The hornady 140grn bthp shoots the best for me in my bergara bmp and rpr both in 6.5cm. I've tried hornady eld match and berger hybrid and still the bthp works best. All rifles, shooters, and hand loads differ so in my opinion try different things till you find one your rifle and you like. Funny...

I know this post is several months old, but i have the bergara bmp. I love it. Still working on finding the best load, but so far hornady bthp 140 grn with varget powder is great. Even loads with different powders, the hornady 140 grn bthp still working better than the eld match, and berger hybrid.

I have a bmp in 6.5cm Still developing a good load. Vargit powder with hornady eld match are working best so far. A friend has good luck with his 308 using vargit powder and berger bullets.

I have been to a few long rang practices, and one match. I'm hooked.

Hello. Avid shooter since i was young, but still learning everyday. New to long range but i love it. Former marine (0351 dragon gunner). Just joined with a 6.5 creedmore reload problem. Everyone was great, and helped me work through issue. This forum is awsome, and I'm looking forward to...

Are you still fluteing bolts?

Problem solved. Reoads fed and shot great, no bolt hangup. Thank you

Ok, so i pulled bullets out of the rest of the reloads, resized and they were good. Then reloaded a few and they feed fine. It was a crushed shoulder. Problem seems to be resolved. Sunday I'll go to the range and test before loading anymore. Once again thank you everyone for the help. Have been...

I really appreciate all the help from everyone. Thank you.

Ok I'll do that and not crimp. Next question is can i save the cases I've already screwed up if i start over with them? Rookie mistake on my part, but i prepped extra cases before finding out i had a problem.

Yes i crimped them, and and after putting a micrometer on them it looks like i crushed the shoulder. Its .15 larger than factory ammo. So even it it has a cannelure i shouldn't crimp?

I'll check for any catch points. They are polymer. I checke feed problem with 5 different mags. Same brand but some are 5 rounds rest are ten rounds. Same problem with all. Its a bergara so only takes one style mag.

Single stack mag. That sounds like what its doing as far as round feeding below bolt.

Sorry just got back to my bench. Head space is good. The one thing i found is i crushed the shoulder a tiny bit. Where the shoulder meets the body. At the closest point of body to shoulder is .15 wider in diameter than a factory round. Not sure what i did. Either i didn't size right or i have a...

Wont let me upload pics of fired brass

Padom Sorry not sure how to includ​​​​​​e your message with my reply. Rcbs match dies. Brass shot first out of my ruger precision rifle, but full length resized for reload.i did miss several steps you mentioned. I'll go back and follow your steps and let you know. Demolitionman, I'm shooting a...

Yes, but i used a gauge that a friend gave me and it is well used. Not sure if they get worn out or not. I will buy a new one in the morning and recheck. I've been reloading lots of different calibers for awhile, but still have a ton to learn. And i really appreciate the help.

Case trim length is 1.910 and rechecked after chamfering., and coal is 2.800". Both numbers came straight from berger and hornady reload manuals. I checked factory hornady amerin gunner rounds which i get a 1moa at 100yrds with and the coal was any where from 2.780to 2.810.

I just started reloading 6.5 creedmore and having multiple problems with first batch. First thing is they aren't feeding right. Thay jam half way and i have to pull bolt back slighty then forward this gets round to chamber. Round hard chambering , bolt hard to push the last 1/8" and hard to...
