    Sierra 1500 or Ford F-150

    I bought a 2014 Sierra brand new. After 5.5 years and 120k, I love it. I haven’t had any issues. It gets 21-23mpg hwy all day long. I think the GMC looks way better than the Fords or Chevys. I’m thinking about a new truck possibly, but might go F-250. I want bigger and the GMC HD’s are stupid...

    Using Short Brass in 6.5CM

    Any Smith can make you one from the bit of barrel they cut off the blank at the muzzle and the reamer used for your chamber. The biggest benefit is it is made with the exact same reamer.

    Using Short Brass in 6.5CM

    This. The previous user already screwed up and trimmed them too short. What else did they screw up?

    Dialing vs hold over

    I dial all single targets. Depending on the stage and whether I want to be messing with knobs, I may just hold over. My time may be better spent on a difficult transition or building a position If you don’t have complete faith in your optic, just remember the reticle is ALWAYS right even if...

    Cleaning Off Lube Using A Progressive Press

    Wiping down loaded rounds is certainly an option. I’ve had to wipe down some small batches of loaded rounds that needed it and found it tedious. YMMV I use a rotary tumbler rather than vibratory. Lube is off the cases in about 1.5hrs with clean media. I process in large batches, so I have other...

    Hornady, Alpha, Peterson, or Starline brass for hunting 6 Creed?

    I’ve never seen new brass that couldn’t use a chamfer. Shipping and handling typically bangs up the necks anyway. Some can be loaded initially without a chamfer and some can’t. I’ve used Hornady, Alpha, and Petersen in calibers other than 6 Creed. I have not used Starline, but they are now...

    Cleaning Off Lube Using A Progressive Press

    The once fired processed is mostly Lake City and there are several sellers. I think I used Rocky’s last time. You will get some SAW fired brass and I had some cases separate on the first and only loading, so I stopped using it for matches that matter. It’s cheap and plentiful though. The Wolf...

    Cleaning Off Lube Using A Progressive Press

    Some have done it and reported no ill effect. Others claim tumbling can change the characteristics of the powder. Kernel size and coatings are engineered for certain characteristics. It’s enough of a potential variable that I avoid it. It’s not that big of a deal to clean the cases as they...

    Light fill in a sticky Gamechanger

    I’m curious if anyone has used lightweight fill in a sticky Gamechanger and if it changed it’s performance. I have an OG Gamechanger that I put Git-lite fill in and I really liked the performance and weight savings. I also really really like the sticky Gamechanger, but it’s a bit heavy with...

    One Shot lube sucks, and I’ve used at least a case of it. Homemade alcohol and lanolin is way better. I use my 650 as a two stage process with rifle cases with some manual steps also. Anneal Size and decap Clean Trim on the giraud Bench prime RCBS tool Back to the Dillion to charge and seat...

    Best 6mm cartridge*

    Rob, I can’t say for sure what year the 6xc was developed, but here are a couple screenshots of an old article on 6mmBR.com. There’s no date, but I’m pretty sure it coincided with the introduction of the rifle in 2000. Also here is a link to a 2001 article by Zediker and Tubb about T2k...

    Best 6mm cartridge*

    My point was that that the .243 was too long for the SR25 mags, which were the only detachable, .308 based box magazines at the time (excluding M14 mags). This is a big reason for the development of the 6xc. I could be wrong, but I think expected barrel life was also a concern. There’s still...
