    Alliant AR-Comp...anyone use it for .223/5.56?

    Was in my local gun shop today looking for powder. Bet ya never guess what I found, not a damn thing I was looking for. Can you believe it! Anyway they had some Alliant AR-Comp on the shelf. The guy behind the counter says it has a burn rate close to Varget and RL15. I didn't buy any cause I...

    Mags: Accurate vs Mcrees Precision?

    Looking to buy a couple spare mags for my Creedmoor. I've read thru all the posts on this site that I could find on AI, Accurate, and Alpha mags. Seems AI are what everything else is compared to. It seems that Accurate mags are preferred over Alpha. I found a manufacturer, McRees Precision, that...

    Forster Ultra seater die..

    I emailed Forster about 6.5 Creedmoor dies last week. They told me they hope to have them available in a couple of months. They said they would notify me when they are available. Send them an email if you want to be notified as well. Shabo

    FL resizing bushing die, without the bushing?

    I have a bushing FL resizing die. I use a separate collet neck sizing/decapping die on my brass. My question is whether I should leave the bushing in the sizing die even though I use the collet die to size my necks. Does the bushing keep the brass positioned correctly in the die during use? ...

    Neck Tension - adjust it when?

    Thanks to all for the replies. I'm working up a load for a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. I'm in the process of determining how far from the lands to seat the bullet. I've got some good groups (about 1/2") at 100 yds with three different loads. I'm gonna load them again and see what they'll do @ 200yds...

    Neck Tension - adjust it when?

    Been reading about the reloading process recently. I've come across some posts talking about neck sizing and the amount of tension the neck applies to the bullet. My question is what do you look for in the performance of your reloaded ammo that would indicate a need to make an adjustment to the...

    Forster or Whidden dies?

    Looking to buy some new dies to reload 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo. I've read a lot of good reviews for Forster and Whidden dies. I'd like to get the micrometer seater and the full length sizer. Anyone out there have experience with both brands? Forster doesn't produce the Creedmoor dies as of yet but...

    Brass growth slower than expected

    EMorr, thanks, good suggestion. I'll give that a try when I get a chance. What's goin' on in Colorado man? Shocking news outa your state for sure. Pawprint2, someone on this sight read an earlier post of mine inquiring about a collet neck size die for the 6.5CM. This person suggested...

    Brass growth slower than expected

    Pawprint2, I had the Lee 6.5CM collet neck die made from a .260 Rem collet die. It works great. I read one of the sticky posts here that suggested you shoot the brass till it won't chamber. Then you adjust your full length sizing die to bump the shoulder back just enough to allow the case to...

    Brass growth slower than expected

    I've got a 6.5 Creedmoor rig that I've been trying to work up a load for. I'm new to reloading and I've been reloading and shooting a group of 20 cases. I've been trying to get the brass to the point that it won't chamber in my rifle so I can bump the shoulders back and set my full length die...

    139gr Scenar/6.5 CM/H4350...recipes?

    Anyone out there have a good recipe using 139gr Lapua Scenars over H4350 for the 6.5 Creedmoor? The reloading data I was able to find on these bullets did not include the 6.5CM. I've been running 140gr Hornady A-Max's over 41.5gr of H4350 set back .005" from the lands with pretty good results...
