    6.5mm Creedmoor - Small vs Large Primer - Charge Difference?

    I did a search of the forum first, but didn't find an answer. I ordered some 6.5 Creedmoor brass that takes a small rifle primer. I've always used large rifle primers in med to large rifle cases before. Any advice on regular vs. magnum, or percentage over under the recommended powder charge?

    Gunsmithing Happy Vendor Service Stories

    I was so pleased with Timney Triggers, I felt like sharing. I decided to use the #611 Timney trigger in my temporary build of my new 24 inch heavey #6 Howa barreled receiver in 6.5 Creedmoor. I've had the trigger for a while because I didn't feel like inletting my other Howa in the MDT LSS to...

    Has anyone actually gotten their hands on the new Lyman Cyclone Case Dryer?

    My backorder at MidwayUSA has been running for weeks now. I ordered it because the sale price was awesome and the wife gets tired of the oven being used more for drying brass than baking. MidwayUSA says expected overdue, OpticsPlanet says it ships in 1 - 3 months, Cabelas says it will ship in...

    Rifle Scopes Polarizing filter for rifle scopes

    I saw this topic mentioned briefly in another thread, but not much since. I used to be a semi-pro photographer. The most useful filter I used was a polarizing filter. Think back to the vibrant colors of Miami on "CSI Miami." When you see Miami (or anyplace else for that matter) with nothing but...

    Smokeless powder moisture content. Something else to consider

    I just ran across this on thefirearmblog.com, referring to an article by Vihtavuori. "Comparing results showed chamber pressures increased from 320 MPa to 355 MPa with the dried powder, and the muzzle velocity increased accordingly from 770 m/s to 790 m/s (2526 to 2592 fps). And note, this is...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action - 6.5 Creedmoor - 24 Inch - Heavy #6 - Threaded

    I couldn't help it. Brownells dropped the price of the Howa barreled action to $387. Since I've already got the original stock and Howa furniture from the .308 I moved to an MDT LSS, my resistance was next to nothing. My logic was, here's this perfectly good stock, scope rail, bottom medal...

    Super Nano Detergent bore cleaner - anyone else try it?

    I didn't know where else to post this. There's no "rifle cleaning" forum. Sometime ago, I picked this up on a whim, Super Nano Detergent Bore Cleaner, made in the Czech Republic. It's a clear liquid, seemingly odorless, and it certainly appears to have done an excellent job cleaning my .308...
