    8.6 Blk reloading info

    I've been busy dialing in brass processing on my RL1100 Aside from that, my large bore can came in today, so I got the rail chopped to fit the shorter barrel. Got the rifle test fired at the shop, so now I have to drag it out to the range to shoot some groups.

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    I’ve converted mostly Hornady brass so far. The biggest impacts to how well it resized is the quality of the brass itself, wall thickness, and how well you anneal it prior to forming it from what I’ve seen.

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    I’m looking into that over the next few days. I’m told from a source at Q its not correct and by the time you change the case taper, the volume is way off. What I was planning to do would be to size and trim a handful of different cases in 7.62 lake city, 308 win, 6 and 6.5 Creedmore, and 338...

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    A few Faxon barrels arrived today. I got one converted to work in my Lewis Machine and Tool MWS upper. Just have to wait for my Dead Air Primal to come in next week as a place holder for the Thunderbeast 338 can that's coming in a few weeks.

    Prototype trim die seems to be working great. Did a few test cases on my Rockchucker. Need to get my RL1100 setup to start processing brass.

    I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading. Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/ Cartridge Print -...

    LMT .308 MWS

    My two cents on the recoil situation. 308 simply recoils more than 6.5. All other things the same, if you swap a 308 barrel for 6.5, there’s noticeably less recoil. Your options to reduce recoil are a muzzle brake, adjust gas block / BRT tube, or buffer weights and springs. I put an...

    Accessories Magpul Pro 700L Fixed Stock – Long Action Black

    I have a Pro 700L stock that was left over from a project. The stock is virtually new (never even made it to the range), but did have a slight modification to the trigger area to accommodate the trigger mounting system on a Kelbly action. The modification will not affect mounting a normal...

    Can you replace the gas block on an LMT 6.5 CM barrel?

    Yes, this is possible to swap a fixed LMT factory gas block for an adjustable. Here's one I did on an MRP barrel. The reasoning is because the barrel itself is overgassed, that coupled with the AEM5, it's obnoxious. This particular one is a newer SLR one that uses straight tubes and has...
