    Not sure where you are located, but here's another guys who does amazing work! http://www.dittoekote.com I don't personally have a rifle done by him, but have seen a number of them at shows and competition - all were outstanding.

    What the hell is causing these marks on the neck?

    Interesting - but I agree with Lash. Try setting the case down on a bench or counter top to stabilize it and put something dark colored behind it.

    6.5 Creedmoor 147 Gr ELD-M. RL16, RL26, H4831SC, H4350 Test and Data

    This is a great thread regarding load work ups with powders, but much like Skookum said, I'm a bit nervous about your pressure levels. I looked at your photos and agree that I can't see any large pressure signs, but MAN, that's cooking them 6.5 PRC style! I had no idea you could push a Creed...

    6.5 Creedmoor 147 Gr ELD-M. RL16, RL26, H4831SC, H4350 Test and Data

    Thanks for this bit of information. I'm relatively new to the reloading game and what you've said here makes a lot of sense. Typically, I would have just looked for the tightest group and went with it. But tracking the least vertical string with best ES and SD absolutely makes sense to me...

    6.5 Creedmoor 147 Gr ELD-M. RL16, RL26, H4831SC, H4350 Test and Data

    Thanks fo doing such a detailed test! I have been wanting to test the RL16 and RL26 against H4350. If it's as temperature stable as H4350 and adds a few FPS - I may switch. H4350 is usually about $20-$30 more for an 8lb keg and a hell of a lot harder to find in stock.

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on an optic $1200 budget

    ^^THIS^^ - A lot of times folks forget about buying used gear because they assume that its been beat up - which is not usually the case. In fact, almost every scope maker that is producing a 1K or greater product is building a bomp-proof scope. And if not, they will always take it back for...

    Does rifling twist direction matter, and does it matter in ballistic calculators? How does rifling direction affect the calculators?

    In short, Yes, it does have an effect on it. Frank talked about this just today (maybe yesterday) on his podcast "the everyday sniper". If you haven't subscribe yet, I definitely recommend it. Additionally, there are a few videos on Youtube that talk through the advantages of left hand twist...

    Rifle Scopes Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27 vs ATACR 5-25 F1

    I've owned both and kept the Gen 2. Like the reticle better and zeroing was less painful (NF wasn't bad though).

    Gunsmithing AI or AW Mag for 6.5 PRC

    I’m getting ready to purchase a Bighorn TL3 for a Med weight hunting build. I plan to put the action in a Manners EH1 and use a Proof carbon barrel to minimize weight as much as possible. I’d like to stick with 140gr Bergers for most of my hunting work, but would like the option to swap...
