    284 Winchester, should I switch to this round?

    Re: 284 Winchester, should I switch to this round? I get 2830fps out of a 25" barrel with Reloader 17 and the 180's, might be able to push it to 2850 but its not really worth it since that extra 20fps seems to work the brass a lot harder.

    6.5 or 6.8?

    Re: 6.5 or 6.8? Lets not forget that the 6.8 was designed around the 14.5-16" barrels commonly in use by the military and civilian markets, out of 16" barrels the 6.8 outperforms all the others in its class with more energy and a velocity advantage over the 6.5 that helps its lower BC rounds...

    6.5 or 6.8?

    Re: 6.5 or 6.8? The 6.8 is a great hunting cartridge out to around 400 yards, maybe even 500 if you are a real good shot, but the 6.5 does have the advantage of of higher BC bullets. Out of the same barrel length, though, both perform very similarly and can shoot targets out to 1000 yards...

    Reloader 17 question

    Re: Reloader 17 question It's not too temperature sensitive in my experience. I had a chance to do some shooting with some loads that I developed in 102 degree weather, the temperature was 60 degrees last I went shooting and my velocity dropped by 15fps, not too much to be worried about, and...

    Reloader 17 284 win 162 bthp load tests

    Re: Reloader 17 284 win 162 bthp load tests Sounds good, whats the length on the BTHP? I know the AMAX is pretty long too, maybe some of my measurements were wrong, I should try to load em longer and see how far I can load em. The 180gr. Hybrids are really long, even at 3.2" I can still load...

    Nervous "Pics Added"

    Re: Nervous Probably was just flawed brass, inspect the rest of the brass to ensure there isn't any cracks or seams in the rest of them. I have had a piece of winchester brass split just like in your picture, and it was due to a crack on the shoulder that made it through my inspection by...

    Reloader 17 284 win 162 bthp load tests

    Re: Reloader 17 284 win 162 bthp load tests Good stuff, I have some 162gr. amax with reloader 17, I just need to go test em in my 284. I have a 25.25" barrel, and wanted about 3000fps, looks good from your data. What was your OAL? I have mine loaded to 3.13" OAL and its as long as I can load...

    New Remington Platform?

    Re: New Remington Platform? I think its a good step, especially if it is indeed in a 700 footprint, and accepts Savage barrels. I'm pretty big on Savage rifles, but if Remington did this on the 783, I'd definitely buy one, now just to wait for a lefty version...

    Ultrasonic cleaner

    Re: Ultrasonic cleaner Hey, SVT, can I get your combo? My solution right now cleans the brass inside and out like its no ones business, but it doesn't quite polish the brass like I would like it to.

    Your Preferred Primers?

    Re: Your Preferred Primers? I used to use CCI LRM primers for all my rifle rounds and it worked well, but I have since moved to Winchester and could not be happier, Winchester primers have been a bit more consistent and it gave a small boost to velocity, which I wasn't expecting.

    Where to get non standard caliber Savage barrel

    Re: Where to get non standard caliber Savage barrel Kevin Rayhill from Stockade stocks can chamber you a barrel in 6mmCM, I was actually talking to him the other day and he said he just delivered a 6mmCM, so I know he does them. His barrels can be a bit expensive, though, since he uses...

    This My Friends Is Why The USA Is F#cked:

    Re: This My Friends Is Why The USA Is F#cked: It's unfortunate how spoiled my generation has become, this Christmas I got two $20 gift cards and some socks and I loved it. These people were never taught about the true meaning of Christmas, it definitely ain't about the presents.

    Considering a 6.8 instead of a 5.56 AR

    Re: Considering a 6.8 instead of a 5.56 AR The 6.8 isn't just limited to 300 yards, and as a target shooting round, it has around the same range as the 6.5, heres a few numbers: 6.5grendel 16" barrel factory 123gr. Amax 2350fps according to Hornady 600 yards: 1558fps 19.6 MOA drop 1000...
