    .223/5.56 brass and FL sizing

    I had a bag of range brass that was given to me that had a mix of .223 and 5.56 brass various makes. I processed the brass and used a .223 Redding FL die to deprime and full size so my question is is that 5.56 brass now safe to shoot out of my Rem 700 SPS? I loaded it with 24 to 25 grains of...

    RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 questions

    I've seen it work magic on rifle loads but does anyone have any experience loading pistol loads? Since some of the charges are 4.0-4.7 how does it handle low amounts of powder? Does it automatically go into trickle mode? Just wondering how it handles the job.

    Odd looking rings at base of brass

    This is my 1st time doing full length resizing. This brass is from my 6.5 Creedmoor once fired factory ammo. I couldn't find a neck sizing die so I went with some Hornady dies since I was able to get some. Drove the ram all the way up tightened the die till it touched the shell holder. I don't...

    Reproducing Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor from printed recipe on box.

    My rifle really liked the factory 120s so I am going to stick with what works. Box says 39 grains of Varget Fed 210M C.O.L. 2.715" Has anyone tried the recipe printed on the box and had the same or pretty dam close results?

    1st time building a custom questions and ramblings.

    Rifle almost done As my build near complete I was thinking of leaving it at 27 inches and try it out like that before I cut anything off it. Once its gone there is no way of getting it back on is the way I see it. Anyone else run a 6.5 at 27 inches?

    6.5 Creedmoor brake recommendations

    What are you guys running on your 6.5CM builds. Did you buy one and then just the smith open it up or did you buy a over sized one and timed it and ran with that. -Z

I have a XLR chassis that this rifle will be going into so it will need to stay in the Remington 700 foot print. Plan is buy a basic no frills Rem 700 short action...
