    6.5x55 Swede

    I need around 2650 for the 140's. I did notice the lapua data for the SKAN to show N540 for the 136. I do have a fair amount of that, and some 136's I might try that with them and the 140's.

    6.5x55 Swede

    I was hoping H1000 would work better than it did. I don't think you can get enough of that in the case for pressure issue. I have alot of everything but H4350 or RE22. The RE22 loads I had were ld and used in a M38 Swedish Mauser. The CZ550 was a nice surprise and really got me interested in the...

    6.5x55 Swede

    lets get this back up. I just got a 6,5x55 CZ550 for shooting Silohuette with. bedded it and its a great rifle, shoots better than I thought it would. With 140 Hornady HPBT, in Rem cases 35.3 8208xbr shot same POI at 200 as 46.5 RE22 with 142 sierras, and would put 5 of them into just under an...

    69 SMK and H4895

    24.2 of H4895 with the Hornady 75 mag length or the Berger 75 VLD long loaded has been rediculous for me. In an AR. in my Bolt gun, 25.0 of H4895 with the 75 Berger is scary.

    6XC Loads

    39.5 H4350 and 105-107 anything jump .010 works well for me in a 26 in 1-7.5 Bartlein 5R and Barnard P action. 10 shots will group under .5 with a sling and irons at 100. 40.0 RE17 with Moly 115 DTACS jumping .010 resulted in a 200-17x at 600 yds iron sights and a sling. 37.0 Varget with a 90...

    69 SMK and H4895

    25.0 H4895 has been very consistent for me in several rifles. H4895 is often overlooked for 223 but has proven to be the best powder I have tried for it in several rifles with several bullet weights.

    Range Report 62GR vs M855

    In a match grade rifle I think you would be surprised. I don't know if you are familiar with NRA or CMP High Power rifle course, but I have shot clean scores for 20 shots sitting, at 200, and prone 300 yd NRA target, timed rapid fire. Standard ATC High-power course of fire, with an A2 NM rifle...

    How to carry a heavy rifle

    A "coolie" is actually what Americans called Chinese immigrants, its the equivalent to the N word, but since my wife doesn't read the 'hide, I guess it's ok... ;) They were called thuggies or Punjabs to be disrespectful. During OIF-1, one of our soldiers asked a British soldier if one of the...

    How to carry a heavy rifle

    I'd say you'd need a heavy rifle first... When you get one, a heavy rifle that is, the above suggestions do work well. I just sling it, or bush carry. Mine with can is over 17lbs... Ill weigh it tomorrow and see... Just messin with you man. ;)

    6mm Creedmoor barrel life in GAP10?

    If you think your there then you are. There is no set number, but over 3000 is probably better than most! Barrels are expendable, get a new one and don't think about it. I have had 223 AR barrels that have gone 5000 rds and some only went 3000. They still shot good at 200, but were bad at 300...

    4895 or 4064 plus 69gr smk for .223

    Yep. Came to the same load several years ago and has shot well in every rifle I tried it in. Several others came to the same conclusion. Save your 4064 for 308/30-06

    Anyone have a go-to load for 77 SMK and H4895?

    Leid, IMR 8208 XBR is damn near short cut H4895. I think you'll like it. Meters like a ball powder but like H4895 in behavior. Except when you get close to the top end, then it's a small window from ok to dammit. 24.3 is ok but 24.5 blew primers. 24.0 is pretty stout, but not bad. 23.2-23.6...

    Has anyone seen a spare AI bolt before?

    You exceeded course standards. I should send you a 1059 stating such. " Finding Waldo - exceeds course standards." You'd be honor grad!

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    Very nice. My 5R with 175's typical 5 shot, Typical 5 shot when I dick it up... You know the "Flyers" ;) My favorite rifle right now is a Barnard P 6XC in an eliseo. The stock is still needing adjustment, and if its not right it's a horrible thing... But, these 10 shots here were after 2...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    For me, 5 rounds minimum, and 10 is best, and when I know I'm not all dicked up. Some days I know it's me and I have a shot gun... But when I am on, it will do it without fail. O only have 3-4 rikes i can count on to do that. I agree on flyers at 100 being the man, 600 a close in flyer maybe...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    Mine took some effort, and some rounds down range before it started shooting good. Always bipod and rear bag. I know I'm lucky to have one that shoots that good. Fwiw, the best loads so far have been 44.3 RE15 with 175 in win case, 45.0 Varget with 175 in lapua or Nosler case, 45.0 N150, same...
