    6.5 Creedmoor

    I’ve had good luck with 123gr Scenars, 130gr VLDs, and 130gr AR Hybrids launched at 2900 - 2975 from my 24” Bartlein barrels. In those bullet weights, I prefer Varget, but did just recently work up an accurate load using R16 and 130gr AR Hybrids. Haven’t had the opportunity yet to verify...

    Tightest sizing 6.5cm dies?!

    My Forsters have consistently sized smaller at the base and shoulder for me than Reddings, with the exception of the small base Reddings. John

    6.5 creedmoor whitetail round

    From your write up, it sounds like you would be more confident in more of a controlled expansion bullet than one that fragments. I have had great luck with the 129gr Hornady SPs loaded to 2870 or so. Doesn’t grenade but does leave a silver dollar sized exit on whitetails. BC is nothing great...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Haven’t checked yet. I don’t chrono any more but rather give an educated guess and true the velocity on my farthest target (900 yards) using ballistic AE. John

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Trying to narrow down component inventory so worked up a load for my hunting rig with some of what I had left. Load data is on the pic. OAL is actually base to ogive but includes Sinclair comparator so subtract 1”. This is a ten shot group. John

    When "Government" Controls the Media

    My concern is not that the government has taken control of our media but rather that the media has willfully given the libtards control of them. John

    Rifle Scopes Scope for hunting, target and self defense

    I have been using the SWFA SS 1-6HD with excellent results. Love the reticle design on 1x, a great CQB reticle and on 6x a very usable medium to long range reticle. The illumination is done well adjustments are correct, repeatable and reliable and the glass is very good. I highly recommend...

    Can someone smarter than me with vaccines come on in and debunk my random theory

    I agree with you. This is all about money. Waaay too many accounts by physicians successfully treating the Kung flu with hydroxychloroquin and/or ivermectin for there to not be something there. Why would big pharma go with those cheap, available solutions when they could develop a vaccine and...

    123gr Scenar

    Worked up a load with Varget and 123gr Scenars. Velocity trues out at 2940. My current 140 load is the Hornady BTHP at 2685. I could push it harder but that is where the best groups are. With the 123gr Scenars my best load is at 2940. When compared to my 140gr BTHP load at 1000 yards with a full...

    Implications of correct shoulder bump (headspace) but longer than required Neck Lenght

    Typically the chamber length as measured from base of the cartridge to the case mouth, is a bit longer than the max SAAMI cartridge length. Sinclair makes a chamber length gage to allow you to find the true length of your chamber if you wish. Having case lengths significantly shorter than...

    Revenge of the Autotricklers!

    I have the Dandy auto Trickler I use with my Lyman M5 and it’s awesome. Too bad he’s not making the auto version anymore. Anybody remember the AMT autoscale? John
