    Range Report Broken tips on Hornady 6.5 140 ELDMs

    As the OP, here's an update on my specific case. Hornady sent me a shipping tag to return the unused 140 ELDMs to them and they will ship me replacements.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Windage Zero Problem

    I think your S&B actually has much more windage than 6 mils each direction from optical center but the turrets are stopped so they won't give you more than 6 mils each direction. Use the zero stop to make sure you have enough travel to get to your zero then use the zero stop to set the turret to 0/

    6.5 Creedmoor load data question

    Ejector marks are not good, I probably wouldn't push it. You also have a flattening of the velocity curve between 41.2 and 41.4 plus your testing at 41.2 had the lowest ES and SD of your data. For many years I loaded H4350 and 140 ELDMs at velocities of around 2730-2750 with excellent results...

    6.5 Creedmoor load data question

    I would also try out 42.5 of H4350, which is my load with a 140 ELDM, Hornady cases, and CCI BR2 primers. In my testing around 42-42.5 grains, the curve of charge weight vs velocity flattened our meaning in that range the load was less sensitive to variations in charge weight which is what you...

    PVA Brakes - how good at controlling muzzle jump?

    I have PVA Jetblast's on most of my 308 and 6.5 CM rifles. In my opinion it is just as effective at recoil mitigation as my APA Gen 2 LBs with the advantage of not blasting gas, dirt, and dust all over the shooter and the shooter's neighbors.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I've got a Keystone Accuracy barreled RimX with a Green Mountain barrel and I had hard chambering frequently (but not every round) during the first hundred rounds but its smoothed out and is smooth as glass now. Part of that I think was not every round was snapping under the fixed extractor and...

    Range Report Broken tips on Hornady 6.5 140 ELDMs

    It's a run of the mill Dillon Vibratory case cleaner with ground walnut media so it isn't very rough on the brass or loaded rounds. The week after the match, I also had a bullet tip break when I was chambering the round in a Nucleus. Near as I can tell, the tip broke when it hit the feed ramp...

    Range Report Broken tips on Hornady 6.5 140 ELDMs

    Anybody else see this issue? I've shot almost 5000 Hornady 140 ELDMs since 2017 and until this month have never seen this before. A couple of weeks ago I was shooting a match and had a round go way low at 600 yds that was not due to me making a bad shot. This picture is of three broken bullet...

    AXMC 300 Win Bore Guide

    Running a patch through it one time or even doing a complete cleaning one time without a bore guide will not cause damage as long as your careful and using a good cleaning rod like Bore Tech, Dewey, etc. Don't get too wrapped up worrying about damaging your barrel from cleaning. Or as was...

    See my previous post, my RimX needed a bit of a "break in" period to run smoothly.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    My RimX in a KRG Bravo chassis was easy to set the magazine catch adjustment. I bought 3 mags and all of them were simple to adjust and all run smoothly. The first 100 rounds had a fair number that were hard to chamber, I really had to muscle the bolt forward to close, but after the first 100...

    ALWAYS WEAR EYEPRO or what happens when you shoot a 6.5 CM rd in your 260

    MarinePMI saved me the trouble to respond to dipshit, thank you. I find it ironic that a newbie who joined not even 3 months ago is calling BS on some of us long time members, with a wealth of precision rifle experience, who post infrequently and only when we have substantive information to add...

    ALWAYS WEAR EYEPRO or what happens when you shoot a 6.5 CM rd in your 260

    This morning was a practice session for some of our local precision rifle shooters. We were running some of the stages from last weeks NRL Borderwars match. The shooter next to me had a blown primer on the last round of his stage and got a faceful...

    Gunsmithing Case head separated, damage??

    I would think that its very unlikely that you caused any damage to your rifle. Besides checking your cases like @Powder_Burns said, check how much you were bumping your shoulders back. Every case head separation I have had has been because I didn't check how much I was bumping the shoulders...
