Correct, Chad at Custom Reloads of Dallas loaded up 7 different loads of the 153.5 grain Berger for me to test in my rifle. Most of them shot pretty well with 2 better than the others. The hottest of those wasn't showing any pressure signs and he thought there may be another node if we go a tad higher so he loaded one more and that one ended up being the load that we went with. I don't have a chrono, so I basically backed into the velocity which ended up being 2,750 fps out of my 20" Tikka CTR barrel.

His normal process is to have the customer send/deliver the rifle to him then Chad shoots the test loads to find which one works best then loads up the ammo and provides it back to the customer along with the rifle. He is in North Dallas (hence the name) and I am in the Austin area, about 200 miles away so he sent me the test loads to shoot. I know he prefers to shoot the loads himself since he knows how good of a shooter he is, in an effort to eliminate other variables. We've been friends more than half our lives so he does give me some preferential treatment when it comes to his typical process. That said, he was super helpful in helping me prepare and practice for this challenge.

When I got the gun back in ~2018 he and I both shot different loads together with the 140 grain ELDM and he sells that as his "6.5 Speedmoor" load.

Let me know if you need one. Pm for best prices

Still have a couple

We need to push forward hard, gain and keep the initiative/momentum.

And arrest those funding this stuff. Soros needs to get renditioned to Hungary or give him to Putin who would love to put him on trial.

Can I get a big "FUCK THE STATE!" from everyone watching what the state just pulled and got away with today?

Remember that more than 60 percent of the American people approved of Kent State. They voted for it!

Personally, I thought the guardsmen should have been reprimanded for pathetic marksmanship.

I ended up buying the Steiner H6Xi 3-18x50mm STR-MIL FFP for my next hunt, it is a total disappointment, I'm selling it,

Why are you disappointed? I love it for its features within its price point.

I think you nailed it. I'm loading 32.5gn of Varget and I'm definitely compressing the loads slightly. Additionally I didnt start seeing issues until I switched boxes of ammo, which is how I know it was happening after 100 rounds. The rest of my ammo was sitting in the truck getting nice and hot while the box I was shooting out of was open and had plenty of breeze.

I wouldnt think that Varget would expand like that but I think it adds up. I'm still on the road but when I'm back home and have access to my calipers I'll do some measuring/reseating.

I also think it's a tolerance stack thing like a thinner neck on a few pieces of brass and a few bullets also slightly thinner. Oh and 6 Dasher has a short neck so not as grabby as say a 6mmBR.

When I had to change from one brand bullet to another I had to buy a bushing .001 tighter. I could feel the difference because I use a dry lube with a bore brush to coat the inside of the necks and I use a Wilson type of seater with a arbor press.

When I was shooting 6x47L I did everything one could do to make each piece of brass like the next, using my own custom reamer for turned necks too, Warner dies, etc. I got that cartridge and the loads dialed down perfectly after going through four barrels. I had great success with a compressed load, ".003 neck tension" and .015 neck expansion, but I was off the lands enough to never have problems, usually between 10 to 20 thou off. The cool thing is I still have most of the 500 brass I bought originally. That old Lapua brass is amazingly tough!

I changed over from 6x47L to 6mmBR because it provides lower ES, less recoil, and is more precise, even though I haven't done anything to the brass except trim it. But I still lube the necks and use .0025 neck tension because that's what the bushing gives with how thick the necks are. It seems about perfect neck tension for a small repeater.

It doesn't matter at this point in my life but if I was still competing I'd probably gone to Dasher.

When the world is full of baddies, someone has to wage a crusade against them.

Thank God for good guys like Ukraine, spreading democracy and holding baddies to account.

I don't know where we would be without such a strong force of moral impetus like Ukraine...

They've been pretty $$$ for several yrs. About the only time I see a 2.0 legacy/ax mk1 or 2 under 1k is if they've been machined, bedded, painted, or modified from original.

Given that Ukraine is a morally superior military, it's their obligation to fight baddies like China.

1) That already started, but it's part of a phony power grab by Trump to access powers that he doesn't have.

2) Why? It's their money and they worked for it. We like having a source of cheap labor, and so do many other nations. Removing this natural advantage is only going to further plunge us into recession.

3) YES. Make it super easy to do the right thing, and then punish folks severely for doing the wrong thing. Apply this to every-single-government office, role, and function. Zero H1Bs for tech work, Unlimited H1Bs for agriculture and manufacturing.

4) Yes. Use the full faith and credit clause to re-establish the power of the United States Constitution. This is not the easy-button though, and will take a full reversal on Trump's embrace of tin-pot-tyranny and unconstitutional action.

5) This shit show never even started rolling. It's time to switch the brain unit on, think before acting, and get it all on rails with proper incentives and penalties in place for good and bad behavior.
