6.5 Creedmoor

RL16 is more temp insensitive then H4350. I prefer it over H4350 or just about any powder for the 6.5CM. Plus you get a speed boost with it over H4350. 100+ FPS is not uncommon when comparing the 2 loads at full boogie loads.
I use a lot of rl16 and h4350 with 6.5 cm. The velocity thing is definitely true, however, I also find rl16 to be less temperature sensitive. However, both are great in this department.

H4350 is definitely cleaner than rl16. I get similar accuracy with both using 140s.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Really ?, Is there actually enough manpower to apprehend and deport the 3000 a day ? . I will believe that when I see it . I have NEVER even seen an ICE agent in my local area, and the illegal Population is Fucking Thick Here . Not just Mexicans. I have noticed the past few years here growing #s of other S. american country illegals also. Fucking Bullshit. it is zero ICE here . MAYBE get 3000 a day just here in my county alone ' But ' ICE would have to actually magically appear here. it is so EASY PICKINGS, and ZERO WORK. All they would have to do is just actually be here and open their eyes to Easy see the illegals walking, driving around that are Brown, only 5 ft. tall. long sleeves, hat and hoody and freezing to death on a hot 80 deg. day, that can not speak the english language. and all the Fat Brown 4 ft. 5 inch tall women dragging a posse of little children around walking down the sidewalls and in every grocery store in town non speaking english. and all running around here in All public schools, public buildings 'Bibleotca' and cultural centers, business advertised in Espanol,. It's Immigration and Customs Enforcementmy my fucking ass,
.
sounds like Miami,Tampa and all over FL.

“Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

That’s me! I’m shooter #2, Scott with the Tikka. Wind was 15-20 mph that day from about 8:00, gusting to 25+. Brandon is a great guy, his mom is a hoot. Cool range, I enjoyed the challenge. Other shooters were good guys. First guy’s zero was low, he fixed it then hit both plates before he left.

6.5 Creedmoor

Never used RL16 but I think it’s pretty tempting sensitive. I used Staball 6.5 all year last year and into this year, shot great in my bergara. It is a little dirty. With Hornady brass I was getting like 12ish SDs and I’d say temp sensitivity was like .6-.8 fps/deg F. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it, I am still going to run it for this gun.

I just switched over to Lapua with H4350 for the custom build and I’m getting SDs in the 4-6 with very limited sample sizes.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Who will retaliate with canned sunshine if Russia nukes Ukraine? No one cares enough now, that Obama and the WEF no longer run the US. Europe is a deeply compromised paper tiger. Ukraine could turn into a glass crater and no one else in the world would care enough to do anything.
hope that is right. i kinda doubt it. hope Putin doesn't go there. i agree that China,NK,India and Pakistan would decline getting involved. Israel is ??? they are obviously a bit deranged. my worry would be us and NATO. doubt Trump would use nuc if we weren't hit. Putin is not crazy enough to do that. the NATO NWO crowd is the real risk. the whole thing has the potential to get out of control and fast. it seems the India/Pak danger of nuc war is past for now. i do hope Putin goes for the kill fast. this has drug on long enough and the danger of escalation out of Uke/Rus grows daily with shit like this and esp planting bombs inside Russia a la Muslim terrorists actions which looks like Z is putting in play.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Russians are different as you, they won’t grandstand or do any holy fuck lets nuke first we can just so we do something. If anything expect few generals and lower ranks to fall out of windows as competence is lacking in Russian army (as in any big system only stress shows all the rats in it) but damage as it appears is very limited and far from significant let alone catastrophic.

As to the posts above, yes Ukies really are that stupid and lack of intelligence mixed with deep hatred clearly makes for a determined population. In their case a lot of them decided to end themselves to the extent of national destruction. Basically like Germans did to themselves after in their view unjust peace after 1918 and “national rebulding” to the point some 100 years later they exist in some wierd tattoed, pierced cuckold version of once proud and capable nation.

With Anzio essentially defunct, is anyone else making 20mm or larger modern rifles available in the U.S.?

Sorry, notwithstanding the post title, I totally forgot about Anzio.

I remember Mike Remo to be a pretty personable guy. I'd hear what he has to say for himself.

As far as Anzio's FFL being current, ask for their FFL #. You can then check ATF Online (https://fflezcheck.atf.gov/FFLEzCheck/) to confirm it is current.

Go from there re Anzio.

Did you contact Warner?

Ukraine war Bullshit.

IW can go on a long time. Even after you’ve allegedly defeated an enemy. A lot of people around here know that. This is only the tip of what can be done, and they’ve eliminated over a third of their operational capability for that airframe. Some actually speculate it’s more because only about 50 aircraft were in a ready state.

This entire war is pointless, as are most. But you have to wonder what Putin is thinking. He had a pretty decent off-ramp and the OPFOR was publicly humiliated and being forced to give up the farm.

The Russian people have a decent amount of affinity from a large sector of the American people. They are proud, strong and have a rich history. So I gather going hat in hand to countries like China and Iran can’t ultimately sit well with them. It’s also human nature to grow tired of conflict. But losing pride in the process is even more devastating.

Russia’s immediate reaction was to once again threaten to light one off. That doesn’t just look weak, it looks malicious and dangerous.

Find a way to end the conflict…that is unless that’s not what you really want.

Switching between manners stocks

Just as a data point of one, I have a LRH mini chassis that just won’t get the same level of precision as other LRH’s I own. Tried multiple barreled actions in the suspect stock. Tried multiple action screw torque values from 50 in-lbs front/45 back, to 90 and 90. Same hand loads. Take a barreled action from that stock and drop it into one of my other LRH’s and holes on target don’t lie. I did this with five barreled actions (2 defiance and 2 impacts, one Mac bros element), with barrels from Bartlein, Carbon 6 and Mullerworks chambered by very well known gunsmiths with very strong reputations nationally and definitely in competition shooting. It is repeatable and noticeable.

I have no real idea what the issue is with that stock. I suspect there is a straightness issue in the mini chassis layup, causing some small stress on the actions. The group sizes consistently reflected tighter groups in a different LRH, TCS, TS Customs KS1 and Foundation Gideon.

I think a careful bedding job would solve the problem, I just haven’t done it yet. Part of the attraction to the mini chassis is not being tied to one action, but I probably need to just bite the bullet and bed it.
That’s an interesting point and anything is possible when you’re dealing with hand made stuff, that could have some sorta variation that’s unnoticeable unless you have the exact same thing to compare it to.

It probably doesn’t help that it’s a new cartridge I’m working with in this stock, but then again I’ve never noticed this in the past doing load development in the PRS1. I think that’s what is throwing me in off, I’ve got multiple variables in this situation and no clear reason besides think it’s a stock issue.
