6x47 Lapua loaded with 80gr Hornady ELD-VT

Has anyone tried to load the new 80gr ELD-VT for 6x47 Lapua? I thought it would be a fun experiment to try, but I have been able to find ZERO load data for this combination. Available powders in my stockpile include N150, RL-17, and 4350. I do have some Staball Match but I have no experience loading with it. I want to save my Varget for other calibers/loads. This will be going through a 1:8 barrel at 26" long with a suppressor. The goal is to have a prairie dog gun that can really extend the range of my current 22-250 and have enough velocity with those VT bullets to really make them pop.

SOLD Zero Compromise Optic ZCO 5-27 MPTC 3x w/ Spuhr Mount

$old for $3800 shipped.

Hey All,
Selling my very low round count ZCO 5-27 w/ Spuhr mount. It probably has 400 rounds on it, and I’m selling it because I have a Tan one on the way. I have several of these optics and they are awesome.

Specs are as follows:
-5-27
-MPCT 3x reticle
-Mfg date 1/2024
-Comes w/ original box, covers ect
-Comes with Spuhr 6602 mount

It has one little grease smear in the anodize you can see in the pics. And it has a tiny glitter spot on the objective lens, pictured , it was hard to capture with the camera without looking like dust. Certainly doesn’t affect anything visually or functionality.

Please message me first to buy or if you have any further questions.

mid power scope $500-1k

Looking for a FFP mid power scope around 3-15, 4-16, or 3-18 to put on a 6.5 grendel. Will be for plinking paper and steel, possibly hunting. Think of a typical SPR / DMR-ish "accurate enough" and not a trying to make a gas gun hit sub MOA targets consistently out at 1000 yards build.

Priorities will include a useful mil reticle at low and high power but moa reticle is acceptable if needed, forgiving eye box and parallax, not too narrow FOV, good clarity / transmission at dusk / dawn, <32oz ideally, ideally with illumination but not absolutely necessary.

Right now it's most likely going to be a Meopta Optika 6 3-18x50 mrad or Athlon Ares ETR 3-18 but am wondering if I'm missing anything else that may work in this price range. Other options I saw but haven't looked through before would be a 3-18 Strike Eagle or a Toric 2.5-15 although just looking at the reticle on paper I would prefer the meopta mrad reticle designed by DLO here.

I would also consider a(nother) Burris XTR3 (probably the non-ilum given the budget here) if I can find one for around or under $1k. I know the 3-18 Trijicon Tenmile was available for about $1100 a year or two ago but I missed that - not sure if either of these can be found for <$1k anymore. Also have an ATACR 4-16 (and a few other similar optics) and definitely acknowledge it's "better" than the above but not worth the $ to me here.

Coating after AW Cut

I've got an Impact 737 I am thinking of sending in to get cut for AW mags. Corrosion resistance is pretty important where I am at.

What are people doing for coating after having action work done? It is already nitrided- I don't know that I can nitride it again. Hard chrome? PVD? Cerakote? At some point it may make sense to just sell it and pick up a factory AW cut action, but being in CA that's a bit of a pain so I am trying to figure out my options.

Ammo 7n6 Poison Pill 5.45x39 ammo

Got this from a buddy who inexplicably opened two tins. The ammo is still lacquer sealed and has been in climate control since opened.

I think 50 cents a round is as cheap as it gets online - two cases of 1,080 (each opened) plus several hundred loose rounds.

ETA - one tin minimum to ship or if you want the loose ammo, IIRC it is 600ish, but I'll get a better count soon and round reasonably in the buyers favor.

Actual shipping applies

This is a like-new, one-owner Ed Brown EVO KC9-LW with only 10 rounds fired through it since it was purchased new recently. Also included is a rough-out Ed Brown IWM holster.

The gun is a work of art. I bought it for my daughter, and she fell in love with a Kimber.

I'm not really looking for trades, but would consider the below.
  • Tangent Theta Glass (JTAC only)
  • ZCO Glass (MPCT1X only)
  • IRay RH25V2
  • P365 Legion if low round count and mint
  • Impact Precision Actions (new or very low round count and mint)

Hornady Lot to lot. 200fps difference?

Anyone know what BA after the Hornady UPC means? Assuming it’s GAP
Had an interesting day shooting today.
I’ve been breaking in my 6GT with factory H109 ammo.
In the past was only getting about 2780fps from them.
Was hoping the barrel would speed up quite a bit, but the rounds are stupid accurate.

Fast forward to today. Grabbed a couple boxes from my stash and went shooting.
Garmin immediately read 2960 for 20rnds
Looked at the box and saw GA after the UPC#
Compared old box to current box. Primers in the fast loads are gold/copper and barely have primer marks on them.

Here’s some pics for reference.
Any help to solve the mystery would help. Thanks Hide.
