    Need loading info for 6.5 creedmoor

    Re: Need loading info for 6.5 creedmoor REL17 should work well with the 140 range bullets. I would save the REL15 and Varget for lighter bullets.

    Favorite case lube?

    Re: Favorite case lube? Iosso. Spray on, water soluble, when you are done just throw them back into your tumbler for a while- it is also a polisher. Doesn't smell as bad as one shot either. If you have a die that is stubborn just rub a dab of Imperial Wax around the shoulder of the case on...

    6XC ???

    Re: 6XC ??? "Any pressure signs at all at 39.5gr of R17?" Yes- sticky bolt and cratered primers anywhere above that. This is with un-coated 108 grain Bergers. I am using Norma brass and Wolf primers. Impact of the 39.5 was approx 2.7" above the 37.5 impact at 300 yards. After that I fired 2...

    6XC ???

    Re: 6XC ??? My XC also has a slow barrel similar to Whirlwinds. Mine is a 8" twist 26" Broughton. I can get 3000 fps with 107-108 grain bullets using 39 grains of H4350, however accuracy suffers. Tight bolt lift is encountered when going much higher. I do better at 2930 fps using 36 grains of...

    6XC ???

    Re: 6XC ??? Hi Chiller. I believe that I am getting 3030fps using REL-17 behind 108grain Berger boattails with my XC. According to JBM at our altitude (3000ft) this will pass below Mach 1 at 1450 yards. This load is easily half minute.

    Rifle Scopes Need some newbie help

    Re: Need some newbie help I would zero for 200 yd. When you are hunting I would hold on his back if you think the range is 300 yards, and if you are really aggressive, hold about 1.5 foot high if you think the range is 400 yards. I wouldn't even consider taking the shot beyond that. This is...

    Range Report POI shift driving me crazy

    Re: POI shift driving me crazy Thanks for the tips guys. I don't really think that these are the reasons but I am going to investigate what you have said. As I said before I am going to test this load against the last one that didn't have these issues at different temperatures and see what...

    Range Report POI shift driving me crazy

    Re: POI shift driving me crazy I had this barrel tightened down recently so I don't think that is the problem Steve. It is giving me good groups at all temperatures but perhaps that is what is making the POI shift around. I don't think that I had these problems with the other handload so I...

    Range Report POI shift driving me crazy

    Hi guys, I hope you can help. I have had a lot of POI shift problems lately, and it is really starting to p--- me off! My rifle is a 6mmARTurbo- almost identical ballistically to a 6mmBR- except chambered in an AR-15 type rifle. I was using the Berger 108grain boattail over 28.4 grains of...

    Positional Shooting

    Re: Positional Shooting OK - you got me there- but I don't believe that it would help anyway because you don't develop the isometric tension offhand that you would in sitting or prone.

    Positional Shooting

    Re: Positional Shooting OK- I am going to get some boos for this.... If you ever look at David Tubbs shooting off hand you will notice that he does NOT use a sling. That is because the sling doesn’t help with offhand shooting. If you look at his stance you will see the key features: His...
