    6.5x47 Brass Life

    Hi guys. I have a question for the seasoned 6.5x47 shooters out there. What sort of brass life are you getting and what powder loads are you running with this brass? Yesterday a friend and myself went out with our 6.5x47s for a little load development. We had a Super-Chrono with us which...

    Gunsmithing Lost accuracy - Opinions wanted

    Hi Guys. Recently my rifle has not been performing well. It used to shoot very well, and for a factory barrel I could not complain. However recently its shooting more like a cheaply made rifle with around 1.5 MOA at 100 yards. At first I did not really notice as I rarely shoot at 100 yards...

    So a mate and I were reloading today for his rifle. All the equipment is mine and I have donated him my RCBS die set that I replaced with a Forster die set. My die setup is different to his as his rifle cannot chamber my .308win cases without getting a jam... I bump my shoulders back only a...
