    Berger 6.5 Hybrid Availability

    another good consideration. stuck on the hybrid and smk mostly because the building smith said those seemed to be favorite for these particular barrels

    Berger 6.5 Hybrid Availability

    I've run just shy of 2,500 6.5mm berger 140 hybrids through 2 different rigs and it seems every time I go to restock it's a couple of months wait to find them. I hate to change loads at this point in barrel life - but it seems the 142 SMK's are typically more available. I should have...

    What hand or bench priming system do you use?

    I also like the RCBS bench priming tool. Worth the little extra green unless you want to prime on the couch (don't do that!! I can't... adhd and all those ddddd things. must... always... be... the... same..!!!.)

    Suppressors AWC/Ruger Ultra II

    Digging up a dinosaur of thread - but curious if anyone has really tested out the accuracy of the integral AWC Ultra II in 77/22 platform? I've had mine for almost three years and really haven't put it through it's paces.... hoping to stretch it out to 200 soon.

    Runout Gauge - Anyone use one, and opinion on accuracy affect

    I agree with what jbell said... do it right, with correct equipment and there is no need to measure. But I also have triplebull's problem, I like shinny toys and measuring things lol. Recently purchased 21st Century's cool runout gauge with the fancy wheel. I was bored with it in 15 minutes...

    6 dasher brass forming

    Carry on if you're a seasoned BRer, but if you're new... here is my advice: Do you have a BR crowd you shoot with? Or have you asked the smith who built the gun? (assuming you didn't put it together yourself). If you're just getting into the BR crowd, best advice I can give you is to meet...

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    Might be a matter of picking my poison. Camfer and Debur each firing with SS tumble (as i've been doing for awhile) or clean primer holes with vibrator and rice. The factor i'm left with is the carbon residue on inside of necks. A small factor in chasing that sub 1/2 MOA performance. I have...

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    Great question. I guess "super shinny, like new" brass sells to the masses. I'm giving rice serious consideration. Orkan - do you clean up your primer pockets further after rice vibrating? I'm just assuming it doesn't get them as clean as SS. Quit possibly another example of diminishing returns

    Looking into a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins - advice welcomed

    This is some interesting stuff. I like me clean primer pockets... but I'll be giving this further consideration. I can see the login in loosing the carbon inside the necks, also it's a pain to camfer/debur after each firing

    When do you anneal?

    This all make perfect sense. There is definitely part of me that wants to try things without the expander ball and do a before and after sample of runout. Could you tell me a bit more about your turning mandrel process? Thanks

    When do you anneal?

    Very true. The thinker in me has difficulty leaving something alone that already works.

    When do you anneal?

    Eh maybe i'm hijacking the thread a wee bit but this caught my attention. The ol' expander ball question. I use an expander ball in the redding type S but have often wondered if it defeats the purpose of a neck bushing. I've read the full wammy on this one, and am aware some folks order...

    Electronic Scale

    Last thing I can add, if you're dropping the $... the A&D with Adam's Autotrickler is significantly faster and more accurate than the CM when using powder scoops and your workflow is setup correctly. The best tweaked/strawed CM will still need 115ish throws to load 100 cartridges. I have a...

    Do I spend my money on new match barrel or reloading

    Hands down - Invest in reloading. And continue to develop your trigger skills. Pretty sure after having and doing both for awhile now... my finger still isn't 1/2 moa

    Alpha Munitions VS Lapua?

    44.1? dang man... I was getting some serious bolt lift at 42.8. The 42.8 shot was 2879 fps mv. 140 gr hybrid, 26" barlein heavy

    Alpha Munitions VS Lapua?

    I'm giving Alpha a try - it is extremely consistent out of the box. Enough so - that I didn't bother turning the necks. I'm not far enough in with it to speak to it's durability just yet. My converted lapua 308 has 4 firings and I've noticed the primer pockets are getting loose. (2) were...
