    Redding die problem, can I salvage the brass?

    As a couple here have said, those cases in the first picture don't even look the same. OP, you are sure the die is what you think it is, and it hasn't been modified? .050 is a lot of bump, and the angle looks off.

    Bergara Premier Series Bolt in a Standard HMR?

    The gas shield adds one more layer of safety between that hopefully controlled explosion and your eyes. Kind of hard to line up that 500 yard shot by touch. When I say my original bolt cratered everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Factory, my reloads, anything I put in it. I think the issue was...

    Bergara Premier Series Bolt in a Standard HMR?

    In my case, the small FP was what I needed. Others have said the bolt fluting was an advantage in dusty conditions. There may (or may not) be others I don't know about.

    Bergara Premier Series Bolt in a Standard HMR?

    In my case, the Premier has a small firing pin. The large pin in the stock B14 bolt cratered everything, and pierced small primer Lapua brass. I believe the fluting has some advantages if you shoot in dusty environments. That's not a problem in SE Georgia. Avoiding rust and mildew is a...

    Closing on GO, not closing on No-Go indicates the headspace is correct.

    Bergara barrel change

    I believe I saw a thread where Chad said LRI had done Bergara replacements. I hope that's right, I have a shot out 65CM that I want to rebarrel with a 6GT.

    New rifle, tight chamber

    Bolt gun, Arc Archimedes action, the brass was shot in my other, shot out Creed. It was full length sized, and is .003 larger at the base than factory Berger.

    New rifle, tight chamber

    I have a new 6.5 CM that appears to have a very tight chamber. My reloaded Lapua is difficult to chamber, but will go with more effort than it should take. My FL sized brass (Redding dies) measures .003 over new Berger at the base. Will a RCBS small base die size the fired brass down enough to...

    Bergara Premier Series Bolt in a Standard HMR?

    I swapped the bolt from my B14 for a Primier bolt to get the small firing pin. Dropped right in, no problems.

    Range Report 6GT Project/Range Report

    Could you elaborate about the issues you are having resizing 6GT cases. I want to rebarrel a shot out 65CM with a GT, I'm getting reloading bits together a little at a time, so should I stay away from RCBS dies? They are generally pretty good.

    Bolt fluting

    Here's another option. Buy the Premier bolt from Bergara and take care of both issues. I have a B14 BMP that was piercing SRP. I wanted to buy a bare bolt and have it brushed, but they don't sell them that way. A complete Premier bolt comes fluted with a small FP for about $300. It dropped...

    Shot Show 2020 Thread!!!

    Didn't I see a thread about the TT 2 stage at the 2019 Shot show? Seems like it was 2 months out then, but I might not remember that right. Bunch of stuff I don't remember right these days.

    Range Report 6GT Project/Range Report

    I find myself with a spare action and chassis that seem to be crying for a 6GT. Does a 26 or 28 inch, 1in 7.5 twist sound about right for 108 to 112 Bergers? Bench gun only, not going to be carried further than car to bench.

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this barrel?

    Yep.. Went from the gun outshooting me to me out shooting the gun within a hundred rounds or so. Has gotten steadily worse. Smith called today, new gun is ready, just in time.

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this barrel?

    Not waiting long enough I guess. This barrel went from .5 moa to 1 moa within a hundred rounds or so.
