    *MDT Crush IT Stage Timer* Now Available

    Hmmm . . . Would neodymium magnets have an adverse effect on either the Send-It level or the Crush-It timer? That might be an easy way to piggy back the timer on the level. I _think_ that would be better than Velcro, although there would still be some risk to losing it in tight quarters.

    Hornady .264 (6.5) ELD - how far off the lands & grooves?

    I haven’t shot the 130s, and like others I have found the ELDs to be pretty forgiving, but I get the best results at .050-.060 jump to the lands.

    US test centers, experiences, post test, etc.

    It’s been a couple years since I sent my gun in, but at that time the default was that they would put your gun in a fixture that matched your action, but you could request that the testing be done with the gun in your stock and they would do that. I just sent in my barreled action, and the gun...

    Lapua Center X trending higher over time?

    I don’t have solid data, but I will say that I stopped shooting the lot of Center-X that I have when the temp drops below 60F because the speed drops off noticeably.

    50gr Curx what powders have you used?

    For Longshot, I tried 2.1gn to 2.5gn, and probably could have gone a little higher. I got the best groupings at 2.4 and 2.5, but the SDs were not good. Also, the flakes from Longshot are kind of annoying to trickle (although Longshot is my go to powder for the 32gn CuRX bullets). I haven’t...

    50gr Curx what powders have you used?

    CE used to have some load data posted on their website. It was pretty limited, but better than nothing and provided info on possible starting points.. So far, HS-6 has worked the best for me. I have also tried Longshot, AA-9 and VVN350. I think any of those might work but I got more...

    Powder Suggestion for 6.5cm. Not H4350/Stabll 6.5

    H4831SC should work, might be a tad slower than the H4350. RL16 will be faster, but I doubt it will beat H4350 in consistency. Honestly, my experience is that H4350 is about as good as it gets for consistency in that class, so maybe look to other parts of your process for improvements.

    Launching - MDT Training Shot Timer

    MDT did not make these. They did have some kind of partnership with the manufacturer, but ended it after a short period.

    Fired brass same size as unfired

    Measure the volume, i.e., weigh the amount of water fired/unfired will hold. I think you will find that the fired will hold more.

    Curx dies

    Mine is from when they first started shipping, but it is threaded and I use it in a press.

    Ramshot Enforcer with CuRx bullets

    I have what I consider a good load for the 32gn bullets in a standard barrel. I’ve played around with the 50gn bullets and have had o.k., results, but nothing good enough that I would consider it as being finished. This is in a 1:6 twist barrel using the reamer that Cutting Edge published...

    Ramshot Enforcer with CuRx bullets

    IRamshot Enforcer is generally in the right range, but I haven’t tried it. I got good results with Longshot with the 32gn, and HS-6 has been the best I have found for 50gn so far. I have also tried Unique, VVN3N7, VV350, AA9 and Lil Gun at various times. I kind of put my experimenting with...

    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    260 Rem and 6.5 Creed are pretty close in performance. 260 Rem has a bit more case capacity, so you can push a little harder. 6.5 Creed gives you a little more room to work with longer bullets, and is supposed to be slightly more efficient. You can get factory ammo is either, although 6.5...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I’ve had great results from. LRX bullets in 260 Rem and 300 WM. I haven’t tried PVA solids or the LRXs in 6mm.

    Loading 6.5 PRC to CM speeds

    My load is 57.2 of H1000, OAL is about 2.95 (I measure BTO, OAL varies a little). Also a 28” barrel, I guess mine is a bit faster than yours. If yours is a new barrel, it may speed up. IIRC, mine picked up about 100fps from 0 to 200 rounds.
