    8.6 Blk reloading info

    I haven't had an issue, but it would be worth checking the neck diameter of a loaded round and comparing it to a chamber drawing.

    Shot about 50 rounds at the range this evening to zero my thermal. Not bad for 100 yards

    LMT .308 MWS

    Seems to go bang (albeit quietly) like any other gun we build. Shoots and cycles well. Seems to destroy brass though, so I have a bit of tweaking to do.

    Some more information on the volume differences between a resized 6.5 Creedmoor case and a 308 case. I had a friend do some analysis in Quickload after measuring the case volumes. 6.5 Creedmoor Case - Max capacity is 46.60 grains 308 Case - Max capacity 43.30 grains Results from...

    I've been busy dialing in brass processing on my RL1100 Aside from that, my large bore can came in today, so I got the rail chopped to fit the shorter barrel. Got the rifle test fired at the shop, so now I have to drag it out to the range to shoot some groups.

    I’ve converted mostly Hornady brass so far. The biggest impacts to how well it resized is the quality of the brass itself, wall thickness, and how well you anneal it prior to forming it from what I’ve seen.

    I’m looking into that over the next few days. I’m told from a source at Q its not correct and by the time you change the case taper, the volume is way off. What I was planning to do would be to size and trim a handful of different cases in 7.62 lake city, 308 win, 6 and 6.5 Creedmore, and 338...

    A few Faxon barrels arrived today. I got one converted to work in my Lewis Machine and Tool MWS upper. Just have to wait for my Dead Air Primal to come in next week as a place holder for the Thunderbeast 338 can that's coming in a few weeks.

    Prototype trim die seems to be working great. Did a few test cases on my Rockchucker. Need to get my RL1100 setup to start processing brass.
