    260 rem AR 10 for long range

    consider 6.5 creedmoor The .260 vs 6.5 creedmoor debate has been done to death, but lots of folks feel the creeds shorter oal makes it a little more semi auto friendly with similar overall ballistics. Lots of opinions on this but it is something to consider. Gap 10 in 6.5 cm rocks.

    First Tumble with a Thumler

    Thanks for the tip. I got that formula off the net, but I will try using less next time. Also, how much water do you guys use? I had about 150 cases then filled up the canister with water; it worked but I had the feeling that the motor was struggling a bit the weight. I am going to use either...

    First Tumble with a Thumler

    Formal review = Get one, it rocks. Seriously though, a lot of people don't care how the brass looks, but if you do, this thing is on a different level than a vibrator or ultrasonic. The flash holes and primer pockets are pristine. I used 5 lbs of stainless steel media, 1/8 cup of...

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    I would challenge some of the people in this thread to consider the .22 shortage from wider perspective than your individual perception that “I had the foresight to hoard .22 ammo, now those who did not are complaining”. This is a circular argument that only has veracity when looking at the...

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    I would dearly love to hoard a couple of the DTA HTIs you have in the for sale section. Is anyone hoarding 20k .50 cal rounds?

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    Apologies to STR did not mean to single out your post, it came off a little more aggressive than I meant it.

    HORNADY 6.5 Creedmoor brass?????

    I will put in a plug for new Hornady 6.5 brass. Those who are heavily into brass prep will sing the importance of flash hole uniforming and primer pocket uniforming as a one time process that all new brass should go through once in its life. It is often mentioned that Lapua brass does not need...

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    There has been a lot of good discussion in this thread, stuff like the above quote does not qualify however. I am not just crying about it, I have spent more money and time than I should on gun related hobbies this year, gap-10, aw-ax, reloading stuff etc., and as others have pointed out, I can...

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    Ok, so I am not a competitive rimfire guy, but I do like to plink as much as the next guy. While I think that for the most part the hoarders have gone a bit overboard, I do kind of get the concept of grabbing a couple of AR 15 type rifles since they have recently been on the political chopping...

    Frustrated - I need help with my OAL measurements!

    Thanks for your reply, but just to clarify... I am just referring to the measurement of OAL using the Hornady OAL gauge. I can seat the bullets just fine to any length I want, I just am not sure what OA length to target. The Hornady system that I am using has a "modified case" that is...

    Frustrated - I need help with my OAL measurements!

    I have been trying to up my reloading game for 6.5 Creedmoor, generally following the recommendations in the reloading for long range stickies above. I am having trouble getting repeatable measurements from the Hornady OAL gauge. People talk about seating bullets ".001 in. off the lans", but...

    How do Whidden Mic seaters measure up?

    They are excellent; I have the 6.5 Creed.
