    6 ARC Gas Guns

    How far up the neck is your current charge? Or is it still below the neck? Obviously seating out will give you more space for powder. Is there any reason to go with that shorter OAL? Have you tested a longer OAL? Most 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel mags will allow longer seating depths. I do not have...

    6 ARC Gas Guns

    Use 2 3" extensions? That's what I use, but I'm probably trying to make up for something. I use a 24" drop tube when I load black powder and I can get 80 grains of 1.5F in a 45/70 fireformed case. With a regular funnel, 77 grains will fill it to the rim. 1.5F is bulky. Not apples to apples...

    6mm ARC brass deformed

    Maybe, or maybe not. I use the Rexus Ultrabolt for 6.5 Grendel and 6ARC, and while all the "tricks" appear to be done, I still give them a polish under the magnifier. I use either a JP FMOS, Young Manufacturering NM, or most recently the Griffin Enhanced carriers and they only get shot...

    Power trimmer vs Annealer vs Powder Scale

    A very good scale would be #1, annealer #2, then if you want the convenience and really think you can't live without it the powdered trimmer. There, solved it in an efficient manner!

    6mm ARC brass deformed

    Then keep going down (close it up), and a heavier buffer and/or stronger spring. BigJake, Supercorndogs, and others pretty much covered it. That ammo is showing high pressure in your rifle in it's current configuration. The flattened neck is of no concern, but the shaved brass from the...

    6.5 Grendel

    You are correct, I just haven't gotten around to shooting any yet. I did load some with Berger 120 BT's Sunday afternoon but I will have to wait until the upcoming weekend to see what they do. Looking forward to it. In any 6.5 Grendel rifle I have shot, a 120 SMK should shoot well, and with...

    6.5 Grendel

    Understand about the "not enough time".

    6.5 Grendel

    Yeah, no doubt on the Varget being "crunchy" in that amount. I'm tempted to try some N540 in the Grendel as I have quite a bit of it and use it in the 6ARC. Smaller granules, or at least shorter, than Varget. I don't shoot high volume in either the Grendel's or 6ARC's, so if there is shorter...

    6.5 Grendel

    I can put more than that in there. Well, I can stuff more LeverRevolution in there anyway and since granule size is close enough, CFE would be similar. What brand cases are you using? I am also not seating to a 2.260" OAL. Every magazine I have (especially the modified one's) will take a 2.290"...

    6.5 Grendel

    I bought a Pac-Nor 20" 1-8 RLGB on a whim about a month back. The seller had a few sitting around for some time and had never used them, so decided to get them out of his way. Since it was a good price and I always wanted too try one of the 3 groove barrels, money was spent. The first thing I...

    thermal fit upper assembly question.

    I do use a grease. I use a very thin coating of CMC Silaramac brake caliper grease, which won't burn off, and slide the barrel in. I use SS shim stock (.001 or .0015 depending on the tolerances), and thermal fit every upper/barrel I have. So many of the uppers I prefer aren't undersized, so...

    Sgt of Arms? Still in Business?

    I found them a month or so back. I wasn't looking for handguards, I was looking for another .441" Belt Buster die. I don't remember the guys name I talked to, but he is knowledgeable on the Grendel/ARC casehead. I already had one Belt Buster die from SoA so I was familiar with how well they...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Unless I miss my guess, that little demon is a M60 357 Magnum. I bought one in 2000ish. I finally changed out my front sight a couple years ago to a taller blade so it shot to point of aim (and some better micarta grips). If you don't hit what you are aiming at, you will probably still set it on...

    2 heavy bolt lifts and dirty cases

    I have found RUAG SR primers to be softer (for lack of a better word) than 450's, GMM AR, or 7 1/2's. Not sure why you are seeing dirty cases with a heavier charge. Benchmark is not a powder I use so I can't help there. I have shot a few thousand of the 107 SMK in the Grendel and I use 8208...
