    Which Brands of commercially available 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition come in Lapua Cases?

    Berger loaded munitions and Creedmoor sports. Funny thing. Creedmoor Sports was making Berger bullet, Vitivirin powder, lapua brass ammo prior to the newly formed Capstone group. Wonder what the story is there.

    Which Route For A Range Toy

    .223 because you already have a 6.5. Jon Beanland (Beanland Custom Rifles) built me a tack driving .223 this year. It is insane what those little 80.5 Bergers will do. Custom chamber for the Bergers, 1-7 twist Hawk Hill barrel. 200 get loaded weekly on the Dillon 550. Lapua brass $52 per 100...

    More Dillon 550 Primer Issues

    FYI, don’t go buying the alignment too off EBay or the like. Dillon gave me one for free a few months ago. I was calling in an order for more accessories and asked about it. Cool little tool. Haven’t had a need for it yet, but I ice to know it’s there.

    223 Barrel Poll

    I did this recently. Hawk Hill because it was in stock. I’ve got just about everyone else’s barrels on something. Per my application, I can’t tell a difference between any of the top brands. Beanland built .223, .160 freebore, 1-7 twist, 24” M40 contour. Stupid accurate with Berger 80.5, ELDMs...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol red dot - Aimpoint Acro or RMR for glock

    Holosun 508 green dot. Just finished a 3 day 2,500 total round count course. My first pistol dot, eyes going fast with age. Big reticle used to get used to using a pistol optic. 1 MOA reticle after that. Day or night, supper bright sunlight or fading, worked like a champ. Could not be...

    You mean like the print in the reloading manual?

    168 SMK vs 168 STMK

    Agree. Same brass, primer, powder charge, but different bullet will shift left to right zero. Don’t worry about a thing. I would like to hear your experience on the MK vs TMK. Personally, they were not worth the price difference to me. So I went back to the 155 MK.
