Had a real nice group going on that one until the primer issue. In all my years of using CCI primers, this is the first time one didn't work. WTF?

Sounds like Terrorist Training to me....


Bet they are training on how to mostly-peacefully protest. With molotov cocktails, intimidation, threats...

You know who had an organization just like this? Here's a hint. He was a failed painter and struggled a lot...

So if you are funding this and it does ANYTHING approaching calling for violence... 'someone' can be charged, removed from Congress, have her Naturalized Citizenship stripped... and sent back to Southwest Asia. This is one way to deal with squad members who are clearly anti-American and want to destroy us from Congress. Run by the Democratic Socialists of America.

Velocity differences between 6.5cm brass brands

I am mot an expert reloader by any meansI load a lot of 6.5cm and have accumulated a number of type of brass. I have noticed using different brass results in big changes in muzzle velocity.

For example my Hornady large primer brass loaded with 41.8gr H4350 147gr ELD-M and 210M primer averages 2572fps with an SD of 14 on the first loading.

Using Federal large primer brass with 41.5gr (0.3gr less) powder and 210M primers is considerably faster at 2702fps, SD 11 although that was on the second loading.

The Federal brass is about 20gr heavier. Neither are annealed. Is the slightly reduced case capacity the reason for the increased speed?

I have noticed that my brass from slowest to fastest is:

Hornady large primer
Lapua small primer
Federal small primer
Federal large primer

Changing brass brands causes the biggest velocity shift I have noticed, much more than different primers or even a small changes in charge weight. I would expect some change but that seems like a lot.

Is this normal? Are the higher speeds with some brands just a free velocity increase? Does anyone else track this or am I just an idiot for having so many types of brass or possibly doing something else wrong? The Hornady handloads sat for the better part of a year.

A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

So I just bought a nice Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 FFP Mil Red, all of 19 oz of it. And I got it for a steal of a deal. That aside, I knew I need some new 1 piece mounts that didn't weigh a ton, so I let my fingers do the walking in the digital marketplace.

And while shopping my angst was aroused by many a well known purveyor's of said mounts. Why?? Because many simply do not list the weight of their creations. I mean like come on. Weight or lack thereof is immensely important in cobbling together a good scope and mount combination. The prices are easy enough to find, but weight seems mysteriously absent in many cases.

I first went to Trijicon since mating a scope with the makers own mounts seemed like a good idea at first. Well not so good. Trijicon's 1.59" High Cantilevered Mount caught my eye. They gave spec's on everything, except the weight.

Moving on to Nightforce, they had a nice X-Treme Duty 30mm 1.54" 0 MOA Ultramount #A699. But the weight of the dang thing is apparently a military secret as it is nowhere listed.

Badger Ordnance Badger Ordnance 30mm One-Piece 1.54" Condition One Modular 0 MOA I finally found (6.5 oz) only by going to Badger's own website. And they are priced north of $300 green backs, which is a bit spendy for a sub-1K$ lpvo like the Credo.

Rather than bore you with further travails down my personnel rabbit hole, I think you get my point. Scope base makers, especially those that charge well north of $200. semoleon's should put their weight of their product front and center everywhere they are sold. I shouldn't have to go to multiple places just to find out.

Anyway, in the end, I went with an old standby Primary Arms PLx 30mm Cantilever Mount - 1.5". About $212. bucks for a 5.9 oz mount, before tax & shipping, with my GI discount.

Primary Arms 30mm PLx Cantilever Mount - 1.5"
