    Easier to covert 224 Val to 6mm AR Turbo or to 6mm Val?

    I'll look into them; thanks.

    Easier to covert 224 Val to 6mm AR Turbo or to 6mm Val?

    Thanks; that's not a cartridge that I had previously considered. I'll do some digging.

    Easier to covert 224 Val to 6mm AR Turbo or to 6mm Val?

    Precisely; this is, I concur, frustrating. This was a factor in my looking at necking a 224 V up to 6mm, since that brass is still around. 6.5 G brass available on Grafs, I believe it was. It was either there or Midway. Critters I am referring to are black bear in the 250 - 600-lb. range...

    Easier to covert 224 Val to 6mm AR Turbo or to 6mm Val?

    I've got an upper already barreled for a 224 Val, with the appropriate bolt head and a modest amount of brass. Strongly considering moving this over to a 6mm barrel for use on our farm against some of the local predators (.22 is not appropriate or adequate). I'm looking specifically at whether...

    Powder used in Barnes 5.56 Vor-Tx 70 g TSX factory ammo?

    Wondering if someone has pulled one of these apart and ID'd the propellant; I have some that I'm going to disassemble to repurpose the TSX in a Val, and would like to re-use the propellant if possible (not necessarily in the Val).

    Barnes TAC-TX 110 300 BLK question

    I load for .30-06 with a pre-owned set of Hornady dies; I'll try a swap later today, as you recommend. Good suggestion; thank you.

    Barnes TAC-TX 110 300 BLK question

    Brand new 300 BLK Starline brass. What's happening is that, in the process of seating the bullet to the proper depth, the plastic tip is becoming firmly stuck in the seater (this is happening without having the die set to crimp the bullet in place; I can only imagine that it would be worse if I...

    Barnes TAC-TX 110 300 BLK question

    This is part of the problem; I have always preferred Forster dies over all others, but over the past few months (probably the last year, actually), they have been nearly impossible to come by. I'll see if I can score a set and sell the other dies off.

    Barnes TAC-TX 110 300 BLK question

    I have been attempting to load these using the RCBS small base die set. The seater keeps pulling the plastic tip out of the bullet; this is in the process of seating the bullet to the appropriate depth. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and, if so, what the solution is. Tension on...

    Accessories FOUND Tikka .260 Rem CTR barrel (thank you, Concrete Shooter)

    Looking for either of the factory lengths; must be the CTR contour with threaded muzzle. Ideally looking for something with little or no use, and which was properly removed from the action without marring the barrel or damaging threads. Thanks for looking! Many thanks to Concrete Shooter. He...

    Left Hand Sale WTB: Left-handed Tikka T3 or T3x action with .376 bolt face

    I'm not particular about the action being blued or stainless. Can be with a barrel. What I am ultimately looking for is an action in good overall condition, working smoothly and properly, with trigger, and a clean bolt face. To reiterate, I am looking a left-handed action. Please PM me if...
