    On Neck Turning?

    Re: On Neck Turning? Sure wanting to bite my tounge on this one, Sorry brother but I am not quite following you on the explanation. Couple of additional things might help. Is this a standard chamber or tight neck chamber? New or used brass? If new, did you OAL trim Then expand to uniform...

    Light primer strikes or dud primers?

    Re: Light primer strikes or dud primers? Pull one of the bullets out, just to be safe. Start putting layers of masking tape on the back of the case, easch layer will add about .003-.004 to the OAL of the case. See how many you can put on before the bolt will not close. It would be nice...

    Re: Anyone ever modify shellholder or Die ? I have had to take some off the base of the sizing die on my 6br, and 6.5x284 redding type s dies. My gunsmith told me it is better that cramming the shellholder and dies. I took .o25 off the dies with a lathe. I had the same issue, needed a...

    Short Range Match Load: Am I out Gunned?

    Re: Short Range Match Load: Am I out Gunned? Who cares if your out gunned. If you go out and shoot your 308 , and you truly shoot the best you can you will have fun. I have shot benchrest for 4 years and I shoot the 6br with a benchrest setup, but on a remington action. I have beat many a...

    Berger 95 VLD ?

    Re: Berger 95 VLD ? I use the Berger 95 vld, 105vld, and the Sierra 107's in my 6br. It shoots real nice but the VLD's wont expand like a Ballistic tip, or soft nose bullet. If you are shooting long range accuracy they are awesome. I have shot them in 1-8, and 1-10 twist barrels (20"...
