    Reloading questions for 6.5 Grendel

    Re: Reloading questions for 6.5 Grendel As noted, you do not have to use magnums, but the case does work better (group) with them. There are loads for 4895 and V, but with lighter bullets. The case capacity is a very limiting thing with the Grendel, and ball powders work better than stick...

    Turret Press questions

    Good set of Dies for 6.5 Grendel?

    User Tips for Giraud Trimmer

    Re: User Tips for Giraud Trimmer Yep, the lock ring mod works great, well worth the $4 the things cost. I have the meplat trimming head and holders as well, and it does a great job. I do this before pointing, and it is way easier than trimming by hand.

    6.5x47 with 140vld's

    Re: 6.5x47 with 140vld's With RE-17, I had no trouble getting 3025 with the 140 Berger VLD in my last 6.5x47 barrel, but I just could not get it to group. Berger or JLK 130 and 37.5 or so (do work up) of Varget should get you what you are looking for, and is what I have been running for...

    Rifle Scopes Which spotting scope for competition?

    Re: Which spotting scope for competition? I have a new Kowa 77mm and it's great. I did look through a buddies Zeiss 85mm scope, and it was really clear as well, and the eye relief was better than my Kowa, but the eye relief alone did not justify the 1k extra for me.
