    RL-16 temp stable?

    I shot it again yesterday and it was almost identical but while I was there, I had some loaded with H 4350 started at 37 grains because my chambers tight and ran all the way to 40 gr and in half gr increments. I was getting close on pressure at 40 grains, but it did throw a group of three at...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I’ve never seen this. Either only thing I can think of is, I opened a new bottle, but the lot was the same. Maybe I did something that I didn’t know that I did but that’s pretty rough to deal with 75 feet a second when it’s already slow at 2525 of...

They were all once fired all of them full length sized then neck sized with Redding bushing dies. all of ultrasonic cleaned then corn cob, same primer, same bullet same seating depth to my knowledge they were identical, but they were dang sure...

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’m shooting it in a short barrel 6.5 Creedmoor and I was getting 2525 back during the summer and I shot it this afternoon and it shot 2450. The SD is right where it always was. It just slowed way down.

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’m not sure why but I was under the impression that reloader 16 was temp stable. I’m shooting it in a 6.5 Creedmoor and I lost 75 FPS from 100°F to 55°F today. I know that even the temp stable powders lose a little bit, but in my opinion, that’s pretty drastic what say ye sniper hide?

    Replicate Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain BTHP

    I too am looking for what powder is in this ammo. I pulled a few of the bullets to weigh the powder and every one of em is 41.5gr. It looks like H4350 or RL16 but not exactly, its a little lighter in color (not much) but it is close. 4451 & IMR 4530 are very dark in color compared to this...

    I don’t have a scope that has hash marks or anything in it. Everything I own except the one that I ordered yesterday has just a simple cross hair so that wisenheimer that was busting my chops over a ruler was just a troll. He doesn’t even know what I have. the one with the “ Marks” hasn’t even...

    Yes that is what should show up in a few days. It will be the only scope I have like that. I’m looking forward to learning to use it. Lots to learn for me.

    You’re the kind of guy that gives asshole trolls a good name. You’re not even part of the discussion and the best part about this site is you can block members that are jerkoffs like you. Too bad you’re not as smart as you think you are because there’s not a ruler inside of my scope. It only has...

    What’s the art behind hunting rifle accuracy

    In reply to the original post. I stopped shooting those cigarette barrel rifles and magnum calibers. I had a 28 Nosler with a cigarette barrel and it was worthless after the second or third shot like you’re talking about the recoil was horrendous. I sold that gun to some guy going on a bear hunt...

    Do I need to change this from 1.000 to 1.047 because on my calculator it gives me my drop in inches and then I can select the second column and I’ve got it set to 1 centimeter/100m you can see it in the picture above.

    I guess you lost me there if I’m gonna shoot 200 yard and my scope is shot in at 100 and my dope sheet says that I’m gonna be a half inch low then I know I need to raise my scope a half inch which is gonna be two clicks on the knob to me that is super simple whereas in mill it would be something...

    I will say this at least you guys are a little more open minded than that other guy telling me that I’m an idiot because I don’t use MIL lol that’s why they make Ford, Dodge and Chevy because everybody wants something a little different. What kind of world would this be if we all had to drive...

    I’ve got both Mil and MOA scopes in my VX5HDs that I have to me the math is easier on MOA when everything’s broken into 100 yard increments I know in inches a minute and that minute has four increments inside of it to me that don’t get much easier. I’ve never been a fan of the metric system so a...

    I see your point nobody’s ever done any real shooting MOA for the last I don’t know hundred years. I guess that’s why the gun manufacturers always advertised her guns to be less than one minute of an angle or half MOA guarantee. Maybe you should reach out to them and tell them they need to start...
