    5.56 75 ELD-M - 2.26 COAL???

    When loading a 75 gr. ELD-M to a 2.26 max COAL, the bullet sits deep in the case. 2.6 COAL obviously to get the round to fit in a magazine. The bullet would have to be seated to a COAL of 3.03 for the full bullet diameter to be is the case. Looks a little odd. Any issues with seating a...

    Wilson Die Questions

    I am going to get a Wilson Die Kit 2 which includes the Case gage, bullet seater & the bushing FLD (full length die). It does not include the neck bushing. I am just getting into 6.5 creedmoor & waiting for my MPA rifle. I have 500 rounds of Eagle Eye Ammo which uses Alpha SRP brass. I don't...

    6.5 Creedmoor - 147 ELD-M H4350 SRP Loads

    Just starting to load 6.5 Creedmoor. Picked up (500) 147 gr. ELD-M bullets & 3 lbs. of H4350. Will be using Alpha SRP brass. This will be shot out of a Masterpiece Arms rifle w/ a 26" barrel for PRS shooting out to 1000 yards. Seems like most people end up between 41 to 42 grains & 0.020...

    Starting to Load 6.5 Creedmoor - which dies?

    I have loaded for some time but never have been as good of a precision rifle reloader as I would like to be. I have all the basic equipment & have been loading for 5.56 & .308 but now need to get set up for 6.5 creed. Plan on full length sizing - which die model & manufacturer? Always have...

    Eagle Ammo - 6.5 Creedmoor 140 gr. Berger Hybrids

    Just picked up 500 rounds of Eagle Eye ammo for a 6.5 Creedmoor. Got 140 gr. Berger Hybrids for $235 / 100 rounds. I'm just getting into 6.5 (just shot 308 & 5.56 before) and needed some brass. At that price I'd spend almost the same on components. The brass is made by Alpha. The guy that...

    Cutting Barrel Down on 300BLK MCX

    I have a Sig MCX in 300 Blackout w/ a 16" barrel. The rifle shoots very well for what it is. Consistently 2 moa or better. Not talking about the best 3 round group shot ever but consistently shooting 2 moa based on five groups of five shots. Anything from subs to 125 gr. supers. Anyway, I want...

    MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II - Folder or not?

    I just ordered a MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II rifle. This has their BA ESR chassis. I ordered it with a folding stock. I don't really need a folder but many people say that cleaning is easier. The rifle is already fairly heavy and the folder adds about 8 oz. I can still change the order...

    How far is a 18" 223 good for as a trainer

    How far can a 5.56/223 w/ an 18" barrel be used as a trainer? Reason I ask is because I just got a Seekins HIT PRO w/ a 18" 223 barrel. I'm guessing that the I'll be launching 75 grain ELD-M bullets at no more than 2750 FPS. Basing this on getting 2850 out of a 22" barrel. My load for that...

    Just got a Seekins HIT PRO

    Just bought a Seekins HIT PRO. Got a 6.5 Creedmoor along w/ 223 & 308 barrels. This is going to be my first 6.5 and I like shooting my 223 & 308 so figured might as well get the barrels. Not too happy that the 223 is only a 18" barrel, but still should be good as a trainer out to 600 yards...

    308 - 1 in 10 vs. 1 in 11.25

    Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle & noticed that their 308 has a 1 in 11.25 twist. My 700 AAC has a 1 in 10 twist which I really like. I generally shoot 178 gr. bullets & go out to 1000 yards. Will the 1 in 11.25 be fast enough?

    260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

    Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle in either 260 or 6.5 Creedmore. Would be shooting PRS out to 1000 yards. Which cartridge is easier to develop accurate loads for? Leaning towards the 260 because I have a lot of 308 brass. Yes, I would buy brass for either, but if things ever get crazy...

    Seekins HIT vs. Masterpiece Arms BA PMR

    Don't much about the Seekins, but can get a really good deal on one in 260 Rem. How does it stack up to a Masterpiece Arms rifle?

    How to Clean A Suppressor

    I have a Griffin Armaments Bushwacker 46 suppressor. The body & baffles are made out of 17-4. They say that it is OK to throw the baffles in a ultrasonic cleaner but do not recommend doing that to the tube body even if a mild cleaner (simple green or dawn) is used. They say that it will...

    POF Revolution Piston AR10

    My brother is considering the purchase of a POF Revolution piston AR10. How does this compare to other high end AR10? Cannot get over how light this rifle is. What are pros & cons of piston vs. DI for a gun like this?

    Difference in shooting a Semi-Auto vs. Bolt Gun

    What is the proper way to shoot a semi-auto 308? From what I understand, The bipod should be slightly loaded and the grip pulled firmly back to shoulder. Is this correct? On a light recoiling heavy rifle (11 lb. AR 15) is the above true as well?

    Shooting 308 off a Bench

    When shooting a 308 off a hard bench (concrete) am I better off shooting off of a bipod or sandbags. With sandbags it seams as if you have to shoot 'free recoil' which I would think on a 308 will result in larger groups. I generally shoot w/ a bipod loading the bipod a little and firmly pull...

    H870 & 300 WinMag

    I have 5 lbs. of H870 and have been working up some loads for my 300WM & I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. I loaded up 10 rounds each of a Hornady 212 ELD-X with 82.0 gr., 83.0 gr. & 84.0 gr. Seated bullet to a 2.918" base to ogive length (3.629" COAL). This left me w/ a 0.008"bullet...
