    Finally got a 6mm Creedmoor

    I too shoot a 6 creedmoor. I'm not sure if I'll ever do another though. My 6 dasher has dam near the same velocity with 105 hybrids and the dasher uses 10 grains less powder. I reload for everything and I never buy new ammo. If I was to buy new ammo then I'd probably stick with the CM

    Gunsmithing Lathe RPM for threading?

    i use a kennametal partial profile insert and im threading at 440 to a shoulder and sometime 620 with a big relief groove like on a remington tenon. Carbide needs a little more speed as we all know. I never thread, or machine anything for that matter if im not operating at 100%. If im tired, i...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths thoughts on a Bartlein 5R

    A few years back Hart had a good run of 6mm 14tw 3 groove barrels. The guys that had them really tore up the competition in short range BR. 6 ppc with a custom hand made 66 or 68 grain bullet. At 3350 to 3500 FPS i never had a bullet fail. I dont have any other real experience other than that...

    Gunsmithing Preboring ?

    I have not been around very many CNC lathes. The ones i have been around, the smiths are simply using a high pressure flush and then using the reamer to cut the hole chamber. In short order i might add. In real life there isnt anything wrong with using the reamer to cut the entire chamber. Your...

    6mm pill for PRS

    fellas, why is no one talking about the new sierra 110gr 6mm bullets? they are killer. they claim a bc of over .600 thats crazy, My little dasher is shooting 2950 with this bullet and its great. I also have a 6mm creedmoor and mine shoots best at 44.5 grains of H4350. I know thats a hot load...

    MyBighorn isnt setting off CCI450's

    Thank you B P UU this is the info i was looking for. Well i guess i now have one dislike with my Bighorn. I do like the action and the features it has. I was however a little concerned about spring strength , even before i bought the action. The floating bolt head takes up a lot of room so...

    MyBighorn isnt setting off CCI450's

    I know with my benchrest rifles and shooters that I chamber barrels for that when you have weak pun strikes accuracy will suffer. With a tac type rifle shooting steel plates these issues are harder to see. This new Federer barrel I chambered up is shooting in the 1's 3 shot groups at 100...

    MyBighorn isnt setting off CCI450's

    My brass is 3 times fired with .001 shoulder bump. Lapua brass untouched primer pockets. The issues isn't poor technique.. I have good marks on the primers so this is why I'm a little baffled. Looks like plenty of pin fall. The action is brand new, and inspected before I chambered my...

    MyBighorn isnt setting off CCI450's

    I will of course make a phone call Tuesday morning but until then I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with weak firing pin strike with their TL3 actions? Out of the last 15 primers I have had 5 fail. Perhaps I have some old primers? I will say however a second wack has set a couple...
