    How often do you clean

    Just as the title says every time or every x rounds? I've got 447 on my 6.5 barrel and a match next weekend gotta rezero to my load I've developed this weekend and figure my suppressor offset. Should I clean it then do all the zeroing and velocity gathering or wait til after the match?

    Suppressors If you could only own one suppressor ?

    I've got an optimus and it sounds great on 22 and 9mm, not bad on 300blk and okay on my 6.5 creedmoor if I never get another can (I will) I'd be set. If you're not shooting over 9mm diameter grab one. I've been bugging them about different things and I get an email back within an hour every time too

    I watched a video from Gavin yesterday and he was getting very consistent force with each different mandrel. But if you get a big spike I would say segregate it for a fouling shot

    Okay I'll probably just drop a grain an half and load one at each going up .2 check for pressures I know some people are running 43 in lapua cases so my load should be okay but we'll see. Gotta find them first

    This is 6.5. A full grain dang didn't think it would be that much difference. How far did you drop down initially?

    When changing brass would .5 grains be enough of a back down in charge weight?

    I can't go any longer than I am now. I've shot bthp, atip, accubond, gmx and the eldm these have been the best shooters so far. The accubond shoot well enough for animal so I'm not gonna mess with that load

    I've not used an arbor press so I can't weight but I'd like to see someone load up 3 sets of 5 rounds one on a regular hornady with the micrometer seater, one on something like a redding or whidden die that has the sleeve and one with the Wilson setup. Then see how they each shoot
