    Sartorius Entris 64-1S Drifting

    I use a Furman PST-8 but I can’t really say if it is better or worse than others, it’s the only one I have used. I originally got one for some electronic equipment, then got another one for reloading.

    Sartorius Entris 64-1S Drifting

    IIRC, the instructions recommend turning it on a couple hours before use to let it get to a stable temperature. But I also run a line conditioner. On a bad day, I see maybe .010 drift, usually it is .006 or less during a loading session.

    Shooters Global Pulse -> electronic level -shoot diagnostics tool

    Thanks. Looks like there may be even greater adjustability than the Send-it level.

    Shooters Global Pulse -> electronic level -shoot diagnostics tool

    Is the adjustability of the Pulse on sensitivity and cant comparable to the Send-it? That was my biggest question when I saw this, and I didn’t find anything in the product info that addressed this.

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I am using a mix of 110gn Atips and 109gn ELDs. The first 1k rounds or so were mostly Atips, more recently it’s about 50-50. I am using the ELDs for PRS style matches and the Atips for our club long range matches. Powder is H4350.

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I'm near the end of my first 400MODBB barrel in 6CM. With my last 2 (regular) barrels in 6 Creed, the barrels would slow down around 1000-1100 rounds. They would then continue to shoot well for another 500-600 rounds or so, and then either slow down more or start to throw fliers. So basically I...

    120 TTSX Load Dev for 6.5 CM?

    I run them in a 260 rem, close but not exactly the same as the 6.5 CM (a little more case capacity). I run them at 42.7gn of 4350, but the load for a 6.5 CM would likely be a little less because of the different case capacity. I have always had best results with the Barnes bullets around .050...

    *MDT Crush IT Stage Timer* Now Available

    Hmmm . . . Would neodymium magnets have an adverse effect on either the Send-It level or the Crush-It timer? That might be an easy way to piggy back the timer on the level. I _think_ that would be better than Velcro, although there would still be some risk to losing it in tight quarters.

    Hornady .264 (6.5) ELD - how far off the lands & grooves?

    I haven’t shot the 130s, and like others I have found the ELDs to be pretty forgiving, but I get the best results at .050-.060 jump to the lands.

    US test centers, experiences, post test, etc.

    It’s been a couple years since I sent my gun in, but at that time the default was that they would put your gun in a fixture that matched your action, but you could request that the testing be done with the gun in your stock and they would do that. I just sent in my barreled action, and the gun...

    Lapua Center X trending higher over time?

    I don’t have solid data, but I will say that I stopped shooting the lot of Center-X that I have when the temp drops below 60F because the speed drops off noticeably.

    50gr Curx what powders have you used?

    For Longshot, I tried 2.1gn to 2.5gn, and probably could have gone a little higher. I got the best groupings at 2.4 and 2.5, but the SDs were not good. Also, the flakes from Longshot are kind of annoying to trickle (although Longshot is my go to powder for the 32gn CuRX bullets). I haven’t...

    50gr Curx what powders have you used?

    CE used to have some load data posted on their website. It was pretty limited, but better than nothing and provided info on possible starting points.. So far, HS-6 has worked the best for me. I have also tried Longshot, AA-9 and VVN350. I think any of those might work but I got more...

    Powder Suggestion for 6.5cm. Not H4350/Stabll 6.5

    H4831SC should work, might be a tad slower than the H4350. RL16 will be faster, but I doubt it will beat H4350 in consistency. Honestly, my experience is that H4350 is about as good as it gets for consistency in that class, so maybe look to other parts of your process for improvements.

    Launching - MDT Training Shot Timer

    MDT did not make these. They did have some kind of partnership with the manufacturer, but ended it after a short period.

    Fired brass same size as unfired

    Measure the volume, i.e., weigh the amount of water fired/unfired will hold. I think you will find that the fired will hold more.
