Does McMillan send them out one way or the other unless specified at build time? Doesn't seem to be much...

    H414 vs H4350

    Any other 260 / 6.5mm shooters have some thoughts on this? H414 availability seems OK lately but H4350 and Varget are damn near impossible to find as of late. Thanks.

    Re: Using Bushing Dies???! FYI -- the concept of stepping down twice with a bushing die is covered here at Germán Salazar's shooting blog. It's worth a read, as well as many of his other great articles.

    Berry's Bullets?

    Re: Berry's Bullets? I load Berry's 9mm 115gr RN-DS, FP-DS and 45ACP 230gr RN-DS, all with great results. Powder Valley is usually the best deal for Berry's but 427Cobra does have a point in that $20-30 (depending on shipping) per 1K will move you up from plated to FMJ.

    Range Report Is my chronograph off?

    Re: Is my chronograph off? I've been wondering if my ProChrono has been lying to me as well. A few weeks ago I was looking for 2700fps out of the 175 SMK and was shocked to find that it took all the way up to 45.8gr of RL-15 to get there. Rem 700 SPS-V 26" 1:12 Winchester brand 308 brass...
