Expander Mandrels
Does anyone use neck turning mandrels with normal fl dies with decap/expander removed? Im about to use Forster for a couple calibers for the first time, everything else has been Redding bushing dies. Question is should I be concerned with overworking the brass (since I assume it’s making a...- Darkhorse1

Is Varget a decent/good powder for this, or another powder better?? I have a lot of Varget that is sitting on the shelf.- Darkhorse1

Makes sense, definitely a decent distance to get to the feed ramp with Wally World ammo. Guess I’ll buy some more dies lol. Any recommendations on dies? I typically use Redding bushing dies but honestly haven’t done a search yet for Valkyrie and not sure what’s available yet.- Darkhorse1

224 Valkyrie Bolt Action
Update on MDT 6br, finally got my barrel and put everything back together. I took some videos but can’t upload them here due to the wrong format. Out of (4) 10 round attempts, I only had one malfunction where the round nose dived completely into the magazine. All others fed smoothly...- Darkhorse1

I don’t think anyone knows yet since it’s experimental at this point. We’re trying to use a mag for a different cartridge that we think/should be close to what would work for this cartridge.- Darkhorse1

Could you post taking apart the mag and what you do as far as sanding goes? It’s hard for me currently to give mine a fair assessment not having my barrel and seeing how it functions in a real environment . Pushing the rounds out by hand is ok, but def would be better in an action since it’s...- Darkhorse1

Please report what you end up doing as it will probably correlate to the valkyrie cartridge too. I started playing with it and almost thinking the spring is too weak to keep pressure on the rounds. 5 rounds seem to be GTG but more seems to lose the force of the spring kinda like a high capacity...- Darkhorse1

Same, just gotta tinker with shit until someone makes an actual mag for the cartridge. Not much else we can do until then right?!- Darkhorse1

224 Valkyrie Bolt Action
I just picked up one of the MDT 6br. I haven’t tinkered with the feed lips (about .400) but the rounds nosedive pretty good. The follower seems pretty prone to tilting down in front. Do you think adjusting the feed lips in would help or any other suggestions?- Darkhorse1

Did you have to do anything to it as far as tweaking the feed lips etc or did it just work? Thanks for posting, that’s helpful.- Darkhorse1

PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action
Another recommendation might be for PVA to do what brownells does and let you select a local ffl at checkout. I ordered a couple of lowers from them, and it was super seamless. Just picked who was close to me, and the order was tied to the ffl. I didn’t have to gather any information etc...- Darkhorse1

I’m waiting on an x caliber barrel, but was curious what everyone is using for mags. I saw MDT came out with 6br mags do you think those would work well? I’ll be using an arc nucleus in an ai chassis. Appreciate any insights.- Darkhorse1

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
I put back in the 25# recoil spring (jokes on nomenclature) and going to work up 100 rounds with Federal 205m. Hopefully put this to bed in my action, and not get booted off the line. I guess I should hone up my ro skills just in case ?- Darkhorse1
