    Best Lapua brass to turn into 6.5 Creedmoor?

    No trimming of any die is needed if you use Lapua brass and anneal it, it will form perfectly fine. You will however have to over cam a little to get everything to size up right. I have made at least 1000 6.5 Creedmoor cases so I think I know a little about the subject. I did neck turn...

    Any 16-19" shorty 6.5 Creedmoor or 260rems out there?

    Well I received my gun back from H&M and the nitriding looks good. I cleaned it all up and assembled it. Took it out to the range yesterday and tested again with the same load I tested before the nitrining. Before the nitriding they were running right at 2500 with no pressure signs. After the...

    TP AR 762 7.62 NATO/.308 Remington - WTF??

    When questioned about the .308 Remington he stated it was a legit SAAMI spec case. So we googled SAAMI real quick and they showed no record of it and he also claimed it was just slightly different than the .308 Winchester and was just a different chamber spec from LMT. So when we started...

    My First Bolt Gun

    More like a 1,001, just kidding, and thanks for the props. The barrel should start to come in around 200 rounds, at least that's my experience with these barrels. And yes you should be around 2900 with the 123's, let me know if you wanna give the 140's a go we'll do some horse trading.

    TP AR 762 7.62 NATO/.308 Remington - WTF??

    Gotta love an engineer that thinks he's gods gift to the shooting community, but actually has no idea on how to hold a gun let alone shoot one. I guess he thinks the scope will do everything for him. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

    Any 16-19" shorty 6.5 Creedmoor or 260rems out there?

    I contacted H&M and they instructed me to shoot 10 rounds down mine before I sent it off. I took my 140Amax loads for my LMT which shoot 2636 out of the 20" barrel and they ran right at 2500 out of the 16.5" bolt gun. The load is a real mild load at 41.5grns of H4350 seated @ 2.82 with a slight...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Wow crazy to see you on here AIAW, Mr. post king. Thanks for the props, will be putting a few rounds down the tube on Saturday before I send it off. I will have to leave by 10 or 11 though, have to pick the in laws up at the airport. I doubt you will make it by then though. Will be checking...

    I will be posting the results when I have the #'s, but it will probably be at least 3-4 weeks before I have those figures though.

    Any 16-19" shorty 6.5 Creedmoor or 260rems out there?

    Yes I will chrono graph it with some 140 loads I have for my LMT to get a base line and then rechrono graph it when it's Nitirided to see if there is any difference. From reading up on the Nitriding I should see a little increase, not sure if it will be anything to write home about with the...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    You will get all kinds of answers with a question like that. I would say what ever suits your needs. I have several and different days I like different scopes. I have the 2.5-10 NF, 5.5-22 NF, and the ATACR. Just depends on what I'm shooting that day and where. When I'm hunting I prefer the...

    Any 16-19" shorty 6.5 Creedmoor or 260rems out there?

    Finally got the new barrel in and mounted, going out Saturday to put a few rounds down the tube before I send it off to H&M Metal Processing to get the Nitride. It came in a little heavier than I was wanting, as it sits it weighs 10.5. With the HS precision LTR stock it weighs right at 9.

    I believe the thread is for 16-19", I don't think your 26" falls in to that category. Thanks for the info anyways.
