    75 ELD-M in a 8 twist

    No, it's a well known fact that the 75s can't be loaded to mag length. I single load them when I'm shooting them.

    75 ELD-M in a 8 twist

    Just measured 3-4 of them and they were all 1.1180", I shoot them out of a 24" 1:8 AR-15 and they work great, very accurate.

    Is Neck Turning Worth It?

    The only reason that I neck turn is because I convert LC LR brass to 6.5 Creedmoor for my AR-10 and I convert Lapua 308 Palma to 6 XC for my bolt action. If it weren't for that I definitely wouldn't neck turn and as it is I only do it once per piece of brass and that's it for the life of that piece.

    WTB 6xc brass

    I dont consider a hobby to be work, I enjoy reloading and the experimentation almost as much as I enjoy shooting so the time spent is more than worth it and at the end of the day I'm making better brass than I can buy. Also, I'm using Lapua 308 Palma brass, can't get that from Norma. I don't...

    WTB 6xc brass

    There's nothing wrong with the price on the brass, it's $89/100 which is the best deal running but $20 for shipping is not a good deal when they could throw 100-200 in a small flat rate box for $7.15 to anywhere in the country. As for whether or not there are free lunches, I would disagree...

    Min and Max load for 139 Senars in a 6.5cm

    You won't find any (good) concrete data for H4350, almost every source of published data is very conservative and most everyone exceeds said data by 1-2gr which is why you see a ton of fluctuations when people talk about the load that they are using. Working up from 41-43.5 would be an excellent...

    WTS: 580 Berger 6mm 105gr Hybrid

    As the title states, I have 580 of the 105gr Hybrid (500 same lot, 80 different lot). I bought them to try out in my 6 XC but I've found that it really likes the 105gr RDF so I'm going to put these back up for sale. $185 shipped tyd ($0.32/ea) SOLD! Venmo, Square Cash or USPS MO only No...

    Stupid varget 308 question...

    As a side note for you about Varget, my goto load when I still had a 308 was 45.1gr Varget with a 175gr SMK. Hornady's published loads are quite conservative which is why I usually go off of what Hodgdon's load data says. So you problem have quite a ways to go before you hit pressure signs...

    Return on investment

    For myself, I didn't get into reloading to save money, I got into reloading to make the very best ammo for my specific rifle(s) and it just so happens that I'm able to do that cheaper than factory match ammo cost. It may not be necessary to do all the prep that I do however it is peace of mind...

    Fs: 939 Nosler 105 RDF drop to $220!!

    Any interest in trades? I have 580 Berger 105gr Hybrid that I'm getting ready to list for sale.

    WTB 6xc brass

    True, for me its not worth it. For $1.10+/ea I don't feel they last long enough to justify their price tag which is why I started buying and converting 308 Lapua brass for $0.67/ea and it lasts longer and holds up under higher pressures better than the Norma brass.

    Question about neck turning 6.5 Creedmoor

    Unfortunately there's going to be some variation until after the first firing and I can properly trim them to a uniform length. I'm using the Sinclair neck thickness gage, those 3 are all at 0.0145" on the dot. I did not anneal the cases before I formed them so after I anneal them I suspect the...

    Question about neck turning 6.5 Creedmoor

    Heres 3 that I neck turned tonight, I did find out that I have a small donut though I'm able to push through it on the turning mandrel. I suspect once I anneal and use my carbide mandrel to set neck tension it should push it out. Anyways, how do these cases look? Unfortunately I only have a 30...

    Question about neck turning 6.5 Creedmoor

    I actually haven't done any neck turning at all, I bought the lathe solely to form 6.5 Creedmoor and 6mm XC brass from 308 brass as there aren't very many good options available for either. (Lapua is too expensive for an AR-10 and I haven't been impressed with Norma 6 XC brass for $1.15/ea)...

    WTB 6xc brass

    The only problem with that is the shipping is like $18 (at least for me on the east coast), so unless you're buying a substantial amount of brass it's not really worth it.

    Question about neck turning 6.5 Creedmoor

    You think they'll shrink that much? They're pretty tight to chamber. I do have to trim them to a uniform length in order to neck turn, hopefully 1.915" will cover all of them as I think a couple ended up around 1.912" due to getting cut a little short initially. On the plus side I got the...

    need help!

    If it's 1 out of 5 like you say, have you ruled out the shooter as the cause of the larger groups?

    PSA - Hornady 6.5CM reloading brass primer pockets

    42.5gr H4350 w/ 140gr AMAX is a pretty hot load, maybe not on the ragged edge but it is 1.6gr over Hornady's published max, I've had 5 6.5 Creedmoor barrels at this point and by 42.5gr primers are starting to flatten and ejector marks are showing up. Obviously all barrels are different but if I...

    Anyone shooting the 147 ELD-M

    I have 300 of them that I bought as soon as Midway got them in stock, I've been having such great luck with the 140gr that I haven't actually shot any of them. Not sure if I'm going to ever get to it, might just sell them.
