    2013 thunder valley precision shoot dates

    I'm thinking about coming out Sunday, haven't decided yet. BTW, I'm in Mil; however, I did learn to translate to MOA last year.

    I'm guessing the 1st stage got you.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    This last weekend I ran the loads I did with my Satorius scale. Charge was weighed to 42.52 +/- .02 of H4350. After running the dope to get the velocity I got 2854 fps with the 140 Hybrids. This was with the CCI 200s. This weekend I am going to compare CCI 200s to Fed 210s - I doubt I see a...

    FL vs Neck Sizing...Truth or Myths?

    I usually work a new case each time until the bolt drops and then rework the previous cases. I usually have it in about 4 cases. You can do the same thing with a headspace gauge; however, if what you say is true, you'd need to run a different piece of brass in the die each time until you got...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Depends on the rifle twist. 8.5 or faster can shoot up to 142gr

    FL vs Neck Sizing...Truth or Myths?

    I had a bench rest guy tell me when he set the record for group and score, he full length resized every firing. He gave me his method for setting up the die and I have used it ever since with good results. Remove the firing pin assembly from your bolt and the ejector. If the bolt and receiver...

    F T/R Competition Shooting my first f-class with my AI

    FWIW, I shot F-T/R at Camp Perry last year. It has been my first and only F Class match so far. It's not the same as shooting a steel match with various targets, but it is trigger time. Also, I was paired with a handicapped shooter, so I did pit work alone for the most part. That said, I was...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I've heard of people Varget for 120 gr bullets. On another note, the dope on my 140 hybrids came out to 2854fps yesterday. It seems as though there may not be any velocity difference between CCI200 primers and Fed 210s. I plan to get some loaded up with both this week and test Friday or...

    RL-17 (Alliant) for 6.5 Creedmoor

    BTW there's 1 ejector swipe on the top row of the highest magnification pic of your brass, 2nd from the right. It's faint, but it's there.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Just to be clear - I am not knocking the Hornaday brass at all. Just making observations. BTW, I full length resize in a Redding bushing die every time. The die is set to bump the shoulder back ~.001 and I use the .288 bushing. I do not use an expander ball. Also, I trim the cases to...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Something else to be aware of loading 6.5 CM w/ Hornaday Brass: IMHO, it would be wise to have a pilot hole reamer and a primer pocket uniformer for this brass. Almost every piece of brass has burrs around the pilot hole, some more than others. Also, the primer pocket depths are inconsistent...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    I had a great time and I was impressed with how well the match was run. Even made it back to No. VA at a reasonable hour. Will definitely be coming back when I can.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I was talking to the Rifleworks guys yesterday. They said they worked up a load with 140 hybrids using 4831 and Fed 215 primers. I don't remember the specifics though.

    F T/R Competition Shooting my first f-class with my AI

    That's what I did last year at Camp Perry. I unscrewed the brake and left the threads exposed. My little 24" barrel, shooting 175s, was definitely outgunned. However, I did OK. It was fun and I learned a lot. I got a thread protector in case I decide to shoot any F-T/R this year.
