    Question for you reloaders on Load Dev

    These targets were shot after originally doing .02 gr increments. These 3 charge weights were the node I wanted to look at coming from those earlier results. right now I think the 40.9 is going to be my load. So I have another 10 rounds loaded to verify. Then I will work on seating depth tests...

    Question for you reloaders on Load Dev

    Been working on reloads for a 6.5CM. First ill say I am still new with a lot of this and this is a hunting rifle. Not a precision rifle or a really super high end rifle either. But one that I do enjoy to shoot and hunt with. Finally starting to get somewhere with help from one of the members...

    Powder dispenser

    Bought the RCBS Lite a while back and I havent had any issues out of it. I have had a few charges go over or under. But not a huge deal for me. I just dump them and redo the charge.

    Trimming Brass. how far to trim?

    I have been working on Lad Dev for my 6.5CM. Figured the CM was the easy button as some say to get my process down correctly so I know what I am doing for other rifles. Right now I have some loaded up to find my charge weight. Then plan to tweak seating depths. My question is on trimming the...

    Where do you start your seating depth for OCW load Dev

    Thanks for that info. First time I have seen that on the Nosler site and I have been on there a bunch. Now for the others will .050 also be a good starting point? If I switched to another Bullet Co. Say Berger. Is it best to just email them to get an idea of a starting point? Again. Still...

    PRS Talk Gas gun questions

    I am looking to try my hand at some PRS matches here at home in Missouri. Now I will say I am not like some that have a large budget for it, and am also not one to think that I will ever be some title contender. I'm wanting to get involved to learn and have some fun..and thats it. So in doing...

    Opinions on 2 rifles. Tikka vs Browning

    Looking to get something new and a little better than what I have now. Looking at a 6.5 PRC The two rifles I am looking at getting are a Tikka T3x Lite or a Browning XBolt Speed. Both are pretty much the same specs 24" threaded barrel etc. If you all were in the same situation which rifle would...

    Hand Priming tool. Is there a good one?

    IM not really looking for speed or anything. I probably dont load anywhere near what some here do. But one thing I do load a lot of are pistol calibers. On thing I have noticed with my Hornaday is it really gives me fits with the small pistol primers. over anything. Small rifle work fine but the...

    Hand Priming tool. Is there a good one?

    I have used an RCBS hand primer that takes the shell holders and I didn't have a great time with it. I now have the Hornaday tool. Its an even bigger pile than the RCBS. Does someone make a good one? I was looking at the Frankford Arsenal one but I think RCBS has a universal one as well. Are...

    Opinions on the TRX-925 Scale from Creedmoor Sports

    So after some looking I think my old Balance Beam scale from RCBS is not accurate. I have been doing some checking and have noticed that when i level the scale to get a zero I can run some weights through it then check it again and its off. So this leads me to think that a lot of what I have...
