    What's the effect of using heavier brass?

    I actually filled up both primed cases with powder this evening. The Hornady holds 1.6 grains more powder than the Starline.

    What's the effect of using heavier brass?

    So I've got a new 6 mm creedmoor gasser that I developed a load for during the brass shortage. I ended up resizing some old Hornady 6.5 creedmoor brass down to 6mm. Using 100 grain Hornady interlock, the hornady manual gives me a starting 35.6 and a max charge of 43.9 with H4350. I usually...

    Night Vision suggestions for an inexpensive Thermal or night vision for a racoon killing rig

    I've got corn coming up in the field that the raccoons are going to destroy if I don't thin them out a bit. I've already got a Trijicon Thermal and Pulsar scanner for Coyote rig. Unfortunately, ammo is too expensive to shoot raccoons with a 308. I'm looking to set up a Ruger 10/22 rimfire as...

    Reloading Equipment OHIO.....swap thread

    I'm in between Cleveland and Akron. Have 8 pounds of Varget, Titegroup, H4350, Winchester WSF and some Unique. Looking to trade for H4895 or possibly some small pistol primers. Not really looking to sell but may. Hate to buy a keg of H4895 on gunbroker for over $500 but I might have to. Not...

    Anyone use Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Case Prep Center?

    I'm thinking about purchasing one of these or the comparable model. Currently doing my deburring and chamfering with a drill. Trimming my cases with an LE wilson trimmer with a drill also. Figure I'd use the case trimmer on this for high production rounds like 223 and 308 and the Wilson for the...

    Annie annealer users have any pointers for me? Have one on the way

    Just annealed 200 cases of 6.5 creedmoor with the Annie. Went through them really quick and am pretty happy with it. I got two coils with it, large and small. The small one is plugged up and water wouldn't flow through it. Must be some solder stuck in it when they built it so I was stuck...

    Shoot your groups at 100 or 200 yards for load development?

    This is probably been the best I've seen yet. Thanks! Definitely points me in the right direction.

    Load development for dummies guide

    Have a new 6.5 Creedmoor rifle that I've started load development for. After doing some research and making some posts, I've discovered I really don't know what I'm doing. The new rifle is a Tikka with a proof barrel I purchased from a member. I'm using H4350 and have shot the 142 SMK's...

    You have a link to this information? I'd like to research it.

    Shoot your groups at 100 or 200 yards for load development?

    Do you guys generally prefer to shoot your load development groups at 100 or 200 yards. I've been hand loading for a few years and have always done my load work at 200 yards. I always thought it was better to see what the load at 200 yards as 100 yards seems like a little close. From what I'm...

    What to do with my never annealed brass now that I have an annealer?

    I've got a couple of loads that got me in the single digits and a couple at under 20. Obviously I've got numbers higher than that but these are the loads I'm leaning towards. This is with a 5 shot group.

    What to do with my never annealed brass now that I have an annealer?

    So after reloading for a few years, I've decided to add annealing to my reloading steps. To keep things simple, I'm just going to anneal my brass every firing. I purchased an Annie and it's simple and fast enough. Figured if it can keep things more constant, get my SD's down and extend brass...

    Annie annealer users have any pointers for me? Have one on the way

    I think the glass tube ideal I seen on another forum is the best ideal yet. You get a solid glass rod smaller that bullet size and mount it to the surface. Glass rod needs to be cut to right size to allow upside down case to sit at the proper coil height. Put case on glass, annel, remove case...

    Annie annealer users have any pointers for me? Have one on the way

    Thank you. That's really good information. For what I've found poking around, most people anneal the Hornady 6.5 brass 1.6 to 1.8 seconds. I'm wondering if the water cooled coil gets a little hotter than the regular setup like you have. My other concern is setting up the coil to the case...

    To Anneal my brass or not?

    honestly, I thought the annaleez was a good option. I just hate the ideal of having to mess with gas and adjusting it everytime.

    Annie annealer users have any pointers for me? Have one on the way

    I just purchased an Annie from a member here that should be here in the next week. It has the water cooled coil. I'm going to start annealing my brass every firing to keep things consistent. Any pointers to help me with the learning curve? Probably going to start out with Hornady 6.5...

    To Anneal my brass or not?

    Well gentleman, I have an Annie coming from a member here. I decided to add it to my reloading equipment. Not sure if I should anneal all of my Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor tha I'm currently doing load development with. Don't really have an ideal how many firings it has. I'd venture to say 3 to 4...

    To Anneal my brass or not?

    So I consider myself a fairly new reloader. I've been reloading now about 5 years and have updated just about everything I started with. Go a pretty good setup now and consider myself a decent reloader. I've also developed and produced some pretty...

    To Anneal my brass or not?

    Your saying you can get 10 to 12 resizing/firings without annealing? Shit, if that's the case, I'm not sure it's worth my time. I shoot a lot but by that time the primer pockets have to be loose.
