[GrantA]

Get a copy of the print and call Whidden to discuss custom dies Whidden Gunworks
I feel like they'd get them to you faster than 20 weeks

J,
Contacted Ben and no custom die are being made in June and looking at a 20 week lead time . I think hornady need to do some hiring

Hmmmmm, dark flat earth I see, as ive stated in a previous reply here mine will be the same color. Cant quite make out the velocity on your target, I know you're not getting 3345 out of a 6 Creed, must be from a different rifle, eh? I get 3144 from 41.9grs H4350, 28" tube.

Getting 3168 fps from the 105 Berger Hybrid's with 42 grains of H-4350 @ 2.80 COAL. Chrono was 12' from the muzzle. On the 3rd target my first shot of 6 was the flyer, the other 5 all clustered together. So far, I have 48 rounds down the tube.

Thats more like it, just loaded now an hour ago 42grs H4350 under 105 AMPs with the 270 bushing, going to see if it makes a difference at 600yds this sunday. 276 down my tube.

270 bushing? Are you using redding dies?

Nope, the same Hornady custom dies I had made, I did order that Redding 6XC custom seater die from Tubb yesterday, though.

What modifications do you need to make to use the Tubb Seater for the 6 Creedmoor? I am just using the stock Hornady dies, but did order the Micrometer for the seater.

Nothing, both the XC and creedmoor have the same 30 degree shoulder, only thing is the creed case is .017" longer.

Your 308 Redding seater wont work, I tried already, I have 30-06 Redding dies, Tubb does that modification, not Redding.
