Thanks for all the replies guys. Went back to the LGS this morning and bought an 8lb jug of the stuff. It was $199.99. A bit steep but it was available right. Shabo

Was in my local gun shop today looking for powder. Bet ya never guess what I found, not a damn thing I was looking for. Can you believe it! Anyway they had some Alliant AR-Comp on the shelf. The guy behind the counter says it has a burn rate close to Varget and RL15. I didn't buy any cause I...

I may get the AI mags. Just curious about the others. Never hurts to have alternatives does it? Shabo

Looking to buy a couple spare mags for my Creedmoor. I've read thru all the posts on this site that I could find on AI, Accurate, and Alpha mags. Seems AI are what everything else is compared to. It seems that Accurate mags are preferred over Alpha. I found a manufacturer, McRees Precision, that...

I emailed Forster about 6.5 Creedmoor dies last week. They told me they hope to have them available in a couple of months. They said they would notify me when they are available. Send them an email if you want to be notified as well. Shabo

I have a bushing FL resizing die. I use a separate collet neck sizing/decapping die on my brass. My question is whether I should leave the bushing in the sizing die even though I use the collet die to size my necks. Does the bushing keep the brass positioned correctly in the die during use? ...

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm working up a load for a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. I'm in the process of determining how far from the lands to seat the bullet. I've got some good groups (about 1/2") at 100 yds with three different loads. I'm gonna load them again and see what they'll do @ 200yds...

Been reading about the reloading process recently. I've come across some posts talking about neck sizing and the amount of tension the neck applies to the bullet. My question is what do you look for in the performance of your reloaded ammo that would indicate a need to make an adjustment to the...

Looking to buy some new dies to reload 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo. I've read a lot of good reviews for Forster and Whidden dies. I'd like to get the micrometer seater and the full length sizer. Anyone out there have experience with both brands? Forster doesn't produce the Creedmoor dies as of yet but...

EMorr, thanks, good suggestion. I'll give that a try when I get a chance. What's goin' on in Colorado man? Shocking news outa your state for sure. Pawprint2, someone on this sight read an earlier post of mine inquiring about a collet neck size die for the 6.5CM. This person suggested...

Pawprint2, I had the Lee 6.5CM collet neck die made from a .260 Rem collet die. It works great. I read one of the sticky posts here that suggested you shoot the brass till it won't chamber. Then you adjust your full length sizing die to bump the shoulder back just enough to allow the case to...

I've got a 6.5 Creedmoor rig that I've been trying to work up a load for. I'm new to reloading and I've been reloading and shooting a group of 20 cases. I've been trying to get the brass to the point that it won't chamber in my rifle so I can bump the shoulders back and set my full length die...

Anyone out there have a good recipe using 139gr Lapua Scenars over H4350 for the 6.5 Creedmoor? The reloading data I was able to find on these bullets did not include the 6.5CM. I've been running 140gr Hornady A-Max's over 41.5gr of H4350 set back .005" from the lands with pretty good results...

Re: Remove unfired primer from case? Thanks, worked fine. Shabo

Short of putting the case in my rifle and pulling the trigger, is there a safe way to remove an unfired primer from a case? Shabo

Went thru the motions to determine how far to seat my bullets so they are just touching (at least as close as I can determine)the rifling in my barrel. Loaded a few dummy rounds to the dimensions I came up with to verify that the rounds would feed from the mag and that the bolt will close on...

Are bushings used in neck sizing dies interchangable between the different manufacturers dies? Can a Hornady bushing be used in a Redding die and vice versa? Shabo

Re: Neck Sizing Die...Redding or Lee Collet? Senna11...I sent you a PM about your post. What do you have to do to mod the .260 or 6.5x55 die to work with the Creedmoor? Thanks to all for the replies. Senna check your messages. Shabo

Newbie to reloading here. Put together a reloading bench and got what I thought was necessary to begin reloading 6.5mm Creedmoor ammo for a bolt gun. I bought a set of Hornady dies, guess I bought Hornady because they are the only source for factory loaded ammo. After reading the tacked...
