    Nosler 6.5 Creedmoor Brass: Is it worth the $$

    Tried the link and it doesn't work-??? Now on my 6th firing with Hornady brass (300 rounds). I've been swaging primer pockets in an attempt to extend life. Who knows if it helps or not!

    Primer analysis

    They look just fine to me. More info on guns and specs would help, but: #2180 has acceptable flattening, #2181 & 2182 have no flattening, #2183 also not flat and the firing pin "craters" look like my Rem 700 308, which is typical of the gun. I don't see any ejector marks and you didn't...

    Nosler 6.5 Creedmoor Brass: Is it worth the $$

    Best Chronograph for the $

    Magnetospeed is outstanding. Quick setup, works indoors and out, saves time developing loads. I do see minor POI change - easy enough to re-zero.

    What dies should I buy? Newbie here

    Lots of good advice above. Here's my 2 cents worth: It makes a difference if you're shooting a bolt or a gas gun, hunting or target and at what range. Having said this, for my custom 6.5 CM bolt gun, shooting steel out to 1,400 yd I use: 1. Redding Body Die with new brass and every 5th loading...
