    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Loaded 70 rounds of 6.5 CM using the new A419 M-series sizing die.

    Auto Trickler V3 problem

    I've heard the vibration before, but never really had an issue. I just assumed it was normal for a stepper motor.

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    Perfect! Thank you!!

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    Thanks! What is your cartridge over all length and what brass are you using? I'm tentatively planning on loading the ATIPs long and single feeding. I have ADG brass and just got ahold of some CCI 200 primers. Definitely planning on starting with lower charges and working my way up.

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    Thanks Frank! I'm stocked up on 230gr ATIPs and just received 8lbs of H1000. Care to share the load you're using?

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    For barrel length I guess it depends on how far you plan to shoot. Longer barrel = free fps = flatter trajectory = longer distance before going transonic.

    B&H Photo still has a pretty decent sale on the whole Kowa Genesis line.

    Fortmeier over-the-barrel Installation for Oryx

    Not sure why there'd be a problem shooting uphill? The legs lock very solidly when extended so there isn't much movement regardless of position. I've actually started using the Atlas 5H bipod on my precision rifles. It has similar features to the Fortmeier, but it locks solidly in place when you...

    Any Area419 M-Series Die users?

    I measured brass sized by both the SAC and A419 dies and it measured exactly the same just below the shoulder and also at the base. The only time I had a sticky bolt was when I sized the brass a bit too long (with the SAC die). That wasn't the fault of the die - I was trying to get exactly...

    Any Area419 M-Series Die users?

    Is the sticky bolt due to base to shoulder being too long? If so you could just get the A419 modular shellholder system that allows you to adjust shoulder bump - can adjust base to shoulder longer or shorter - mostly shorter. There are traditional and Zero press versions. ETA - I see you were...

    Any Area419 M-Series Die users?

    I do have the older (non-modular) SAC bushing 6.5 die. I'd say they require roughly the same amount of force to size. If you already have the SAC die, I'm not sure it you'd see any improvement with the A419 die. The only advantage I can think of at this point would be the ability to finely...

    Any Area419 M-Series Die users?

    I have one for 6.5 CM and have resized some fired test brass. I'll do a batch once I have enough fired brass to make it worthwhile. The test brass I resized was not annealed, but still resized easily and finished case mouth size was right on at .002" under caliber size. Concentricity of the neck...

    Chopping a die down?

    Or you could get the Area419 Shellholder set that works for almost all calibers. More $$$, but will work with most all calibers. AREA 419 Shellholders

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Was a bolt diameter ever mentioned? I'm trying to find a bore guide, but it would help knowing the bolt diameter.

    Primer seater

    The CPS also has an extended handle option which makes seating that much easier.

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    Got lucky and my local gunsmith has a 30" 1:9 Bartlein barrel in some sort of F class profile just lying around. Diameter starts at 1.350" and tapers down to .930. I plan on using the suppressor I already have and if I don't like it I'll put a muzzle brake on it.

    Coup De Grâce Build

    I'm building a 2000 yard gun with the CDG action in .300 PRC. Not much budget limitation on this one except for maybe the suppressor, but since I already own it I'm using it. CDG long action Bartlein 30" 1:9 Custom Heavy barrel MDT ACC Premier Long Action Chassis in FDE Triggertech Diamond 2...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    I'll be building a 300 PRC rifle using the CDG. It looks like my only choices for mags are AICS, but everything I've read here says AW mags are best. How well will the CDG action feed from an AICS 300 PRC mag?
