    building new rifle- advantage of 6.5 creed over my .308 rnd

    one way of addressing this question is to first identify what projectile you prefer or need and then you can evaluate your choices using ballistic calculators to see how they behave based on your need, barrel length, conditions etc. in general heavier weight, higher BC projectiles are thought...

    building new rifle- advantage of 6.5 creed over my .308 rnd

    here's a nice comparison of the .308 to the 6.5 Creedmoor https://www.fieldandstream.com/65-creedmoor-vs-308-winchester/ i have both calibers and for my purposes of target and long range training i find the 6.5 Creedmoor to be a much more enjoyable round to work with......perhaps it has a lot...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Sometimes in addition to the awesome information that has been presented above and in recent threads some videos can also help especially if you're a visual learner. I've attached two videos that discuss neck tension....they differ in some aspects but there's a lot of good information.

    Just starting out reloading I think!

    If i reflect on my journey to date and weed out the mistakes i would be left with the following: This was a nice starting book: https://www.amazon.com/Top-Grade-guide-creating-quality-ammunition/dp/1684192234/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=reloading+book&qid=1598212090&sr=8-13 I opted for the...

    Ruger 10/22 accuracy

    i have a mid 1970's, mostly off the shelf 10-22 with an inexpensive Bushnell rifle scope. The original scope died a couple of years ago and Bushnell replaced it with this model, nothing fancy but it works. I recall tuning the stock trigger a little bit many years ago, not sure if i used...

    Full Length Sizing. Tell Me They're Wrong.

    i was just having some fun.....i'm very grateful for all of the help and information. right now this combination of a honed FL sizing without an expander ball followed by a Porter expander die/mandril set seems to be working pretty well for me. I did just get a call from Benchmark, my new...

    Full Length Sizing. Tell Me They're Wrong.

    i like you guys, gals and all etc. but sometimes not so much.....first i purchased a fl sizing die...then i got it custom honed...then i got a neck sizing die because well you know....then i got an expander/mandrel die (because it's more better (i'm learning the lingo)).....now without ever...

    Resizing 6.5 cm brass

    this forum had a thread about this matter a few years back, there might be more recent information out there but perhaps this might be a start? https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/resizing-lapua-6-5-creedmoor-brass-to-6mm-creedmoor.6257928/ my gut feeling is that nowadays there are so...

    ELR - Not for everyone I guess

    Allow me to preface that i'm still struggling to shoot well and accommodate wind and ballistics at the 300-900 yard ranges. That said, what would one advocate as requisites to establish an appropriate ELR record challenge?

    Precision Reloading for Extreme Accuracy (Bullet Seating)

    i can only relate from personal practical / anecdotal experience that ever since i added an expander mandril (Porter) and removed the expander ball from my full length sizing die i've noted an improvement evident in my targets. either that or perhaps i'm getting a little better executing the...

    Does barrel thread pitch matter ?

    without confusing the issue ....are screw in barrels best integrated into the receiver by virtue of a screw in mechanism as opposed to one in which the barrel extension slides into the receiver and is clamped in place like the Sig SSG3000? or rather what is the best way (accuracy and...
