    Scoring on Brass

    Here is a follow-up: I inked a spent case with a red sharpie and cycled it through the action. With careful observation I was able to locate the source of the scoring as can be seen in the attached photos. This is an Impact Precision 737R. I plan to dress the affected area with some 2000 grit...

    There are several recent Hornady podcasts about ballistics that are worth watching on Youtube. Some myths are dispelled and observations explained. BTW, I am not associated with Hornady in any way except that I use some of their products as well as those from other manufacturers.

    6.5 PRC and RL-16?

    Very useful info. I appreciate it. I have loaded RL-16 for 6.5 CM 130gr hybrids and for 6mm CM 105 hybrids and been very happy with the results, but will be getting a 6.5 PRC which is why I ask. I’ll probably shoot 140 ELD-M and 147’s. We’ll have to see. Anyone with a favorite 6.5PRC load who...

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    6.5CM Has killed elk and mulie. Pretty sure ok for antelope. Caveat, elk less that 100 yds, mulie at 150. Just make a good shot.
