    IMR 4350 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    So you had a different experience than I did with your reloads than I did with my reloads. You got an average of 0.5% difference between the two powders. I said IMR was slightly faster "in my experience". I made no statement that IMR was universally faster under all conditions. I don't...

    IMR 4350 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    I have used both IMR4350 and H4350 loading .260 Rem but only a limited amount as I'm still working up a load. The only thing I can say is that given identical powder charges, in my experience anyway, the IMR4350 powder was slightly faster and I reached pressure signs slightly earlier than...

    Berger's VLD load testing

    Nice. Can you elaborate on what the targets are with the line through the info lines on the left? For example the group where you had three rounds in one hole there is no data on seating depth, etc. Is that because you shot two three round groups at each seating depth? This is interesting...

    help identifying odd ammo found buried in the desert.

    Having trouble working up a load...could use some advice.

    I should have clarified. I didn't have my notes with me when I made the post earlier today so I was going off memory. When I said "I think" I just meant I wasn't sure of the exact number from memory. I am aware of the method to measure the jam/jump and use a comparator. There was no...

    Having trouble working up a load...could use some advice.

    Thanks. If you mean operator error, aka jerking the trigger, etc. I don't think that's playing a role. I've shot small groups before with rifles with worse triggers and optics than this setup. Looking at a target at 22x at 100 yards and a very light trigger like mine, on sandbags on a stable...

    Having trouble working up a load...could use some advice.

    I can check when I get home but I'm almost certain it is loaded longer than published data. I found the lands and then backed off .004". At this length they fit in the detachable box mags, they have sufficient bullet in the neck, etc. Is his chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Having trouble working up a load...could use some advice.

    Hey gang, I'm a bit of newb on this site and hope to contribute where I can but I'm looking for some help today. I have been reloading for a few years and have worked up some loads that have shot sub 0.5" 5 shot groups at 100 yards with a bolt action .223 with a 3-9x scope, 1" groups with an...
