    New Athlon Optics product announcements

    Nice, I've been waiting on an FFP version of the Razor LHT and the replacement for the LHTS/LRHS. I don't expect the glass is anywhere close to those two, but I'll be interested to hear what people think. Athlon's page is here: https://athlonoptics.com/product/helos-btr-gen2-2-12x42-dmr-scope/

    Caliber ideas for new ACC build

    Varget, 8208XBR, and H4985 all work well in my 6 BRA, and the latter two meter well for me. Some guys at Accurate Shooter have used H4350 in BRA and Dasher but you need a tall drop tube to stuff all that in to make it worthwhile.

    Gunsmithing 284 magazine fed repeater

    I'm planning on building a hunting 284 Tikka, but haven't yet. That said, I don't know why you would need to go with the 300 WM magazine, the 284 is shorter and only slightly wider than the 30-06. Here are cases for the 7mm RM, 30-06, and 284 Win with a 162 ELD-M (no barrel yet so seating depth...

    First time annealing brass

    Nothing looks wrong, but Tempilaq is really the best way to be sure. I use some 750 on inside neck and outside halfway down to the case head, making sure the former goes clear and the latter doesn't.

    7 STW Load Help

    I assume you've seen Nosler's load suggestions, right? It may be limited more by what powders you can find right now unless you already have them.

    N140

    It's an MTU profile Bartlein.

    N140

    I was surprised too. I only shot four of the N140 (Lab Radar only caught two), then I shot the Varget right after. But, here were the Varget velocities in order: 2879, 2889, 2894, 2901, 2906, 2909 Definitely speeding up, but I figured I was shooting too fast and heating up the barrel so I...

    N140

    I've got some I've been testing in 6 BRA. Shot a ladder at 69 F a couple weeks ago, and 31.6 gr got me 2933 +/- 5 fps with 105 hybrids. Today at 34 F the same load was 2915 fps, so 0.51 fps/deg F. For comparison, 31.5 gr Varget was 2920 fps at 69 F, and 2885 fps at 34 F, so 1.0 fps/deg F.

    Normal Headspace Expansion? - 300 WSM

    300 WSM doesn't have a belt, headspaces off the shoulder. 300 Win Mag does have a belt that it headspaces off of, but that still sounds like a ton. Have you checked your fired cases inside with a paperclip to see if there is case head separation starting?

    6bra or 6 dasher

    I've had good accuracy from my 6BRA fireform loads. Occasionally I do feel the resistance in closing the bolt, which isn't bad but might make me nervous in a match. That inconsistency itself is actually most concerning to me, and could be perhaps from my cheap Lee Turret press. I worry a little...

    Trimmer for .375 CT

    Do the 375 and 408 CT have the same shoulder? If so, the WFT Big Boy should work with this bushing: https://www.littlecrowgunworks.com/store1/408-Cheytac-p118340668

    Where to buy Tikka Action

    This may still be for sale. As someone who failed to remove a factory Tikka barrel, I'd say the bare action here is a bonus. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/tikka-t3x-ctr-action-and-xlr-element-folding-chassis-fs.7029230/#post-8864121

    6bra or 6 dasher

    See my reply above. The longer neck on BR and BRA gives a large window for seating depth to tune and chase lands while still having a good amount of the bearing surface in the neck.

    6bra or 6 dasher

    BRA. Fireforming is super simple and benchrest guys think it produces more consistent brass than Dasher fireforming. Longer neck gives more flexibility for seating depth. I'm getting a really accurate node at 2920 fps with 105's from 31.5 gr Varget in a 26". That can be slightly beat by Dasher...

    Official MDT 6BR Magazine Thread

    I've been using my MDT BR mags for 6 BRA with a Tikka and it's been great. The 12th round is tough to get in but it works.
