    .260 Remington

    Has anyone tried the 130 grain closed nose Sierra Matchking? Looking at them to try in the new build. I will be testing the 130 AR Hybrids as well

    .260 Remington

    Well, a guy that used to work for me called a while back asking if I shot a .260 Remington. He had nearly 500 pieces of Lapua brass that he want to off load, for free! I picked it up today and then ordered a new SAMMI chamber reamer from JGS. I’m going to order the barrel tomorrow, to put on a...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    I’m sorry for the late response. I stopped messing with the 6.5x47 Lapua load there to work on the 6mm BR that I built. I’m most likely going to start over with it my next trip home. I have some N150 to test with it when I get back in as well.

    6mm BR

    I have tried R7.5’s with several different powders in several different cartridges. In my experience, R7.5’s work better with H4350 and H4895. Not saying that they don’t work with the powders, I just got better results with those two.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    I’d hate to give that information out. That load is shot out of a well worn HH marksman barrel that is only used for hunting now. It was my first 6.5x47 barrel for competing in PRs. You will need to work up for your own safety. Probably start around 35 grains.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    The only 120 grain bullet that I shoot in my 6.5x47 is the Nosler ballistic tip. It’s pushed with H4895 to 2910 fps. That’s my hunting load. I’ve shot thousands of the 123 Lapua Scenars pushed with RL15 to 2930 fps. Velocities are from 24-26” barrels. I tried several different powders but these...

    Padom, are these the factory seconds that they have listed on their site? That’s all I see on there

    6mm Dasher

    I turned a 6mm HawkHill blank into a Dasher a few weeks ago. I haven’t had much time to do a proper load work up yet put this is very promising! The green target is 109 BHLR behind RL15.5 and 450’s. Both loads with Alpha Virgin brass. The 109 load is 2730 fps. I don’t have a speed on the 108 BEH yet

    6.5x47 Lapua

    I built a 6.5x47 Lapua last Saturday and finally got it to the range today. About 40 rounds down the tube after this session. Tested 123 SMK’s, 140 Berger Elite hunters, 140 ELD-M and 135 Hornady A-tips. Testing was with H4350. This was the best group of the day. I’ll run this until I get 200...

    6mm Dasher

    Has anyone tried the Berger 108 Elite hunter on game, yet? Wondering how they perform on wild pigs and deer. I’m on my 3rd Dasher barrel. I also have one at A-Team Precision to be chambered. I’ve been testing the lower nodes with 107 SMK’s, 105 Hybrids and the 109 LR Hybrids. I’m really liking...
