    Wilson Die Questions

    I am going to get a Wilson Die Kit 2 which includes the Case gage, bullet seater & the bushing FLD (full length die). It does not include the neck bushing. I am just getting into 6.5 creedmoor & waiting for my MPA rifle. I have 500 rounds of Eagle Eye Ammo which uses Alpha SRP brass. I don't...

    Low Cost Annealers

    I have not annealed brass before and want to start. What are some decent low cost annealers? Alternatively, I got all of the parts for a DIY annealer (Elfster's) following this youtube: Anybody use this DIY annealer?

    6.5 Creedmoor - 147 ELD-M H4350 SRP Loads

    Agreed. Do not expect barrel speed to stabilize until at least 200 rounds. Figure I can tweak the load at that point. Just want to be able to get some use & practice out of the rifle and not wait until barrel fully broken in. Will definitely stick to the heavier bullets - 147 and up. Any...

    6.5 Creedmoor - 147 ELD-M H4350 SRP Loads

    Just starting to load 6.5 Creedmoor. Picked up (500) 147 gr. ELD-M bullets & 3 lbs. of H4350. Will be using Alpha SRP brass. This will be shot out of a Masterpiece Arms rifle w/ a 26" barrel for PRS shooting out to 1000 yards. Seems like most people end up between 41 to 42 grains & 0.020...

    Starting to Load 6.5 Creedmoor - which dies?

    I have loaded for some time but never have been as good of a precision rifle reloader as I would like to be. I have all the basic equipment & have been loading for 5.56 & .308 but now need to get set up for 6.5 creed. Plan on full length sizing - which die model & manufacturer? Always have...

    Cutting Barrel Down on 300BLK MCX

    Not hunting at all. But do want ability to hit accurately to 300 or 400 yards. Not worried about the drop, but low velocity & low BC make doping the wind VERY challenging, so I want to keep the velocity up. With 125 gr. bullets I am getting 2250 FPS out of my 16" barrel. I am guessing that...

    Eagle Ammo - 6.5 Creedmoor 140 gr. Berger Hybrids

    Just picked up 500 rounds of Eagle Eye ammo for a 6.5 Creedmoor. Got 140 gr. Berger Hybrids for $235 / 100 rounds. I'm just getting into 6.5 (just shot 308 & 5.56 before) and needed some brass. At that price I'd spend almost the same on components. The brass is made by Alpha. The guy that...

    Cutting Barrel Down on 300BLK MCX

    Sorry. Thought you were just being a smart a** putting in an arbitrary number like 16.1". Again, don't want to sacrifice too much supersonic performance. Also, the sig barrel is not cheap (approx. $800). After I chop down, will have no use for my 16" barrel.

    Cutting Barrel Down on 300BLK MCX

    My suppressor is 7.5" long. A 10.5" barrel results in 18" barrel/suppressor length (I'll help you: 10.5"+7.5" = 18"). Don't want to get below 10.5" because I'll be giving up too much supersonic performance. 16.1" results in a barrel length of 8.6" which for me is too short of a barrel. They...

    Cutting Barrel Down on 300BLK MCX

    I have a Sig MCX in 300 Blackout w/ a 16" barrel. The rifle shoots very well for what it is. Consistently 2 moa or better. Not talking about the best 3 round group shot ever but consistently shooting 2 moa based on five groups of five shots. Anything from subs to 125 gr. supers. Anyway, I want...

    MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II - Folder or not?

    I just ordered a MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II rifle. This has their BA ESR chassis. I ordered it with a folding stock. I don't really need a folder but many people say that cleaning is easier. The rifle is already fairly heavy and the folder adds about 8 oz. I can still change the order...

    How far is a 18" 223 good for as a trainer

    How far can a 5.56/223 w/ an 18" barrel be used as a trainer? Reason I ask is because I just got a Seekins HIT PRO w/ a 18" 223 barrel. I'm guessing that the I'll be launching 75 grain ELD-M bullets at no more than 2750 FPS. Basing this on getting 2850 out of a 22" barrel. My load for that...

    Just got a Seekins HIT PRO

    Just bought a Seekins HIT PRO. Got a 6.5 Creedmoor along w/ 223 & 308 barrels. This is going to be my first 6.5 and I like shooting my 223 & 308 so figured might as well get the barrels. Not too happy that the 223 is only a 18" barrel, but still should be good as a trainer out to 600 yards...

    New Rifle: Seekins Havak HIT

    You getting those velocities w/ the Seekins 18" barrel? I'm getting 2850 FPS w/ 75 grain bullets out of a 22" barrel in my AR15. BTW I'm burning 24.0 grains of varget on that load.

    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    So staying withing mag length may be an issue w/ the 260? I'm talking 147 gr. bullets. Sounds as if going any heavier (which is the current trend?) will cause issues w/ the 260. Correct? Also, seems as either are fairly easy to reload for. Does one have an edge in being easier to get...

    308 - 1 in 10 vs. 1 in 11.25

    Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle & noticed that their 308 has a 1 in 11.25 twist. My 700 AAC has a 1 in 10 twist which I really like. I generally shoot 178 gr. bullets & go out to 1000 yards. Will the 1 in 11.25 be fast enough?

    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle in either 260 or 6.5 Creedmore. Would be shooting PRS out to 1000 yards. Which cartridge is easier to develop accurate loads for? Leaning towards the 260 because I have a lot of 308 brass. Yes, I would buy brass for either, but if things ever get crazy...

    Seekins HIT vs. Masterpiece Arms BA PMR

    How does the accuracy stack up and how would you think that the HIT would do in PRS competition?

    Seekins HIT vs. Masterpiece Arms BA PMR

    Don't much about the Seekins, but can get a really good deal on one in 260 Rem. How does it stack up to a Masterpiece Arms rifle?
