    6mm GT Barrel Life

    I think that is part of it. We do not run hard IE long fast strings. Our matches are long range varmint and we only do 2 five shot strings at 2 to 2.5 min ea string then guns cool. I think the PRS type shooting is harder on barrels. I will be running 115 DTACs on these next barrels with...

    6mm GT Barrel Life

    It depends on how hard you run it. I am at 2500 on one now running 109s at 2930 with RL15.5. Based on what I see in the barrel I think another 500ish and it will start to die. But a lot of folks are seeing 2500ish numbers before they start to any accuracy or performance issues.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    Not yet. Shot Show and shoulder surgery kinda put a damper on this project. This next iteration for testing is on the printer as I understand. It will take a few weeks to thoroughly test these. If I had to guess, probably a few months. But it depends on a few things. One big one is if we...

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    I have been working with MKM for a bit on upgrades for the V4. We are very close to a finished product. Latest tubes / overserts are coming for testing and we have a few beta testers. I think folks will like the new tubes / oversert we developed. Larger diameter and course threads with...

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    You don't have to disconnect wires. Mine are plenty long enough to dump without disconnecting.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    After pulling powder hopper and dumping powder from back, just lift the V4 and dump the tubes. I dump right into the hopper no spills.

    Ingenuity Powder System

    The shims are good to go, they have a replacement powder hopper with shims. The nozzles / small tube tips are still being tested and not released yet, but getting very close. The V4 upgrades make a huge difference in how it performs.

    Fouling past the case neck

    What velocities are you seeing? Are you shooting suppressed? I doubt it is annealing. More likely as stated previously: 3-Light charge on load. 4-Suppressors (much more of an issue with semi-auto and yours is a boltgun). These "somethings" can work together to leave some smokey cases. Your...

    Vihtavuori in a 6 gt

    No. I could not find 109s that did not cost an arm and a leg. I got a few k of 115s. If 109s ever come back at reasonable prices with some consistent stock I might go back to them.

    Do you ground your scales too? Along with what you mention above, I have found that grounding the scale also helps and is recommended by AnD.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I would give N555 a good look. Very cool burning powder, easy on barrels and temp stable. Of the VV powders, N150, N160 and N555 are going to be your best options.

    Feedback Request - Proposed Order of Operations

    steps 4 and 5 can be at same time. If you are trying to really reduce duplicate processes. I do a very similar process and size de-prime in same step.

    Which Charge Weight would you pick based on these results?

    You have a point. Some years back the Hornady manual had 40.8 or 41.2 as max for 140 and H4350. However, their match 140 ammo had a recommended reload of 41.5 of H4350 printed on the box, lol. I think they stopped printing load data on ammo as it did not jive with manual data. I have yet to...
