Starline makes awesome consistent (.224 Valkyrie)brass for those considering wildcatting 6.8 based cases with long, high BC bullets…. Just saying! It gives you more capacity than 5.56 cases and short enough to use long projectiles . The gentleman that created the 6mm Max gives a volume...

This is a very expensive hobby for me as I'm not a machinist or gunsmith. I've been loading since 1986 and focused mostly on the ballistics side of loading and only started wildcatting in the last six years...

it's really good to see people thinking outside the box to create/innovate for the sideliners to criticize without letting it stifle you creativity. This is a hobby of mine as well and I love seeing projects come to fruition.

This is a sign that powder is being pushed into the gas system prematurely and unburned. A longer gas system will be required…… to the industry “it’s not that hard!” Please put the sales people in the back seat!!!

Sadly this was the same issue with the .224 Valkyrie…. I hope that they will not make the same mistake with the .22ARC because it uses powders in the 4350 burn range…. Slower burn rate on a small bore diameter barrel absolutely will affect your dwell time in comparison with powders used for...

The.250Glx is getting a Redux… as the .250GlxRx aka the “Remedy “! I saw a trend during the work-ups that said a little more can be achieved with the concept!!! Very promising!!

I actually worked up a .257 based on the .224Valkyrie case that produces 2600fps from 110gr ELD-x & 110gr GameChangers , 2800+ fps with 100gr Nosler BT & Partitions and 2900+fps with Speer 87gr TNTs & HotCores and Sierra’s 90gr Bltitzking projectiles… this is the most consistent cartridge that...

you make very good points... and I've a Hand loader for 35yrs!!

corrections If you guys would like more information on why Hornady needed to step up look to White Oak Armory, where they show the destroyed 6mm ARC BCGs because the chamber and cartridge Designs wasn't quite perfect. IMO, I believe that the chamber cut is probably the critical issue being...

Here's my dime's worth but feel free to give me some change back. This subject is relative to the platform being used. The 8.6Blackout is relegated to platforms based on 308 size cartridges. The .338Spectre was an awesome concept based on the AR15 platform and it's execution wasn't pushed to the...

RL26 (high bulk density) has yielded the highest velocity of the powders I've tested Including RL16, RL17, StaBall6.5, H4350, SW4350 . StaBall6.5 is next on the list using 110gr ELD-x and 110gr Game Changer because it's available

It's very good playing it safe as there's no published data but worked all the way up to 50.0gr with finding my sweet spot at 48.0gr with RL26..... the data that was generated from QuickLoad did not compare at all

Hornady now makes the 134gr ELD-x Item #2561

The failure to thorough with cartridge development has killed cartridges that I enjoy for different reasons. It seems that the industry needs to revisit the interviews that several of the engineers that work on the M-16 project…. I makes me SMH as to why the industry still treats the AR15s with...
