    Budget Reloading- help please

    I use an rcbs rockchucker press but have used Lee dies for years with no issues. I get good enough accuracy with Lee dies, especially their collet neck die that I often wonder why Ive bought higher priced dies. Seems like I started out with the rock chucker kit when it was on sale at midway...

    No 147gr ELD-M love?

    My brother with an rpr is shooting 147’s over rl 16 and getting the same speed as my 140 accuracy node with 4350. Both loads very good accuracy

    Trigger Tech ?

    A recently a couple months ago got a TT special straight shoe. Breaks perfectly clean no creep or overtravel. I just can’t get the thing to not feel heavier although the pull gauge shows it’s breaking the same weight as my jewels. It’s the first straight I’ve had. Perhaps that’s the...

    POLL: Most comfortable Stock or Chassis for YOU?

    I’m a manners/McMillian looks and feel guy. Perhaps just because it’s what I’m used to. Recently got an mpa lite chassis and trying to get used to it

    What would be the major difference ....

    I agree. I’ll be tempted to test a better bc bullet when I run out of 175smk’s. They are hard to leave because they aren’t finicky to jump. Im still burning a factory Remington 5r milspec barrel which has a huge jump. I would love to true it and Rebarrel but it shoots good enough I can’t...

    What would be the major difference ....

    And as far as reloads go you can’t go wrong with Lapua Brass, cci or federal match primer and whichever powder charge of varget or imr 4064 your rifle likes best. I’ve had excellent results with both those powders.

    What would be the major difference ....

    I’ve always shot the 175 for the higher bc. The 168 is fine to 600 or 800 or something around there. Someone will likely chime in more familiar with the 168. A fairly local 1000 yard match range won’t allow 168 smk because they typically won’t stabilize out to 1000 yards.

    6.5 Creedmoor 142grn SMK H4350

    That depends on which day you ask my chronograph lol. I need to upgrade apparently. It’s consistent measuring extreme spread but temperature or light or something makes it read higher or lower by as much as 100 FPS from one day to he next. Dial up holds right with factory 140 eld match which...

    Barreled action ARC Nucleus vs. Kelby's Atlas Tactical

    Don’t think you could go wrong with either one. That being said I have an atlas and I really like it. Especially for the price I consider it a lot of bang for your buck

    Gunsmithing Opinions on MPA Chassis/Rifle build parts list

    Like the previous reply my mindset on mpa used to be they make funky/odd/different guns. Well after shooting one of their builds a buddy bought I was quite impressed. I think they have regrouped their company for the better these days. 3/8 moa Guarantee with a quality custom action for the...

    6.5 Creedmoor 142grn SMK H4350

    I was recently in the same boat and decided to test the 140 Eld and the 140 Berger hybrid. My rifle just flat likes the 140 eld. Test loads from 41-43 grains all under 5/8 moa at 100. Best consistent powder charge and chrono numbers led me to stick with 41.5 grains H4350 in a Hornady case...

    Curtis Custom Actions (Vector)

    I put about 20 rounds through a buddy’s axiom 6.5 creedmoor just a couple weeks ago. Very smooth. Also like the short 60 degree bolt throw. Very slick

    CLR for brake cleaner?

    I’ve heard several people say soaking in a mixture of water and Lemi shine household cleaner works good for cleaning muzzle brakes. I haven’t personally tried it but plan to...

    MPA barrels

    We are both using H4350. It’s hard to beat the 140 eld in these rifles. That’s what both of ours are throated for. You can load them closer to the lands and still fit in the mag. Mine shot under 5/8 moa with all charges from 41.5-43 but velocity es numbers were better around 41.5 and that’s...

    MPA barrels

    Both mine and my buddy’s mpa’s are Creedmoor’s throated for the 140 eld. I’ve never tried any lighter bullets because I like the bc of the 140’s. I’ve had great accuracy with the 140 eld and 140 Berger hybrid

    MPA barrels

    Also I like you was skeptical at first as all research and reviews mainly talk about their chassis. But after shooting my buddy’s I bit the bullet and bought one. Glad I did...no complaints
