    Hornady 147 GR ELDM QUESTION

    +1 on a better scale. I would definetely get a different scale. Those inexpensive digital ones will give you nothing but heartache and make you question everything. Spend the money on the big dollar ones if you got it. But even a rcbs chargemaster or chargemaster lite will give adequate...

    Hornady 147 GR ELDM QUESTION

    As someone who was new to loading not that many years ago, don’t stress out about really small differences. I used to obsess about it but the truth is most of us can not out shoot our equipment and components these days. It will only stress you out and make reloading a chore instead of fun...

    300Win Results

    Your velocity numbers seemed pretty consistent to me. I would maybe try seating them back further I have a few guns that have liked those eld-m with a longer jump. I have some set with .080 off and they shot way better then close.

    300Win Results

    That 77- 77.4 region looks pretty good to me If you drop that one odd one that shot 2993 at 77.4 that seems to be a nice area with low ES if you stick to the lower end of that node Did you see any pressure signs up that high? Could that have been charge weight issue? What are you throwing...

    300 WM ES spread issue

    Thanks guys what velocities are you guys seeing at those charge weights? I have not annealed yet Fired brass is only once fired and the other is new nosler brass Getting an annealling setup is on my short list though I just bought tons of brass for all my guns so I could get away from...

    300 WM ES spread issue

    I am also thinking about dropping down the charge and hitting a lower velocity. I started here since my Remington 700p liked this range It seem like most guys in that 2980ish range Is anybody having better accuracy and es at a slower velocity? I would rather chase consistency and accuracy...

    300 WM ES spread issue

    I am having trouble with tightening up the extreme spread on a new Bergara HMR in 300wm. I am getting an occasional wild swing on velocity and fliers out of the group. Groups are decent 3/4-1 moa but not great Gun has 100 rounds through it now. I have several other guns I have worked up...

    6.5 creedmoor powder weight 130 eldm

    I ended up at 42.0 grains@ 2890 with my load I just ladder tested I loaded from 40.5 all the way up to 42.9 with zero pressure signs but ran out of case capacity. 42 was more consistent for me so I backed down to that Has been shooting really good for me New Petersen brass SRP 42.0 gr RL16...

    Suppressors anyone suppress a Ruger MK III

    Re: anyone suppress a Ruger MK III I had my 4" barreled Ruger MK III 22/45 Threaded. I use a Gemtech Outback II. I also modified the frame to use 1911 grips. The combo works awesome. The 4" barrel keeps bulk pack ammo subsonic. However it is much quiter with subsonic ammo.
