    Mags: Accurate vs Mcrees Precision?

    Looking to buy a couple spare mags for my Creedmoor. I've read thru all the posts on this site that I could find on AI, Accurate, and Alpha mags. Seems AI are what everything else is compared to. It seems that Accurate mags are preferred over Alpha. I found a manufacturer, McRees Precision, that...

    FL resizing bushing die, without the bushing?

    I have a bushing FL resizing die. I use a separate collet neck sizing/decapping die on my brass. My question is whether I should leave the bushing in the sizing die even though I use the collet die to size my necks. Does the bushing keep the brass positioned correctly in the die during use? ...

    Neck Tension - adjust it when?

    Been reading about the reloading process recently. I've come across some posts talking about neck sizing and the amount of tension the neck applies to the bullet. My question is what do you look for in the performance of your reloaded ammo that would indicate a need to make an adjustment to the...

    Forster or Whidden dies?

    Looking to buy some new dies to reload 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo. I've read a lot of good reviews for Forster and Whidden dies. I'd like to get the micrometer seater and the full length sizer. Anyone out there have experience with both brands? Forster doesn't produce the Creedmoor dies as of yet but...

    Brass growth slower than expected

    I've got a 6.5 Creedmoor rig that I've been trying to work up a load for. I'm new to reloading and I've been reloading and shooting a group of 20 cases. I've been trying to get the brass to the point that it won't chamber in my rifle so I can bump the shoulders back and set my full length die...

    139gr Scenar/6.5 CM/H4350...recipes?

    Anyone out there have a good recipe using 139gr Lapua Scenars over H4350 for the 6.5 Creedmoor? The reloading data I was able to find on these bullets did not include the 6.5CM. I've been running 140gr Hornady A-Max's over 41.5gr of H4350 set back .005" from the lands with pretty good results...

    COAL too long?

    Went thru the motions to determine how far to seat my bullets so they are just touching (at least as close as I can determine)the rifling in my barrel. Loaded a few dummy rounds to the dimensions I came up with to verify that the rounds would feed from the mag and that the bolt will close on...

    Resizing Bushings...Interchangeable?

    Are bushings used in neck sizing dies interchangable between the different manufacturers dies? Can a Hornady bushing be used in a Redding die and vice versa? Shabo

    Neck Sizing Die...Redding or Lee Collet?

    Newbie to reloading here. Put together a reloading bench and got what I thought was necessary to begin reloading 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo for a bolt gun. I bought a set of Hornady dies, guess I bought Hornady because they are the only source for factory loaded ammo. After reading the tacked...

    Max load question?

    I'm about to begin loading 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo for my rifle. I bought some factory Hornady ammo so I could shoot the new rifle and for a starting brass supply. Hornady lists the factory load data for this round on the box. It says they use 41.5 gr of H-4350 using it's 140 gr A-Max bullet. I...

    Tumbler media question

    Reloading virgin here. Got a question for you experts out there. First off I have read the tacked posts in this forum and have learned a lot from them. I read a post somewhere, maybe here, not sure, by someone who uses a reptile bedding material in his tumbler. I went to the local Pets Mart...
