    6BRA Curtis Vector in MDT ACC?

    My problem isn’t bolt over, I never have that, my problem is the rounds slamming into the barrel face as the come up the feed ramp, or occasionally when one feeds from the left side of the mag the head of the case pops out of the mag too fast and the head gets trapped between the bolt and the...

    6BRA Curtis Vector in MDT ACC?

    No I haven’t reached out to KRG yet. I know that you can slide the fore end front to back slightly to adjust the fit/snugness for different sized mags etc. but I don’t think that would help. I almost wonder if the KRG just positions the mag at a slightly different angle or something. I don’t...

    6BRA Curtis Vector in MDT ACC?

    And yes, I have tried adjusting the mag spring so the rounds have more or less nose-up position.

    6BRA Curtis Vector in MDT ACC?

    Yeah I tried that. I have tried adjusting the mag catch, tried adjusting feed lips, tried holding the mag in certain positions by hand while cycling the bolt and just can’t get it to feed 100% reliably. It’s feeds ok most of the time, but I usually get at least 1 MIS-feed per mag. Swapped it to...

    6BRA Curtis Vector in MDT ACC?

    Anyone here running a Curtis Vector or Terminus Zeus in 6BR based cases in a MDT ACC with AW mags? I had my Curtis 6BRA in a KRG W3 and just couldn’t get it to feed right so I gave up and took it out of the KRG and put it in a Foundation Stock just to have it in something and of course it seems...

    What is an acceptable SD (in your opinion)? [My experiment results]

    It’s not really about how it’s stored, but I’ve heard that over long periods of time the case and bullet will become somewhat “welded” together just because of the pressure of the neck tension over a long period of time, therefore you have very inconsistent bullet release.

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    Not if you plan ahead! Buying a new barrel? Buy your components at the same time.

    What is an acceptable SD (in your opinion)? [My experiment results]

    I would like to see you test the difference between firing the old rounds as is vs some that you seat .005” deeper just to break the cold weld from them sitting. That would show how much effect on accuracy there is with ammo that has sat for a while.

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    So how do you do it? I already use a expander mandrel, but I was wondering what everyone else does for “lube” on that step? I don’t clean my Brass unless it’s really dirty so I haven’t been bothering with lubing inside the neck for expanding and the other night I noticed how much more drag there...

    Two words, separate accounts!

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    I hear that. Especially cause my so called “home range” only has one 100yard bay and it’s ALWAYS booked so when I want to test I either wait a week or two, or drive the extra 90 minutes to my other spot.

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    That’s a good distinction! I guess mean either one. and I guess I should clarify, I didn’t start the thread hoping to find a hack. I’m not looking for the “short cut“. Part of my frustration lately has been my Chargemaster constantly fluctuating so I agree that the ability to accurately measure...

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    The replies so far is exactly what made me think of starting this thread, cause I couldn’t think of the ONE thing. Usually you want to identify the problems and tackle them in order of importance, but you really can’t with loading. You can’t do one thing really well, and another not so well, or...

    What’s the hardest part of precision Loading

    Being somewhat new to precision reloading I was thinking about the never ending list of variables that go into creating good loads and it made me curious about what more experienced loaders thought was the hardest part of making good ammo so I figured I would start a little poll. So, what do...

    Velocity Testing Trouble

    Temps were in the low 70’s. Test 1 might have been high 60’s, like 69* IIRC

    Velocity Testing Trouble

    That makes more sense. I thought you were talking about just Test 3, not across all 3 tests. And yes, these were shot on different days with slightly different conditions. When I did test at 30.6 I wasn’t shooting for groups, I was shooting steel at distance, more just checking the speed and...

    Velocity Testing Trouble

    what do you mean my other 4 shots? Are you talking about the 4 shots below 30.6?

    Velocity Testing Trouble

    I’m using H4895 and Berger 105’s. I actually accidentally did another test with a different lot of powder which had higher speeds, but again, it didn’t have much of a flat spot except a little bit at 30.8 to 31.0. I think the 30.6 load would be good enough for what I need, I was just hoping to...

    Velocity Testing Trouble

    I’m starting out with 6BRA and have been trying to do velocity testing to find a load range with a decent velocity flat spot but I am not finding any. I have done it shooting singles of each charge wait, I have done it shooting 3 of each charge weight, and don’t see much of a flat spot. Most...
