So one of the best loads I’ve developed is the 77 TMK with XBR in Winchester brass. I found this particular load shortly after I built my Bartlein barreled precision AR. Over time, I’ve refined it, and also worked it up for LC brass. The loading in LC brass is my standard HD load and the one I...

Anyone have any experience with this load as far as accuracy and velocity? It’s listed at 2875 fps (20” barrel) on the Black Hills sight. I have a large stash of 69 TMK but have never found a load even close to that velocity that wasn’t a 3” group (more like a pattern… lol) or larger…. This is...

Just a heads up/PSA... if using a mandrel with a Ti-N (gold) coating that's advertised as "not needing lube", disregard that advertisement. Lube IS required. This past weekend I expanded the necks on maybe 150 pieces of 6.5CM brass that had been wet tumbled and annealed. I didn't lube the necks...

Basically using two different powders to try to get more performance out of a cartridge. Lots of variations to try to play with the pressure curves… maybe a fast powder on the bottom of the case and slower powder on top. In theory, the fast powder could ramp the pressure up fast then the slow...

Picked up a brand new pair of Razor HD 10x42 Binos (latest version) for $699 yesterday. These are MSRP at $1399 and street price around $1000… Cabelas!

Been doing testing on my AR with a 24" Proof CF 6.5CM and it seems really easy to develop loads for. So far, I've tried Hornady 140 & 147 ELDM, 130 Berger OTM, 136 Scenar-L and it loved them all. I've just started working on 142 SMK and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on other...

Been working on load development and have used these two bullets in some of my loads thus far. Very pleased with both in my rifle, but if deciding between the two, which would you choose based on the following data, assuming the same 100 yard accuracy (haven't shot at longer ranges yet): 140...

Decided to test one of my best loads with neck tension and primers as the variables instead of powder charge or seating depth. Cases were all the same year of LC, annealed, trimmed, flash hole deburred, resized, then neck tension set with my Sinclair expander & turning mandrels mandrels. The...

I tried to setup my new 6.5CM Master Hunter resizing die last night to bump the shoulders back about .004” and was destroying cases. I was using my normal lanolin lube I always do, but the dies had a LOT or resizing force and the body near the shoulders were getting warped. Any ideas what’s...

Been breaking in/tuning my Proof CF/Aero rifle and doing some light workups to fire form virgin Peterson brass. I have also been shooting factory Norma, Hornady and Berger loads to see what the gun likes and to harvest some brass. Now that I have deprimed and wet tumbled my first lot of once...

About 6 months ago I got my 16” SDM profile 223 Wylde 1:8 barrel that I ordered direct with WOA. I built it using a BCM upper (thermofit) that I trued the receiver face on and bedded with green Loctite. The handguard is a free floated SOLGM M89 and the I’m using a Riflespeed adjustable gas...

Building a 6.5CM with a 24" Proof CF barrel and need a 5/8" threaded brake. I've got a Silencerco Saker 30 caliber suppressor and need a KEYMO (dead air) spec muzzle device for it to go on this barrel. I was thinking about going with a brake of some sort instead of a flash hider. Do any of you...

Thinking about picking up one of their 6.5CM uppers and was wondering about their accuracy. Any experiences guys? ZA

I’ve got a 16“ PredatOBR in 308 Win and I’m looking to buy/build a 6.5 Creedmore upper for it. Obviously, the easiest thing to do is simply buy a LaRue upper in the caliber I’d like, but I do love building my own. Any suggestions for uppers/handguards/BCG’s that are compatible? I was thinking...
