    6GT or 6Cm

    So what do you think is the optimum powder for 6CM? I’m pretty rue H4350 is the most commonly used, although I have had decent results with H1000 in a 28” barrel (not so much in shorter barrels). I know others that use H4831SC and RL16, although I don’t think RL16 is any easier on the barrel...

    Brass recycling?

    I think most ranges sell used brass to recyclers. When I have brass that is no longer usable, I just take it to the local range and they are happy to take it.

    6GT or 6Cm

    For one or two comps a year and shooting out to a mile, I would say 6CM. You gain ~100fps which is very helpful at longer distances. The trade off is barrel life, but if you are only doing a couple comps a year, it seems like that would be less important. And if you want to, you can extend...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    The benefit is that someone else was responsible for figuring out and addressing issues that you might have in assembling and tuning it. How much of a benefit that is depends on who you get it from versus what your skills are and how much time and attention you are willing to devote to it. If...

    Rifle Scopes $2k 308 Bolt gun Optic?

    AT the $2k price point, I would say NF NX8 4-32. Not sure about the negative comment about the March, that's a good scope and if looking for a used one you might get to the $2k price target. And the kind of long range shooting you want to do will make a difference in what works best. If you...

    6.5PRC Caliber Conversion for Dillon 550C

    I’m pretty sure I’m using the one I had for 300 WM, but I’m not home right now so I can’t verify that.

    Kyle Rittenhouse To Sue Whoopi Goldberg, Other 'Celebrities, Politicians And Athletes' For Calling Him A Murderer.

    A person drawn into a particular public controversy becomes a public figure through no purposeful action of his own, and I think he became an involuntary public figure by that standard on the night everything happened. His later media involvement probably made him a voluntary public figure...

    Kyle Rittenhouse To Sue Whoopi Goldberg, Other 'Celebrities, Politicians And Athletes' For Calling Him A Murderer.

    Like it or not, Rittenhouse is likely a "public figure" and the standard for a defamation claim for public figures is "actual malice", which is very difficult to prove.

    Cutting Edge Cur X .22

    I took a Redding bushing and set it up in a tool head so that I could “neck size” the .22 case. I only size the top of the case, roughly the same length as as the part of the bullet that gets seated. I used a drill press and some aluminum automotive plugs that had the same threads as the tool...

    Cutting Edge Cur X .22

    I used VV3n37 and Longshot with decent results. I got better velocities with Longshot. I think there are a bunch of powders that could work well, but it is really tedious to load those tiny little cases. CE did publish a listing showing initial results with quite a few powders. I never got...

    Peened Case Mouths

    I didn’t express any opinion about what way to do anything, I simply pointed out that what you said is factually incorrect. Stating something that is demonstrably not true is not justified because it is your “opinion.”

    Facts are important in forming an opinion.

    Peened Case Mouths

    I call BS on this. Tumbling a reasonable amount of brass for a reasonable time will not have any meaningful effect. At the worst, you will work-harden a micro thin layer at the surface of the metal. To work-harden a piece so that you gain measurable hardness, you would need to apply pressure...

    Virgin brass ES vs Anealed Reloaded Brass ES???

    I have not done a back-to-back comparison, but I usually do preliminary load development with the virgin and then re-run it for once fired, and I do log my results. It’s a pretty clear trend that once or twice fired has better SD/ES than virgin, for me anyway. In addition to the greater brass...

    Is Primer (and other components) Cost/Supply Keeping Folks from Competing?

    In prior years, our monthly club matches regularly maxed out at 56 people. We are now running a lot of matches with 25-30 people. Other club members now talk about rationing their supplys for only the matches that they most want to shoot. I have also been told that the range that we shoot at...

    Virgin brass ES vs Anealed Reloaded Brass ES???

    I generally get better SD/ES with brass that has been fired previously.

    Reloading Press

    You can do precision loading on a 550, but you have to work at it a little, the Coax will be better for that. But you can do large volume handgun/plinking ammo on the 550 a lot more easily than the coax. What will the bulk of your reloading be? If you want to do any volume reloading, the 550...
