    6mm BRA

    I've got a 7.5 twist, works well. 105 Hybrids (but I haven't tested others much). Harrell's Precision sizer via OTM, and any Dasher seater you like (I've got a Forster).

    6.5 Grendel

    129 gr Nosler ABLR 26.4 gr 8208XBR 18" AA Lite barrel 2345 fps @ 65 F, 2319 fps @ 34 F Pic compared to 6 BRA with 105 Hybrid, and Labradar readings. The slow shot read out to 100 yds, which is consistent with a G7 BC way over the advertised 0.267 (would be over 0.30). I've taken five deer with...

    OK ... I'm stuck. (Literally)

    That's the correct move if neck tension is too low. What wasn't clear is that you also full length sized, some people try to only neck size that that eventually ends up with oversized case heads that don't fit the chamber.

    New Athlon Optics product announcements

    I believe all Athlon's are made in China except the Cronus, which is Japanese. I'm loving my ETR though.

    Rifle Scopes FYI - Athlon Ares ETR 1-10x28!

    Looks really interesting. I may upgrade from my PST Gen II 1-6. It's a 1-10x24, not x28, BTW.

    New Athlon Optics product announcements

    Nice, I've been waiting on an FFP version of the Razor LHT and the replacement for the LHTS/LRHS. I don't expect the glass is anywhere close to those two, but I'll be interested to hear what people think. Athlon's page is here: https://athlonoptics.com/product/helos-btr-gen2-2-12x42-dmr-scope/

    Caliber ideas for new ACC build

    Varget, 8208XBR, and H4985 all work well in my 6 BRA, and the latter two meter well for me. Some guys at Accurate Shooter have used H4350 in BRA and Dasher but you need a tall drop tube to stuff all that in to make it worthwhile.

    Gunsmithing 284 magazine fed repeater

    I'm planning on building a hunting 284 Tikka, but haven't yet. That said, I don't know why you would need to go with the 300 WM magazine, the 284 is shorter and only slightly wider than the 30-06. Here are cases for the 7mm RM, 30-06, and 284 Win with a 162 ELD-M (no barrel yet so seating depth...

    First time annealing brass

    Nothing looks wrong, but Tempilaq is really the best way to be sure. I use some 750 on inside neck and outside halfway down to the case head, making sure the former goes clear and the latter doesn't.

    7 STW Load Help

    I assume you've seen Nosler's load suggestions, right? It may be limited more by what powders you can find right now unless you already have them.

    It's an MTU profile Bartlein.

    N140

    I was surprised too. I only shot four of the N140 (Lab Radar only caught two), then I shot the Varget right after. But, here were the Varget velocities in order: 2879, 2889, 2894, 2901, 2906, 2909 Definitely speeding up, but I figured I was shooting too fast and heating up the barrel so I...

    N140

    I've got some I've been testing in 6 BRA. Shot a ladder at 69 F a couple weeks ago, and 31.6 gr got me 2933 +/- 5 fps with 105 hybrids. Today at 34 F the same load was 2915 fps, so 0.51 fps/deg F. For comparison, 31.5 gr Varget was 2920 fps at 69 F, and 2885 fps at 34 F, so 1.0 fps/deg F.
