    Necking down 6.5x47L to 6

    So I necked down a couple of my new 6.5x47L cases using a Forster 6x47L FL die and got a donut at the base of the neck. Without having the rifle I'm loading for yet, I'm wondering if I should just stop and see if it chambers or do some more processing. I have a forster trimmer with outside...

    How many people turn necks?

    I would still think having a more uniform neck tension would still be a plus when the above is true. Plus from what I read sometimes when you neck down a caliber or so you can experience 'dognuts' which can be alleviated by turning. So neck turning still has it's uses in non-benchrest...

    neck turning

    From what I understand it is to achieve a more uniform neck tension, especially if you a forming to a different caliber. If deformities exist inside the neck I would imagine they would affect the internal ballistics...how long the neck holds onto the bullet and allows pressure to build? I have...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    Concerning the 11lbs ammo limit on airlines: Doing some math I see that my 6.5CM x 240 rounds is about 12 lbs, and that doesn't include pistol rounds. I'd assume they won't scale the ammo at the checkin counter BUT you never know what character you'll get. Maybe it would be best to ship the...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    Off Delta's website, however, I plan on calling for some clarifications: such as, if the pistol can be packed in the rifle case: Shooting Equipment Shooting equipment is allowed as checked baggage only. It must fit within the very specific criteria that we outline below. Declare to the Delta...

    OCW - Max Capacity and Fouling questions

    Thank you for the feedback. After shooting this test i'd have to agree, doing it from 200 yards was a bad choice. But, I feel I have to add an extra shot to the groups because 1.) fairly new to shooting 2.) its a new stock, trigger, scope. There is vertical spread at 43.6 and 44.2, book max...

    First Time OCW resulsts and Question

    I've only done a few ocw but here's my take: Because it could be luck at 43.3? Do another ocw in .1 grain increments in between groups that show large vertical spread....unfortunately you could probably use more data above 43.3 unless its getting to warm. In your case I would think about .1 gr...

    OCW - Max Capacity and Fouling questions

    Gave it a go today. Was going to do it at 100 but changed my mind last minute and backed up to 200, so naturally forgot to change my elevation...first three shots 3 clicks low are marked up 1 in. Couldn't get comfortable with the parallax, but gave it my best. Not really helpful data but may...

    OCW - Max Capacity and Fouling questions

    Two questions for those who are experienced with performing OCW test: I always wondered why so many shooters load so close to or above max, then I read the OBT Paper: "Any systematic effect that varies the chamber pressure or volume during the initial stages can dramatically change the...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Love my Ax chassis more than the aics I had... great weight, love the handguard and options for rail. Great on & around barricades. Check out rock solid stocks too. From your list I'd pick t5
