    To crimp or not to crimp

    I had a 6.5 Grendel auto-loader I reloaded for and never crimped.

    Need opinion on a OCW load

    You need more shots per group and I would shoot them at 100 yds.

    New, what am I doing wrong already

    I would first call Whidden for help.

    6.5x47L alternate powders?

    I use IMR 8208XBR for 123 Lapuas and it will work with 130 Bergers too.

    OCW testing FAIL

    You must work up loads for different brass. I have blown primers out of brand new Nosler brass with loads developed with Winchester brass. Looking at the primers, if you're using CCI #34 primers keep in mind they are thicker skinned than normal and when you are flattening them, you do have pressure.

    Bullet seating issues

    Keep in mind when you seat the bullet so it's no longer jammed the pressure has been reduced. I would stick with the jammed but if you are jumping because jammed won't fit in a magazine, then you may want to continue increasing charge weight to find another sweet spot.

    How do my primers look? 6 loads tested

    Primers look fine.

    Removing Expander Ball

    +1^ I only use the expander ball with new brass, especially Lapua.

    OCW test advice needed

    The 42.2, 42.3, and 42.4 loads have very little vertical spread and a lateral shot dispersion can usually be pulled together with seating depth adjustment.

    UPS can kiss my a$$!

    I wouldn't use the USPS to send dog shit to my not so best friend! Fact: USPS is union and they don't give a shit! Fact: USPS won't go looking for anything that is lost or delivered to the wrong address. Fact: If the item is insured it takes forever to file a claim and get a refund from them...

    Trouble with Redding Competition Die

    If you are measuring from base to meplat, you will have variation. Seating depth should be measured with a comparator to insure consistency from round to round. If there is a variation at this point, it could be bullet ogive variation and I have experienced that. Here is a link to Redding FAQ...

    Extreme Newbie question: Where to get starting data

    Loss of MV due to humidity

    I had suspected it's possibly the chronograph, which is a CED Millenium 2 with IR screens. I replaced/charged batteries and got some more shots with the same result, 160 fps low. All the shot velocities were low, it's not a spread. I then took actual shots to 980 yds and used the Shooter app...

    Loss of MV due to humidity

    Altitude is definitely a factor "down range" but I'm not inclined to believe altitude accounts for a loss of 160 fps with the chronograph 10' from the muzzle. The top load was 37.4 grains of IMR 8208XBR under a 123 grain Lapua Scenar. QuickLoad predicted pressure spike was over 66,000 psi which...

    Loss of MV due to humidity

    I have thought about ordering some silicate gel packs and putting one in each powder container.
