    6.5 Creedmoor

    not a typo, I got the data from Hornady online app. They said max is 43.8, I kept going up till I had Pressure signs, I was able to get it as far as 44.5 before the groups blew out and the bolt handle got real tight. I have found that the Berger 140 VLD does better groups and I can get 2900fps +...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    The first is the virgin brass, the second with the same load but with 2 firings on the brass. The rifle is a 700 action with a criterion barrel. I don’t have the headspace measurement, but I ran Pacific tool and dies headspace gauges through it when I was putting it together. I’m running the...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Question on Brass. I picked up some Norma Brass for my new 6.5 Rig, Running 34.2 of Stabol 6.5 with the 147ELD Match. Virgin Brass is incredibly tight groups, I get 2860 from a 26 inch. I then FL resize the brass and the groups open up a lot. IS this indicative of Norma brass or of 6.5. The...

    Question on bullet seating.

    That’s why I was wondering with the LE Wilson being a more precise seat. Is that why it would have the differences between say the 6 Dasher and the 223

    Question on bullet seating.

    I’ll do this. As for your last point on the FYI, all 5 groups were a ragged hole. Maybe I should just stop worrying about it

    Question on bullet seating.

    I was running 5 shot load development groups. The STD DeV variance was that spread across the 5 control groups.

    Question on bullet seating.

    Question guys. Does bullet seating effect std dev? The issue I’m getting, with my dasher and 308, I get a std dev in the single digits, my 223 bolt gun is getting around 25 to 30 std Div. My process is the same on all, but the difference is I use LW Wilson seating die for the dasher and the 308...
