    Switching from Hornady to Lapua brass 6.5CM

    Nice group. Interestingly, I think the ideal node for me (per last weekends range trip) is going to be at 41.1 as well; but with Hornady brass at the moment.

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    As mentioned above take a look at the PRS videos or pics, more folks shooting brakes than cans. I've never shot a PRS match but I have done the smaller local matches of the same shooting style. That said I love my can (TBAC 30p-1) and ALWAYS shoot with it. On a 308 I can see a brake...

    Switching from Hornady to Lapua brass 6.5CM

    I'm in the process of developing a load and started at .02 off the lands; with a ladder from 41-42.5 at .3 increments and didn't have much luck at all. I then shot some factory hornady ammo and they were half MOA. Only mention as I'm fairly certain I'd have crossed the factory load in my spread...

    Suppressors Larger groups with can installed?

    Thanks for the reply! You are likely correct as I only shot suppressed that day with a known load but had not cleaned the rifle since its last outing shooting that load. Should have shot a few without the can to verify but who wants to do that. Sorry to derail Burnout.

    Suppressors Larger groups with can installed?

    If I run my non-suppressed load through the suppressor I end up with flattened primers and ejector marks. I had to back it down a grain or so to not see pressure signs. Not sure if this is typical or if I was right on the edge of pressure signs pre can. TBAC 30p-1 on a Savage 308.

    6.5CM, Issues with 140 AMAX in 8 Twist Edit: Bad Lot of AMAX

    I don't like that I ever received the bad boxes - but for what its worth Hornady did their part in replacing them. They provided a shipping label so all I had to do was print it then drop the package in dropbox. A few days later (within a week) I had four new boxes on my doorstep.

    Speaking of waiting patiently; I'm a bit curious as to how these will hit the market. I know the time frame is September but will it be a trickling with a wait list or enough for all to have fun :)

    Correct. The reason given by the Steiner Rep earlier for the lower price was simply due to manufacturing in the USA.

    Not sure if this post is serious but with 180+ posts I'd think joking. In any event: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-site-information/236203-tactical-rifles-lawsuit-defense-fund-support-our-efforts.html
