    6.5x47 Lapua

    match targets from last Sunday, 2x10 shots. mild wind, but heavy mirage. 140 eldm, 39.5gr N550, cci 450, 2830 fps, 28" mmr Sabatti barrel. those 2 9s are my fault - impatient, not waiting for a clear view for a shot. second target (smaller group) is better.

    Optimum barrel time: great theory or bunk?

    In past few years I've done more than 20 different calibers and loads using OBT as a starting point and it got me to the desired result much faster than I used to achieve it before using it.

    Annealing

    My $0.02. In terms of speed, flame vs. other methods are not that different (most of the cases done with flame are below 8 seconds). Induction may do it in 3 or 4, but take out the case, put in another one......so unless you do 10k of them at the time, in terms of time saving I dont see much of...

    Before I ruin this nice brass how are the cool kids resizing?

    never had doughnut problem with my neck sizing/shoulder bumping + mandrel (and some of the brass is on its 17th firing). even when I was using cheap prc scale and hand throwing my sd and mv were right where they should be. and I stumbled on obt and used it many times now with ql to get to the...

    Before I ruin this nice brass how are the cool kids resizing?

    Interesting. I tried 95gn ELDX for my XPR hunting rig, those are supposedly too heavy for 1-10, and could never get a great group. Its usable for hunting, but nothing past 200 meters, and per calculator at any speed they are marginally stable. On the other hand, I dont have the fancy dies (plain...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    500 meters (547 yards) Nationals mid June, 20 shots. Prep and match are 25 mins (7 test shots on different target and 20 for match). Previous day was raining a lot, and on match day it was cloudy. Just before my squad was to start the match, sky cleared and sun started to shine. You cant imagine...

    First time annealing, have questions.

    at least use tempilaq for proper and repeatable results (older method can give you a close ballpark, but tempilaq is much better way to be certain) and if possible a regulated tank. or you can go and spend over 1.5k for the best there is (hands down). be sure that the case is spinning all the...
