    **6 Creedmoor**

    Hi all, I've got a 6mm CM gas gun being built and am working on getting all the components set up to reload when it gets here. I'm planning on using the Redding Type-S bushing dies, since that's what I have for everything else. What bushings will I need to order to use with lapua or Peterson...

    Thank you. Knowing what the details are definitely helps when trying to compare data.

    That makes more sense, thanks.

    @Defender3 - Great charts, but they are essentially worthless to anyone unless you also include which brass you're using for each load as well as which gun you are shooting it from (gas or bolt) as well as the barrel length. Without that data to go by, trying to use someone else's data to get...

    .260 Remington

    Yeah, was thinking the same thing on the Berger 130s. I have a node down around 2750-60 that was good. I might explore back down in charge weights to see if I can find a node around that 2790 factory load range. Mine is also a 22" gas gun. How was the cycling and pressure of that factory...

    .260 Remington

    Sadly, I bought the Prime mainly to shoot in the gas gun and save the Lapua for the bolt gun. But I didn't expect them to go this quickly.

    GAS gun = 130 Berger AR Hybrids @2850 and 123 ELD-M and 123 Scenars at 2890-2905. Bolt gun load = 140 Berger Hybrids @ 2875. Gas gun Load for the 130 Berger AR Hybrid was 42.8 H4350, 2.840 OAL, Fed 210 primer @2850-2860fps. Gas gun load for the 123 ELDs and Scenars was 43.2 H4350, 2.840...

    .260 Remington

    No clue on what version of Prime. They came in unmarked sealed plastic bags of 100 with PRIME headstamped on them. I don't recall whether the distributor's webpage said which. I'll have to go back and look at where I bought them from. I'm pretty sure it was Powder Valley.

    No, the lapua is doing fine in terms of primer pockets. I'm getting a bit of swipe on both. But the Lapua is not seeing the same issues as the prime after the same number of firings.

    .260 Remington

    So..... I've tried to give my Prime .260 brass a fair experiment and frankly my opinion of them is they are meh. I've now shot them in an AI-AT bolt gun and a JP gas gun. I get good accuracy from them with both rifles, but the primer pockets went to shit within 4-5 rounds. I was shooting some...

    .260 Remington

    I've not personally shot them in my .260. But a friend and Hide member here has shot some in his 6.5 CM. He reports they are OK but nothing to write home about and that their BC advantage over say a 140 Berger Hybrid isn't really noticeable until 1200+. I recall him saying he would take the...

    Which Bullet in a 6mm Creedmore Gas gun? 105 or 109 Berger Hybrids?

    I have a 6mm CM upper on order and 6 months out and I'm trying to stock up on components as I find them in stock. Are there any issues with shooting the 105 or 109 Berger Hybrids in a gas gun? Especially the 109s as I assume they are longer. Are there any other bullets you guys are having...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    I got an AT in .308 a while back and then bought a couple of 26" Bartlein .260 barrels. Best rifle I've ever owned and was 1/3 MOA accuracy out of the box. It's one of the few rifles where I've never once thought..... "I just wish this one thing was different". There's nothing I would change...

    Carbon ring removal

    Just FYI...... I didn't find the Boretech eliminator to do much on carbon. It was great on Copper though. I use the Boretech Carbon C4 and it works really well on carbon. It does a good job on the carbon ring if you let a well soaked patch around an oversize nylon brush sit in the chamber...

    What scope is everyone running for elr

    I’m sorta with you on this. I’ve got two S&B 5-25s with the MSR and P4F reticle. I’ve not looked anything before or since that had the optical clarity and “pop” as these do. I have a new Razor HD gen 2 4.5-27 and the glass is good but not in the same ballpark as the Schmittys. I’ve looked...

    Maybe where you are. But I’ve often shot matches where they are running two or more shooters simultaneously. I’ve even done some where everyone shoots side by side at paper KYL targets.

    Thunder Beast Suppressors.

    The SCAR has a switch block and the two gas precision guns have a JP detent adjustable gas block that allows me to tune the gun. I also run the VMOS (variable mass bolt carrier) and silent captured spring (SCS) on both the .223 and the .260 gas gun, so that helps the tuning tremendously of the...

    Thunder Beast Suppressors.

    A couple of things...... the earpro issue is moot unless everyone else is also shooting suppressed. Shooting a can during a match when the guy next to you is shooting a 300Win mag with a Brake completely defeats any advantage of the earpro issue. 2nd, IF you are running a brake on your rifle -...

    Thunder Beast Suppressors.

    I have an Ultra 7 .223 can (with the TBAC brake mount) and I shoot it ONLY on semi's. In fact I switch it across 3 guns - a JP barreled precision AR-15 (MK12 Mod 0 clone), a SCAR 16 10.5' SBR and an LMT piston 12" SBR. Function in all is flawless with the can. I've never had any issues...
