    18" SPR 6.5 Grendel Build Complete w/ Load DATA**

    Re: New 6.5 Grendel Build Complete. (PIC HEAVY) Nothing will fit OVER your Vortex and I forgot to mention that the Cyclone would require you to rethread your barrel to 5/8-24 tpi so in my opinion no go for the Cyclone on your current barrel due to the hassles of setting back losing length and...

    NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR

    Re: NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR I wouldn't say "well", about 1.5 moa of vertical with the XBR @ 43.0. I could be happy with half that. I did run the numbers on Exbal and the calculated elevation is within .25 moa of actual, so velocity is very close on the CED?? Again is all...

    Re: NEED 223 LOAD ? - 77SMK with IMR 8208 XBR Wow! From the lack of response I guess we are both going to be in the dark a while. I'm guessing it is the new secret recipe nobody wants to discuss!? I have some inside info that this is the new combo for a major manufactures new match...

    Re: Hottest load for .223? Rewind before you take any advice on that ? Accuracy should be your main concern not max velocity. Also to give you any guidance it would be helpful to know some parameters, rifle/chamber/twist...??

    115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ?

    Re: 115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ? I called CED today and of course they were mystified by my complaint. They promised to have their main tech give me a call in the evening but I didn't hear from them, YET. They tried to tell me that my testing process was flawed because, I did not...

    115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ?

    Re: 115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ? Oh man! I know you are all going to wonder about me at this point! I sold my Oehler 35 a few months back thinking it was getting a little old and thinking something newer would be more accurate and bought into the sales hype of the CED M2 with the...

    Suppressors SUB-SONIC / CYCLONE AND TRAIL BOSS LOADINGS ?

    Any experience out there with the 308/Cyclone and Trail Boss sub-sonic loadings? Yes, I understand the instructions say no subsonic ammunition and only factory FMJ is recommended. Just curious if someone has been there and done that with any success.

    115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ?

    Re: 115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ? ALMAORFE, on your 243 GAP barrel, what brand, land config. and twist rate are you working with? What are your min. and max. thus far for RL17 and have you settled on a bullet to land dimension that seems sweet?

    115 DTAC at 3150 fps in 243 Win ?

    Just wondering what is successful in the 243 Win with the 115 DTAC to achieve 3100 to 3150 fps. I have a Bartlein 7.7 5R 28" barrel and have tried RL-25 at up to 48.2 grains with very little in the way of pressure signs (very slight bolt hesitation and NO ejector marking) and have settled back...
