    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    Been reading some of this thread with amusement and was curious... You posted this in February so what decision did you make?

    Visited Dead Zero Shooting Park

    Moved to this area 2 yrs ago and just got a membership last week. Interestingly enough, I find myself missing the "no rules" of a PRS type facility. ( Don't misinterpret that statement, You know exactly what I mean when compared to NRA type events) It's a very nice facility, and staff is very...

    No regrets with the following... *DTNVS w/com-spec tubes from NGI/TNVC *TNVC mil-spec PVS14 *MAWL C1+ *Ops Core FAST SF Ballistic *Team Wendy CF Bump The "I want" part of my brain wishes I would have gotten mil spec tubes in the DTs but their performance in field use and during Greenline's Night...

    Seating Pressure / Neck Tension

    I'd probably first see if a mandrel pass either makes it go away...or not. It will likely take a brass problem off the table.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    153 gr A-Tips 43.0 gr Staball Norma brass Fed 210M LRP .020 jump 26" barrel 1000 yards Wind kicked up on the last 2 targets and boogered the groups but 12 for 12 with some 3" groups. 1st 3 rounds were to check zero.

    Zero press

    And it's beefy enough to still see what you're doing under NV. How could you not love it?

    Zero press

    For me I wasn't looking for better ammo so much a a better way to make it. Loading 2 different calibers with single stage precision is a major hassle. You can switch operations in under a minute and the turret locks so tight it's like a part of the body. I NEVER touch my dies once set up...

    Trouble finding the lands two different methods with wildly different results²

    Not my theory. One of the top PRS gunsmiths in the country showed me in person how this happens with the SAAMI blueprint sitting on the bench. It doesn't have to be crooked. Normal bullet diameter runout variation can cause it in a tight chamber. Hornady 140s do it in mine. They shoot...

    Trouble finding the lands two different methods with wildly different results²

    Depending on your chamber, your wildly different measurements suggested by the short measurement... you're likely touching the start of the freebore diameter, not the lands. Push the bullet past that point (wiggle it) and you'll feel it jump forward and stop again. That 2nd stop is the lands...

    .308 Winchester

    Found a good node at like 40.9gr of XBR but was busy prepping a 6.5 load for a match and haven't tested seating depth yet.

    Alternate to Berger 140 hybrids (6.5)

    That's like strutting through Ethiopia waving around a chicken sammich.

    Alternate to Berger 140 hybrids (6.5)

    I just did up a load with 140 ELDs that's stupid good. Surprised actually as I've never had great results with Hornady.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Just finished this load: Norma brass Remington LRP 44.5gr Staball 140 ELDM @ .020 jump 26" barrel The upper node is a full grain over Max book value with no pressure signs or powder compression. Had a slight right to left at 1k but you can see the vertical spread is stellar. On the smaller...

    .308 Winchester

    I don't doubt you. If we all knew exactly why certain components don't work for some we be in business making magic bullets. My experience with Hornady is factory 6.5cm and that shit is one hole ammunition out of my match gun, but in the past their lot to lot consistency has been less than...
