    22GT load data

    That seems... odd. I've used a *lot* of N150 in both 223 and 308, and it was always far cleaner than say, Varget. To the point I pretty much swore off the stuff. I realize this is a somewhat different application, and I don't doubt your observations... but again, it runs completely contrary to...

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    That was my thought as well... but I had plenty of Lapua Palma brass that still held a primer snugly... and plenty of etching on the bolt face to go with it. Not sure how the case head could expand enough to leak, and still hold the primer that well. And that was just from 'warm' FTR loads.

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Honest question(s) here... Yes, the hybrid cases can handle stupid amounts of pressure. Can your primers? Kinda surprised that you don't have issues with pierced primers, or leaky ones etching the bolt face? At what point does a steady diet of 'proof' loads start causing problems in the...

    armanov free-float rings

    This might be part of the problem. Those Hornady (and Lee, etc.) die rings were meant to be tightened with a wrench into the press. The die rings were intended to be tightened to the point of taking a fair bit of rotational force. Most 'floating' die rings are meant to be snugged down just...

    Aero Solus stock barrel change is absolute war

    I'm with Rob on this one... I've removed god-only-knows-how-many factory Savage (and before that, Remington) barrels using an old vise that looks very much like the Viper but without the fancy finish. You don't need more than that if you do it right. The 'bling' vises might make it easier, or...

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    Something that gets overlooked, but helps me a lot... is to keep notes. Detailed, agonizingly detailed, notes. For a long time, the only 'notes' I kept were in my head. As time went on, and more guns, more calibers, etc. got added to the mix... and as I tried this, that and something else...

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    Maybe you should find someone local to help walk through your processes and see where you're going astray.

    Sierra 6mm 107HPBT Matchking caution

    Maybe so. There's a reason Palma shooters refer to the 2155 vs the 2156 for Sierras 30 cal 155 Match Kings. They left the old reliable tug boat design in play when they brought out the new sleeker design (their first design with the closed nose, AFAIK), so everyone used the model # to...

    223 freebore for 88-95gr

    I am well aware of that. Pretty much any 223 chamber is going to have to be 'non standard' to accommodate that class of bullets. But OP was lumping the 223 Wylde in with the 223 Rem Ackley Improved. There's absolutely nothing about the Wylde chamber itself - throat aside - to make load data...

    223 freebore for 88-95gr

    What's wrong with data for the Wylde chamber?

    My New 6 GT just finished Break In

    I see a bag rider in the rear... fore-end plate up front? Is the target a custom design?

    My New 6 GT just finished Break In

    Use the Contact page. Get on the wait list. Or ask around and see if someone has a used one for sale. They go quickly. That's how I picked up - and sold - a Mini, and later picked up an old - but still good condition - Neo.

    My New 6 GT just finished Break In

    The SEB Mini (pictured) is 'cheaper' than the Neo or Neo Max... about what a friggin' Ckyepod costs 😳

    Sierra 6mm 107HPBT Matchking caution

    Uhhh... no. The S107MK has been around 15-20 years at least, long before *any* manufacturers were pointing bullets.

    Sierra 6mm 107HPBT Matchking caution

    Wait til you see his 308 loads 🙄 I'm normally in the camp of "you do you, it's your face next to the receiver", but his load data needs to come with a disclaimer or something!

    New Diamond Rough Trigger

    Has anyone tried these on an ARC CDG action yet?

    Sierra 6mm 107HPBT Matchking caution

    Sierra uses the added 'C' for their larger / bulk boxes - like 250 or 500 ct., rather than the standard 100 ct. The bullets are the same.

    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    Tried it again today... mounted up front, right at the end of the fore-end (ARC Xylo). 25 shots, all registered. ES/SD sucked a$$, but that's probably a separate issue 🙄😉

    6 Days After Celebrating '100% Renewable Power', Spain Blames "Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon" For Nation's Largest Blackout In History

    Yay, synchronous condenser... 🙄 They dug up tech from 60+ years ago and rebranded it. State of the art my a$$... How do I know? The hydro dam I'm sitting in the control room of right now was designed to use some of the units as synchronous condensers. We retired that $hit decades ago.
