    The Primer Shortage

    I'm trolling some of them on GB... :ROFLMAO: send a question to the seller asking if they have the credentials to ship properly and how the package will come marked. They don't want to answer that question....

    6mm BRA

    I will be interested in seeing your info. I have not had pressure signs or spikes with H4895 in my older lots. Some of the guys using newer lots on really hot days have had to back off a couple tenths to stay in their node. A guy I shoot with in NZ says the ADI equivalent (AR2206H) that he uses...

    Give me a lot # of 4350 you use for summer shooting. Are the loads compressed with a 105 bullet? Cheers

    6mm BRA

    I use a Newlon die made from a reamer that is full length, but only sizes the body and shoulder about a 1/10th. I have tight neck reamers used for both chambers @ .268, so brass is neck turned to give .0015 on each side of the neck with a loaded round. I use Alex Wheeler's method of finding the...

    That is why I was asking about the lot #'s . The newer lot #'s of Varget seem to be slower than the older ones.

    6mm BRA

    I don't think it is. I run 31.4 with a tweak on either side depending on temp and bullet. I have brass shooting that load with over 15 firings on them, and pockets are still good. I do think lot #'s on the two most common used powders make a difference. I have old Varget from 2013 that is a lot...

    Question for any of you that are getting 2950+ with a 105 whatever bullet, 26" barrel and using either Varget or H4895; how new is it, and would you share lot #'s with me? You can do so in a pm if you don't want to post it on here. Cheers

    6mm BRA

    As stated before, Ive pushed some barrels/brass really hard and learned lessons. Guys that don't turn necks and put a lot of time into prepping brass may not care about only getting 3-5 firings. I do care, and also how long a "hummer barrel" will shoot. Just retire a 6BRA barrel with the 125FB...

    6mm BRA

    My point in going where I went in this thread came from watching a couple newer individuals to competitive shooting ruin triggers and seize up actions at matches this past summer. Both pushed the envelope in testing and got caught on a hot humid day with loads that were too over-pressure for the...

    :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:....it's something I use for a quick check if I have the FX filled with a different powder, and don't want to unload it. I have a couple Culver powder measures that are pretty consistent once set for throwing charges for my .223. Just loaded 250 rounds of .284...

    6mm BRA

    I used to shoot a BRX for mid-range matches, and really pushed them hard for the first 300 pieces of brass (close to 3040). Yeah...no.Third firing and there are loose primer pockets on at least half of them. The amount of time that is put into neck turning and prepping means I better get more...

    One setup I'm running 125, the other is 104. 105 Hybrids with the 125 and 103 Vaportrails in the 104. I run the VT jammed .005 is the reason for the shorter FB.

    6mm BRA

    The only comment I will make in regards to the above, is the you have the fastest most slippery barrels that Bartlein has ever put out if you are getting those velocities with that powder charge. I've used 7 different barrels from all the big boys that make cut rifled barrels chambered in 6BRA...

    I check it against my FX120, and it's usually spot on with that, and I use an ASTM class 5 weight to check the FX.

    Couple questions on the barrel: What is the lands, 236 or 237? 5R or 4 groove, and what is the twist rate?
