    How to choose! 6.5cm Load Development

    I’m listening 👂 I tell I’m doing it wrong or not doing something you expect to see with no explanation…. I’ve already admitted I’m new to the reloading thing, what else do you want?? Constructive criticism is welcome! Just criticism is not!

    Well I get blasted for shooting too little and I get blasted for shooting too much🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ Yep I’m new to reloading and that’s why I’m here willing to take the punches to the face… 🤕🤛🏽

    Today’s test loads! 42.6 42.7 42.8 All shot round-robin style! First test! I installed the “sizing ball” on the die. Processed the brass exactly the same as before. Neck tension was the same 0.004”. Loaded 6 rounds at each grain weight! Results Note- circle is the outline of a penny...

    Yep I see that shift as well. Not experienced enough to know why. Maybe I’ll run another test set and use the expander ball installed. Oh and BTW Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else that sees this today.

    It seemed odd to not have the expander ball. I watched the video a few times and my take away was the same each time - remove the expander 🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s too easy to get caught up in all the “white noise”. ETA - after some more research it seems there are two schools of thought on the neck...

    Thanks for the response. I’ve measured a few times and I get 0.015” neck thickness every time. If I run a .288 bushing with no expander my case mouth is .260” consistently. Now here is the part I might have wrong! I don’t use an expander at all. Every case is once fired (so far) in this...

    They were shot one group! Didn’t think about shooting round-robin as to be quite honest, I can’t figure out how to add “shots” to a series on the LabRadar or if it’s even possible. So, I shot one group, changed targets and wrote down information and waited for the gun to cool at least a little...

    This is exactly why I I posted the minimal information in the first place…. Thank you for the reply. I am looking for opinions about what I posted from someone more qualified and intelligent than me. Thanks again….

    I’m working up a load mostly for Coyote hunting and then some LR fun as well. I shoot most weeks throughout the summer months out to 1200 but have been using my 300wm (elk hunt prepping). Not gonna try to convince anyone, especially on here, about my skill set, but I know how to shoot, and I...

    How to choose! 6.5cm Load Development

    I mostly have positive experiences here and watch many others get flamed by some members and it always turns a guy off from asking questions. Not everyone is an expert on here which is why they might think they can come and ask an expert. But with responses with no information that can be used...

    How to choose! 6.5cm Load Development

    Ummmm.... So, I went from 42.4gr to 43.4gr of RL16 in .2gr increments! I only posted the two best groups with the numbers (42.6 and 42.8 as seen on the pics of the targets). CBTOg is kind of irrelevant due to they were all the same during this part and as stated loaded as long as I can...
