    6gt

    If you're going there... I suspect the Lee (or other powder drop) + IP trickler solution will actually be quite a bit faster, FWIW.

    Depends on what "worth it" and "similar performance" mean to you. If you want quick and potentially "good enough" accuracy for most things, a powder measure and ball powder might do it? If you want single digit SDs and sub-30 fps ES... you might have to hand trickle to meet that requirement (I...

    6gt

    I read that as what he's saying is that he's trying/planning to bump .002, but it isn't clear what he should use as the reference dimension that equals his chamber (because his brass hasn't grown consistently on first firing, which is typical - it usually takes 2-3 firings before it all...

    Yeah, my PTG gauges are same

    He’s still within spec, though, technically - SAAMI allows .010 for chamber dimensions (1.3607-1.3707 at the datum). Shorter headspace is arguably a little better, but once his brass matches his chamber, he’s good to go. Probably goodness not running hotter stuff, though - Hornady factory stuff...

    Could be caused by your headspace, if it’s just an ejector mark, unaccompanied by heavy bolt lift. Cases growing .008 means your headspace is prolly something like .006-.007 over a go gauge, which is fine (cause you’re only going to bump .002-.003 back from that), but leaves enough room for the...

    Why modify the turret to be non locking

    I think a number of folks had that problem with the Gen 3 - so much so, that "return scope to Vortex to have it adjusted" became a first step folks did upon receiving them. I've felt them before/after that trip home, and it does make a difference in how easy it is to accidentally lock the...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    ELR is an actual game/sport/whatever - for centerfire, it's generally regarded as "longer than PRS distances", starting at something like 1500 yards and moving out from there. The reason you got the "6mm for ELR?" thing is that a 6mm of most flavors is going to struggle there - if anything...

    Why modify the turret to be non locking

    Because for some use cases, the risk of manually relocking it by accident becomes a thing (and with some scopes, it's easier than others to do that, too)

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    What do you mean by "better quality reloading equipment"? Same stuff is basically available for both cartridges? A different post stated that GT is as efficient as BR, but that's definitely not the case - it takes more powder in the GT to reach the same velocities. 6BR w/ Varget and a Berger...

    6GT or Dasher Brass from 22-250?

    Curious how the OP's project turned out... it brought to mind NorCal Vu's original thread on 6GT, and forming brass from 6.5x47: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/6gt-project-range-report.6943024/ - except that .22-250 sounds like it needs some extra love with a support die to push...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    I've got a 1/4" steel plate that sits on Sorbothane feet that does much the same thing, yeah - I can bump the bench pretty firmly and the scale doesn't register it at all

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    Like I said - I agree it shouldn't be required - it changes the nature of the bug description (and also means there's a workaround)

    School me on the Samson/review.

    The MDT bottom metal has a very nice adjustable mag catch, too, FWIW (same as the ACC Elite chassis's mag catch). Overall, I prefer the feel of stocks. Unfortunately, I have a fat face. The Samson was just too wide for my face, even with the cheekpiece pushed all the way to the side. I had a...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I agree in advance that it shouldn't be required - but have you tried connecting to your Kestrel via BT, and see if those menus change state?

    Ingenuity Powder System

    I'd expect that, yeah - $55 for the part... implies manufacturing cost of $20-25... I have no idea how to compare between a printed part and a machined aluminum part as far as cost estimating, etc, goes, but that feels cheaper than a machined part might be? There are folks on this forum that...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    We could guess at a number of reasons... - cost of manufacture - speed of manufacture - potential advantages of materials used vs metal - manufacturing in-house vs. outsourced - rapid iteration/improvement of parts Depending on material used, you won't notice a practical difference vs. a...

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    When I bought the Giraud, you couldn't get a Henderson (they were doing the "no backorders, better jump on our site right away when we drop them, and we're not gonna tell you when that's gonna happen" game), and the Giraud was a long wait, but you could at least order one and wait for it... so...

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    Having used the machine both ways, it's significantly less effort using the tool than using bare hands - and it's manipulating bigger/"friendlier" interfaces (the handle and "power grip" take much less fine motor control, etc).
