    300 Norma Die Advice and Pro-tip

    They seem to size the base of the brass better. I had clickers with another brand of dies. Not with this die. It was new Lapua brass in a factory AXMC barrel, so the chamber may be a little on the large side of the spec? Either way, no issues now.

    6mm creedmore

    I had the same thought when I started with it. If you start to buy brass, you’ll realize creedmoor may be a good option. Brass is pretty cheap and available in both small and large primer options. It can also be necked down from 6.5 brass easily. The common chamber reamers also accommodate...

    Reloading Equipment Free Shipping on all new JHP bullets 500 ct quantities - Lowest Price On the Internet! - This weekend only!

    The ones I have don’t have a cannulare to crimp. I believe this style is designed more for 38 +p loads and a taper crimp. I’m not sure I would want to load full power h110 loads without a heavy crimp. I’ll probably stick to something like CFE pistol. Data is on hodgdon’s site. It makes a...

    I ordered some of the .38 158jhp last week. Shipped super fast and appear to be high quality, especially given the price. Highly recommend.

    Quickload alternatives?

    I haven’t found Quickload or GRT to predict 6 Creedmoor loads accurately. I used QL for years successfully for other rounds, not sure what the issue is with 6 Creed or my chamber. I found the Hornady data to be the closest.

    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    I find necking up from .243 is a little better than using .308. But, nowadays, cheap 6.5 creedmoor is less expensive than sourcing primers, bullets, and powder. AAC ammo is $1.25 ish per round delivered to my front door. It probably shoots better than I do.

    338 LM Knowledgeable people please tell me!!!

    Barrel can also get carbon in throat, sometimes to the point of rings forming in the chamber that are hard to remove. Honestly, it could be a hundred different things…..

    Warm barrel question

    Buy a stick on thermometer and measure it instead of guessing?

    Best Die Sets for 300NM or "Non-Mainstream" Dies worth looking at

    Micron at Bullet Central is worth looking at. Whidden are also great. I have both. Whidden allows for custom neck tension. Micron sizes tighter at the base.

    Anyone shoot AAC 6.5cm ammo?

    The Sabre shoots well. I mostly shoot steel out to 600yds at my local range. I haven't measured the groups from the Sabre, but 1 MOA steel targets are easy to hit. I only shot the SMK stuff at the electronic target because someone else at the range had one and invited me to play because he...

    Anyone shoot AAC 6.5cm ammo?

    I’ve shot a bunch of the Sabre and 140 SMK. Both shoot well in my bolt rifles. The SMK stuff shot .5 moa at 600 as measured by an electronic target through a Proof steel barrel.
