    Did Lapua just discontinue 6.5 CM Small Primer Brass?

    What are these hybrid cases you speak of?

    Did Lapua just discontinue 6.5 CM Small Primer Brass?

    Lapua brass with small primers has 1.5mm( 0.060") flash holes instead of the standard 2.0mm (0.080") flash holes. That is what supposedly helps in keeping the primer pockets tighter. This may or may not be true. I typically run my low node which is 2668fps. It's been good to me out to 1,000...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Where should I go from here? I only had 100 bullets and I had lost my previous data. Barrel is a 24” 1-7.5” twist IBI OCW test Nosler 140 RDF, H4350, BR-4, Lapua brass. If you click on the target it will bring you to to photo bucket with better resolution.

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Like you I started with Lee dies and a Lee press and moved on however I think that the press and dies are capable of making some accurate ammo. I got into a discussion with someone on another forum who stated how much money his grandson spent to start loading 6.5CM. He included the price of...

    Help me fix my HNT26

    Does yours have the forend with the built in ARCA rail?

    Looking for recommendations:

    I’ll be honest and tell you that I have very little faith in people giving realistic timelines. Whoever you do business with ask about expected parts availability and availability and realistic delivery of the finished product. If I can’t screw on my own barrel I’ll usually pass.

    Barrel fluting tool marks

    It's the hockey stick starting angle that throws me for a loop. I also wouldn't get flutes put in after the fact. 8 flute master race checking in.

    Two triggers down in new impact 737R action. Is it me? Are there more reliable triggers?

    I have a TriggerTech Diamond 2 stage trigger in my Ultimatum Deadline Gen2 action that is set at 14.7oz total pull weight. This trigger has seen 874 rounds through it plus at least 1,000 rounds of dry firing. I have seen 1 Trigger Tech go down during a competition but I don’t know the...

    Did Lapua just discontinue 6.5 CM Small Primer Brass?

    It's not obsolete since it is superior to large primer brass. Secondly if properly annealed 200 pieces will outlast the life of your barrel.

    Soft vs hard case question

    I bought a pelican hard case for my first precision rifle. That is the last hard case I will most likely ever buy. I have been using a Voodoo Tactical drag bag and shooters mat for over a decade now. I have a few of their soft cases also. This past summer I purchased an $89.00 Range Maxx...

    Soot from a candle will show marks faster than a sharpie or dychem. That's how Holland & Holland does it.

    I was unaware that Cadex had triggers out on the market. They are only 15 miles from me. I'll check them out.

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    Besides your Les Baer comment I agree with you 100%. I bought mine second hand so I can't tell you what the original owner did. Les Bear break in instructions are to not clean the pistol for the first 500 rounds.

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    The very first gun I ever bought was a Springfield Armory Stainless Loaded. The only thing I did to it was to install an S&A magwell and a 3lb trigger job. In the last 14 years I have put 10's of thousands of rounds down the pipe without a single hiccup. I have since bought a second hand Les...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    What distance are you shooting to need more speed? I was shooting 1000Y with my low node 2667fps with a 147 ELD-M. If you don't need the speed save your barrel and components.

    Borescope diagnosing

    If the rifle is accurate don't fuck with it. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel that shoots beautifully but the bore looks way darker than that.

    For those with a Forster Co-Ax step inside.

    Nearly 2 years ago I 3D printed a base and pin that will reduce the travel required to about 50% when sizing shorter brass. I used it today to size and load 100 pieces of 44 Magnum. I don't know why I never posted it before. It is not an original idea, someone makes a metal version and sells it...

    .308 Winchester

    Thanks, I saw that he received 155gr SMK's but I must have been half asleep because I failed to notice that it was 169gr SMK's and not 168gr SMK's. I wasn't even aware that 169gr SMK's existed.
