    Anyone else use N150 in the 6.5cm?

    N150 might be a fuzz on the fast side for the Creedmoor; N160 may be a better fit. Haven't used either in the 6.5CM as I'm still sitting on a multi year supply of H4350 (need to get out and shoot it more) but I have ran a *lot* of N150 through both the 223 and 308. Which why I have a hard...

    Bullets, not ammo, in carry on luggage?

    Long ago and far away, on the way home from the 2009 F-class World Championships, a few bright sparks did something similar. The ammo had all been shipped ahead to jolly old England by a team sponsor before the event, went through customs, held in secure storage, etc. etc. All we had to do was...

    Bullets, not ammo, in carry on luggage?

    You'd be better off putting it in your checked luggage, and eating the overweight charges. Probably less than your PH would have to pay for those bullets - by far.

    Getting back to 308, need advice on bullet options

    Oh you can do anything... once. At one point I was trying to hit the 'fast' node for the 20Xs in one of my 30" FTR barrels - there was a predicted sweet spot around 2720 or so. And there absolutely was - ten shots into a quarter moa group @ 300 yds. Problem was the load to do that absolutely...

    Getting back to 308, need advice on bullet options

    Again, irrelevant for the OP's stated use case.

    Getting back to 308, need advice on bullet options

    Given that the OP plans on staying in Tac class, I'm not sure single-loading 200 gr bullets is a viable option. That said... I'm curious what length of freebore you're running those 2230's in? I'm *very* familiar with running 200.20Xs in FTR length barrels. 2550 out of a 20-22" barrel seems a...

    Help with primer pockets on Alpha brass

    I'd had some experience with SRP primers seating unrealistically hard in new Lapua .308 Palma brass, and all reaming the primer pocket seemed to do was get the damn tool stuck. So when I got some Alpha OCD 308 Win SRP brass, I sprung for a PMA primer pocket tool - supposedly made very slightly...

    Post Your AMP Press Plots

    Not enough to notice. How much are you slathering on there?

    Which picture goes to which treatment? Sounds like you had three batches, and I only see two pics?

    Reloading Bench

    Something that's worked pretty well for me in the past has been a double layer of 3/4 MDF - basically cut a sheet in half length-wise, and trim to fit - topped with a piece of 1/8" tempered hardboard on top. Think the stuff they used to make the old brown peg board out of, but without the...

    Hornady on Load Development

    Interesting. Not quite what I expected, but good to know 👍

    Hornady on Load Development

    Eh... I enjoyed it. For my hunting/plinking/tacticool guns, it's about where I've ended up at, after going down pretty much all the same rabbit holes. I'm maybe not all the way there as far as being *quite* so minimalistic in the approach, but close. Turn the big knobs, find a 'good enough'...

    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    The features at least 'look' like they're turned on now... haven't grabbed an old target to scan and test it with yet.

    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    "Check is in the mail", got it 👌 The proper course would have been to a) refund the accounts that can't access the feature(s) and b) fucking respond to the customers when they ping him.

    Ballistic-X "Advanced Toolkit"

    Nope. Got a standard "I'm so sorry, send me your info and I'll get you a code" email back in January, and then... nothing. Poked him a time or two via email, no response. About ready to start blowing up his phone, or report the app for fraud to the Google Play store.
