    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    Thanks for the heads-up in the change in production models. With the removal of the 653611 I won't be following this one. Hoping someone at Meopta is paying attention here.

    Bullet Lots - COAL and CBTO Inconsistencies

    It occurred to me this morning that the problem is obviously in the bullets and that I should look at them by themselves (without being loaded). Lot A Bullet ONLY Measurements: Bullet Base to Ogive: 0.657" Overall length (bullet base to tip): 1.231" Lot A Bullet ONLY Measurements: Bullet Base...

    Bullet Lots - COAL and CBTO Inconsistencies

    Doing a couple of ladders for a 6.5G AR and had to move to a new bullet lot from ladder 1 to ladder 2. Bullets are 123gr. Hornady ELD-M, using Redding dies. Found something I find very peculiar: Everything is identical other than powder type and weight: processed at the same time, through the...

    Shoulder won't bump but no feeding issues

    Bench is plenty sturdy. If different lube doesn't work my next cheapest solution is sending the die to Forster. Hopefully skip buying a press and keep my shekels for a Magnetospeed.

    Shoulder won't bump but no feeding issues

    I think you're right. Other than that I'm wondering if there's too much flex in the press but it would surprise me with a smaller case like 6.5 creedmoor.

    Shoulder won't bump but no feeding issues

    @padom Good questions and thanks for the digging. Responses underlined below. How do you know your shoulders arent bumping back? You havent mentioned taking measurements with a case headspace comparator. Yes - using a Hornady Headspace Gauge. Do you have the Hornady Case Headspacs gauge...

    Shoulder won't bump but no feeding issues

    Thanks all for the information. I'm using a Lanolin based spray on lube from a local reloading place. Forster did recommend trying a different lube and will be sending a sample. If that doesn't do it, I may send the die in. @TJC regarding FL size or shoulder bump, I thought I was trying to...

    New Tikka Tac a1 6.5cm range report

    Jefe: How far are you seating off the lands? I'm quite a bit longer at 2.273 CBTO for .020" off. Using Hornady 1x fired brass I also haven't been able to (likely unneeded just yet) bump the shoulders.

    Scar 17s eat optics and accessories

    FWIW I had a Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 fail on a SCAR 17 not once, but twice. Both times in an ADM Delta mount. No problems (though still early) with a NF 2.5-10.

    Forster 6.5mm Creedmoor Dies - Availability

    Coming up on a time crunch to land some 6.5mm Creedmoor dies and can't find any Forster dies in stock (Graf's, PV, Cabela's, Optics Planet, Midway, Brownells, Midsouth, etc.) I'm looking for a FL sizing die and the micrometer seating die. I almost hate to post it but is anyone aware of a...
