Thats pretty good considering the brass

Looked last night, both my 50gr vmax night load and my 77smk Dillon loaded 223 wylde use cci 400 and tac. The 77smk is running 2995ave in 24" nucleus. The night load is 50gr vmax@3135 ave in a 16.5" cz600trail. Not sure if you want to call those high pressure, med pressure, or whatever...

It's gonna be my yote rifle and probably run thermal on it at night in season. The Athlon is just my load work slave scope that I use on rifles that will have lower mag scopes. I've got a leupold(I know I know) 4.5-14x30 vx3 lr that got a m1 knob and tmoa-32 reticle at their custom shop. It's...

I'll check but I've got 2 loads for my 223 wylde bolt gun. One is br4, h4895 and 75gr eldm@3005fps. The other is loaded on a Dillon with tac, 77smk, and I think cci 400(need to check notes, as it might be 450s). That load is running 2995fps, never had any issues with pierced or blanked...

Now, I just use berger, Sierra, and Hornady manuals. Never used any Speer bullets so I never saw the point in getting their manual. Sounds like Fudd lore authored their shit......add 1 more reason not to get Speer manual.

Did some load work with my pva solus 22 creed, 8tw 22" med palma. So far load work is showing promise with 75eldm, hopefully barrel speeds up a little.

I actually use 450 in my 223 bolt gun loads Lol, I'd like to see proof of this statement because it sounds made up as shit. Fgmm and rem small rifle primers have a thinner cup than cci400, 450, and br4. There's a reason why fed made fgmm ar primers, because the chance of slam fire with...

Not sure but magnum primers vs regular do cause some sd/es issues with 6.5prc.

I used 68gr bart Sauter hammerheads back when I shot.

Yeah, inside 300yds a 6ppc destroys a 6br. Also, inside 300, most br shooters use a flat base 65-68 as it's more accurate than a bt.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. From the number of "how come my aw mag isn't feeding" threads, it's not always easy. Other then shorter height and being able to top load mag, why want of aw? Aics centerfeed mag always positions rd higher and smoother into chamber.

Yeah, what I thought. Good luck with aw mags in a 2 lug, it can be done somewhat reliably, but its a fickle bitch.

Is that a 3 lug action with bottom lug at 6 oclock?

Tikka barrels in 6.5creed tend to last awhile, as they're slow in my experience.

And identical headspace. Now, how much does op bump shoulders back? Can't really measure anything buy fired brass from the new chamber to know how much bump he needs to shoulders. Guess you'll need to knock shoulders back until the bolt closes nice on them and start again.

If the new barrel speeds up during first 100-200rds, what the point of doing load work early?

I've been a big believer in 6br, shot it in benchrest and even posted a tutorial on here 12+yrs ago about how to modify ai mags to run 6br(definitely should have patented it as primal rights is a fancy duplicate of mine) I initially tried varget and it shot good and showed promise, but I...

I hate 8208, spikes hard suddenly at top end and I've never got as good accuracy with it as I can with varget or h4895, in 223 or 6br

It's no where near as temp sensitive as imr non-enduron powders or re15. For awhile, tac was the powder uses in mk262 ammo. I will not say it's as temp stabil as h4350, h4895, or h1000, but its no where near as bad as re15 1+fps/°. I've found it easier to load, more temp stable, and smoother...

I've had good luck with tac and h4895 with light and heavy bullets. I've got a tac/50gr vmax load, tac/77gr smk load, and h4895/75eldm. The 77gr and 50gr are loaded on a dillon, 75 on single stage. The tac is thrown with Dillon measure. Heres a 10shot string with the 50gr vmax in a 17" bolt gun
