    6.5cm brass for those that don’t anneal...???

    Annealing is something that I would love to get into eventually but I haven't gotten around to it yet. That being said I'm on my 8th loading on my 260 Lapua brass and I haven't seen a split neck yet. My SD was also a massive 3.3 and ES was 8 the last time I checked with my magnetospeed.

    Most Accurate Bolt Gun for around $1000?

    You will be hard pressed to find anything better than a Tikka in that price range. I would buy a CTR and if you had a couple hundred extra bucks I would put it in a KRG Bravo chassie.

    ??? 147 ELDm in 20" 6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm running a 20 inch 260. And 44 grains even of H4350 is getting me great results. I would back off a couple grains in a creedmoor but maybe start around 40 and work up.

    Which bipod company was the copycat/issues one?

    Just have him buy an Atlas. Kasey, Brandi, and crew are top notch.

    .308 ELD, ELD-X, TMK loads

    I ask the same question a couple days ago and didn't get much of an answer. I'm going to start at 43 grains of Varget and work up to 45 with the 178 ELDX.

    Atlas Bipod issue-wish I had known!

    Kasey you have gone a hell of a lot further than I would have! Customer satisfaction is obviously at the top B&Ts list! I'll be honest there is no way in hell I would offer full value on something I didn't even sell directly! Hell it looks to me like he didn't even actually buy the thing. Props...

    No love for short barreled 308? Guess I may start with 43 grains of Varget or 4064.

    Anybody have any pet loads for a 16" AAC SD Remington? I have some 178ELDXs coming.

    Noob bipod help

    I would start with a Harris and see if shooting prone is something you will be doing often. Then later upgrade to an atlas after you stick that baby in a chassis.

    PRS Talk My Solution to Prize Table Bias

    Unfortunately I'm not a match shooter at this time in my life. Family and work really put a damper on my weekend free time. That being said this sounds like a good idea to me. This gives shooters more incentive to end up in the top three while allowing everybody else the ability to get in on a...

    6.5 PRC load data

    Did you build this gun on a short or long action? And what reamer did your Smith use? I'm thinking hard about building one.

    Budget Reloading- help please

    You might start a want to buy thread. I bet a couple hide members have several perfectly serviceable press's and lot of other tools laying around that they aren't using anymore.
