    Help with new rifle $3k budget.

    Update finally. I went with a MPA VanquishAndR 6.5cm. I ordered it Dec. 1 2024. They said it would be 4 months to build. I got the rifle delivered pretty much right at 16 weeks. Took me a week to pick up and another month to get scope, rings and ammo. Been busy with work and practicing mostly...

    What is the next step to go from reloading to precision reloading?

    Thanks I'll try the simple steps 1st. I do not have a mandrel die or any inline dies. Asked a few time no one mentioned which exact type. I've only used FL, SB and neck size dies. .3 to me means .399" or smaller at 100 under ideal conditions. I think the bench rest crowd do better than that at...

    What is the next step to go from reloading to precision reloading?

    I'm using an rcbs charge master. I'm not sure if I'm getting this right. I can use my sizer without the expander. Use a expander mandrel instead? Then an inline seat die. Berger 140 and alpha brass sound about right?

    What is the next step to go from reloading to precision reloading?

    Could someone link me the exact S die set I need? It will be for a 6.5CM. Also which Berger is the most popular in the 6.5?

    What is the next step to go from reloading to precision reloading?

    So I have been loading ammo for 30 years, mostly pistol. I can get my better rifles to shoot in the .6-.7" for 5 shots. Sometimes I hit the .5-.4" range but not common. I use standard hornady or RCBS dies, factory brass like federal or hornady. I use hornady and Sierra bullets, I weighed my...

    Do they shoot like that when they get hot? Like after 10-15 rounds?

    Help with new rifle $3k budget.

    Thank you everyone for your time and knowledge. I won't shoot factory ammo that much but I want it to be available. I would likely get about 10 boxes to start so I could get a benchmark for accuracy, consistency, dope and brass. I have a 6.8, 357max and a few other odd balls. Sometimes I just...

    Help with new rifle $3k budget.

    Thanks for the info. Looks like the Origin action fits the bill for quality rep and price. The CDG would be a consideration if it was $1000. The 6arc looks interesting but I think that cartridge will die off like the 6.8spc, 22 nos, 224val. 6gt seems to be the best choice for me based on my...

    Help with new rifle $3k budget.

    I just sold my custom 6.5cm built ~2016. I didn't want to sell it but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. I don't know what's great these days in precision rifle. So I can spend a max $3000 for rifle, stock/chassis, dies and tools if needed. I kept my Razor 4x27, badger mount and rings. I do...
