    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    Thumper580, what powder(s) are you using in your loads? The reason I ask, is that in the past, I've used temp sensitive powders before min an AR load... And by the time I got to the 3rd and 4th shots, the chamber had gotten so hot from the previous rounds, the temp powder in the brass/round...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    It is my opinion that any round with a “longer” bullet sticking out the front of the brass, has more negative impact on the bullet’s seating as it is extracted from the mag, and is ran up the barrel extension/feed ramps. The bullet gets slammed forward into the feed ramp(s), and “hopefully” the...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Does the accuracy drop off at all after 4 or 5 shots? Or does it hold pretty good. My 16” 6.5 G Faxon will always put the first 2 rounds almost touching, and after that she opens up to an inch or so… I can’t remember the profile, but it’s fairly thin.

    Loads for 6.5 SAUM 4S

    My 6.5 SAUM has a 28” barrel, but I used a reamer that had .170”freebore. It is lights out accurate, with the 123, 140 and 147 ELDs. But I seem to be getting “sporadic” meaurement when I am checking for bullet jump… I’m thinking about building a 6.5 SAUM AR, on a LR308 large frame, so I am...

    Quickloads says with a 2.915" COAL, a 23" barrel and with 63.2 grains of N570, you will be at 102% fill (so your powder will be crunchin'...) Max Psi for the 6.5 SAUM is 65,000 It states the pressure with a 156 Berger and 63.2 grains of N570 your 6.5 SAUM pressure will be 58,800 psi and the...

    Loads for 6.5 SAUM 4S

    You by chance haven’t shot any hornady 140 or 123ELD‘s out of that have you? With that .081” free bore? If so, do you remember what your COAL was? Thanks.

    I'm having the best luck with shorter bullets... the shorter the bullet the better the groups 155 ELDs at 3450 fps, are around 3/4 to 1" groups with a slower rate of fire. Shoot it fast, the group opens up.
