    .224 Valkyrie

    I have an XL650 as well, but have kept its focus on pistol and 223 reloading. I haven't done any measurements on the loaded rounds for concentricity but the 223 loads from the XL650/RL550 will keep groups in the 1/4 to 1/2 moa range if I sort the LC brass to keep it the same headstamp and year...

    help with progressive loading powder funnel issue

    I assume you are doing something like the picture I have attached? If you can't adjust the Lee one to work better, just get a Dillon one... it'll work.

    Neck Turning: How Often?

    The only PMA tool I have at the moment is the trimmer, but based on the quality of that tool and their excellent customer service, I wouldn't hesitate to buy something else from them if I needed it.

    PRS Talk PRS target size?

    Most popular is to go with 2 MOA. May want one that is larger than that for the longest distance if you plan to shoot/practice in areas with a lot of wind, or want to stretch past 800 once in a while.

    Neck Turning: How Often?

    Turn once and be done. As said above, use an angled cutter to match the angle of your shoulder. I have the PMA neck turner with matching cutter angles for all my different case angles. The PMA is very well made... highly recommend it!

    What die 6.5

    I buy the Forster die sets if I can, but the Redding die sets are great as well. Tons of Redding options depending on what you prefer and how much you are willing to spend.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Thanks for the feedback... I have been happy with my PST Gen II, so will have to give the ETR a close look if it is at least as good or maybe better.

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    Thanks @MDT_Josh ... I was interested in the AICS mags in relation to Savage and Remington 700 actions for the Oryx. Sounds like you guys have that covered now... sweet!

    Bipod use help

    I noticed groups open up when shooting off a bipod one day compared with off a rest in the same shooting session. Was wondering why because I 'felt' very stable on both. Thought about it a bit and next day, I brought back a piece of rubber bottomed carpet to lay on top of the smooth concrete...

    Hunting & Fishing Nosler RDF

    I've got some 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr RDF's that shoot right with the Hornady ELD-M bullets. (Regularly 1/2 MOA, often better). Hadn't thought of using the RDF's on game, but sounds like some of you guys are having good success with them!

    Muzzle Break on a 6.5 CM

    I have a Precision Armament M11 on my 6.5 Creedmoor and it has been great. Read a lot of reviews before purchasing and for me it came down to the PA M11 or M4-72. Went with the M11 because it was only ~3% less recoil reduction but didn't direct the blast back toward the shooter or the ground...

    High SD/ES with AR and 55gr class bullets

    ^^^ This... Tula/Wolf and cci450 primers are very good for consistent, accurate loads. Rem 7 1/2 are okay if you can't find the above. Haven't seen the Tula or Wolf available for a couple/few years now though...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    I have a Cronus that I really like, so may have to give one of these Ares ETR's a try. Would like to hear if anyone has both a PST Gen II and an ETR to see which one they prefer and why.

    .224 Valkyrie

    I plan to get the full length Forster benchrest die set and then send a few fired cases and the sizing die back to Forster to get it honed out so the brass is not getting over worked. I have neck bushing dies in some other wildcat calibers that I form brass for, but want to try a FL die that is...
