    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    I'll do some more research tomorrow because its late now. I just did a couple checks with the caliper. So bullet diamerter is .243 for the 6mm Creed. I checked the mandrel and it reads .242. I also checked the inside diameter of the cases I ran the mandrel through and the half dozen I checked...

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    No. No loaded round. With the mandrel as with everything I reload. I have the same set up and use the same tools with 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 and .223 and have never had this issue before. I thought it might be the new Alpha brass but I have the same issue with Lapua numerous fired brass. The only...

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    I don't understand it either. .001 neck tension set with a mandrel is nothing!

    Tried that. Didn't work. Sending stem back to Wilson for mod. Yes. Case mouths chamfered.

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    I'm reloading some of these Hornady 105gn BTHP 6mm Creedmoor bullets in brand new Aphpa Brass. All brass was prepped. Using the L.E. Micrometer seating die with a K&M arbor press. Also using the L.E. Wilson expanding mandrel. Neck tension at .001. When seating these bullets I am getting an...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    My Bartlein 1-11.25 does better with the 168/175gn SMK and my handloads and that twist rate was recommended by Southern Precision Rifles who did the chambering.

    PVA Prefit Spring Group Buy 2025

    Just installed my PVA Osprey 6MM creedmoor barrel this week and took to the range today for the first time. Ran a box ot Hornady Black factory 6mm Creedmoor 105gn BTHP. It's a tack driver! I also took some of my reloads and they shot great with the 105gn Match Burners. The circle is a 1" dot...

    6mm Creedmoor OAL Confusion

    Well I got my new PVA 6mm Creed barrel installed and the max oal I can get with the Hornady 105GN BTHP is 2,770 from checking the chamber with the gauge. So the factory Hornady Black loaded at 2.695 makes perfect sense. Funny though. The 105gn Barnes Match Burners have a max oal of 2.855 in my...

    Dack is a scam. 6 weeks and I just cancelled an order that was in stock when I ordered it. They just sit and draw interest on your money for 30 days. If you do a Google search there are literally hundreds of people calling them a scam after ordering.

    Trigger tech tikka trigger info?

    This is an interesting post because I had no idea that a current Triggertech trigger will not fit on a Tikka. I just found this out when I ordered a new barrel from Southern Precision. And of course i bought a Triggertech Diamond trigger that I an't use.
