    New Hornady 109gr 6mm ELD-M

    I saw a post on Facebook by George saying that they will be selling more online in normal quantity lots after they get pre-orders done. Not sure if that means they will be selling them long term or not, but if they are popular it seems likely.

    New Hornady 109gr 6mm ELD-M

    I loaded a handful of the 109 ELDs with the same load as my load for the 110 ATIPs and made a quick trip to the range. I shot a couple of groups with each, and based on that, I would say that there was no observable difference in how they shot at 100 yards. Speeds and results were close enough...

    New Hornady 109gr 6mm ELD-M

    Got mine. Some quick measurements on a dozen picked out of the box show excellant consistency. BTO ES is .001, OAL ES also .001, weights was a little more variable but ES was still only .24gn (108.90-109.14, and the 108.90 looked like an outlier). The BTO looks to be about .01 longer than the...

    I would like ideas for recovering a .22LR fired slug undamaged.

    Shoot into a pool, (obviously lots of caution factors)

    11mm Dovetail scope rings

    You can also use a low profile 11m to picatinny adapter and use standard pic rings.

    Primer pickup tube question

    You could set it off by striking it hard, or by a static spark. Neither is likely, with static maybe being more of a risk if the conditions are wrong. I push mine in with the plastic indicator rod that rides on top of the primers when they are loaded into the feeder (on a Dillon 550)

    Excessive bullet seating force despite using mandrel expander

    Are you lubing the necks? Wet tumbling gets the brass very clean, you need lube.

    6GT or 6Cm

    So what do you think is the optimum powder for 6CM? I’m pretty rue H4350 is the most commonly used, although I have had decent results with H1000 in a 28” barrel (not so much in shorter barrels). I know others that use H4831SC and RL16, although I don’t think RL16 is any easier on the barrel...

    Brass recycling?

    I think most ranges sell used brass to recyclers. When I have brass that is no longer usable, I just take it to the local range and they are happy to take it.

    6GT or 6Cm

    For one or two comps a year and shooting out to a mile, I would say 6CM. You gain ~100fps which is very helpful at longer distances. The trade off is barrel life, but if you are only doing a couple comps a year, it seems like that would be less important. And if you want to, you can extend...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    The benefit is that someone else was responsible for figuring out and addressing issues that you might have in assembling and tuning it. How much of a benefit that is depends on who you get it from versus what your skills are and how much time and attention you are willing to devote to it. If...

    Rifle Scopes $2k 308 Bolt gun Optic?

    AT the $2k price point, I would say NF NX8 4-32. Not sure about the negative comment about the March, that's a good scope and if looking for a used one you might get to the $2k price target. And the kind of long range shooting you want to do will make a difference in what works best. If you...

    6.5PRC Caliber Conversion for Dillon 550C

    I’m pretty sure I’m using the one I had for 300 WM, but I’m not home right now so I can’t verify that.
