    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I hate to toss Laupa brass but then I sure as hell don't want that to happen!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience it is much appreciated!!! Should a person stay away from the Lapua in this caliber?? What are you using for brass?? Thanks again!!

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Great info!!! Now with my Lapua brass that has the "Belted Magnum" on it, can I fire form it back out?? Like I said above, I think mine is from "Over sizing" my brass to much. What are your thoughts on that?? Should I shit can the brass?? Or will it fill back out when firing?? I have a "Pick"...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I don't really have anyway to post pictures of the brass but my load is 27grs of Varget with the 108ELDs and 29.5grs of Varget with the 87VMAXs. But I am also using a can so that may make a difference. I have it adjusted so it just locks back the bolt....

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    SWFShooter That pretty much looks like what I am getting on some cases but NOT all of them. Could I have ruined the brass when I undersized it trying to get it to chamber?? I don't believe it is a chamber issue since it is only doing it on some of my brass. What would you do?? Just toss the...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    What do you mean by your brass looking like a "Belted Magnum" appearance?? Is this right at the base of the case?? I have seen this on some of my cases but I thought it was because I had "Oversized" my case when I sized it down more than I should have. I had bought some "Once fired" Grendel...

    I think I found it, but when I tied to do it last night through the email message it put "My name" in place of my "User" name giving me a whole new account!!! When I tired to do it clicking on my name it sent my email code to an old email I no longer have. I hope I have it figured out now.

    Not sure how to get ahold of you. You sent me a message to change my password. So I logged out and clicked on forgot password and you sent me an email to change it but it came under my name instead of my user name. So I was logged in as a new member under my name. I would like to change my...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I just got in from the range. I test fired the rifle without the can and with the can. I found that I was over pressure with the can on it. I had to close it up about 5 clicks. When I shot it without the can on it the brass appeared pretty much normal. Every once in awhile I would get a faint...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I have always watched for pressure I have always watched for pressure signs by watching my primers. I have been reloading for longer than I care to remember but I am fairly new to the ARs. I had one jam up on me in Nam and I hated the damn things for years and would have nothing to do with...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Bingo!! you hit the nail on the head with sizing!! When I first started shooting the rifle I had made my brass from 6.5 Grendel brass. When doing load testing after around 50 or so rounds down the barrel I started getting 'Failure to fire" it would chamber but not go off. I chalked it up to the...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I have an adjustable gas block on it. I set it so it was throwing brass at 3:30. It was doing it with lever and CFE too. Are you saying I am still over gassed??? My load is 29.5 of Varget with an 87gr. Hornady says that is a safe load for pressure. Will cranking down the pressure on my can take...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I found the same damn thing!! I run a can on everything I shoot so of course I am using it during load development and that is exactly what I have found. I started off with both CFE and Leverevolution and found that my gun got really carbon fouled in less than 100rds. I had some decent loads...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Load tested at 300yds today with about 7 different groups that shot well at 100yds. I was very pleased again with how well the rifle is shooting. I had one load that had shot a .202" 3 shot group at 100yds with 87VMAXs. I shot two 5 shot groups with this load at 300yds. With one load I had 4...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Just a quick update. I finally put my 6ARC upper together on Thursday. I bought a Shaw barrel and was told they were not all that great. When I got the barrel on initial insp the barrel appeared to be well done. Nice finish on everything as far as the exterior went. I run a patch through the...

    It is an 18" for a gas gun. Give your barrel some time. They usually get faster after you have around 150 to 200rds through them. Keep me posted on your accuracy results if you would. Thanks!!!

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Thank you for your reply again!! I totally agree with everything you have said. We have found some real differences in the uppers too. We have actually run across a couple where the lapping tool would not even fit into the upper!! That is nice but would still like to be able to square the face...
