    6.5 Creedmoor

    Any EU based users who have experience reloading with Hornady ECX140gr bullets? Having problems through multiple loads to get consistent results (having 2-8MOA groups for 5 shots). Have tried 2 powders (VV N150 and N555), two primers, 3-4 different seating depths from 0.010" to 0.160" or so. All...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Please advise if this is normal for primers to look like this (heightened edges like it is popping out?). I previously used CCI200 with "normal" signs but no more local availability. Exactly the same very mild load of VV N150 36gr with ELDX 143gr, RWS 5341 standard LR primer @ 2.860 COAL...

VV reloading data show max load for this setup to be 34.4gr (2500FPS out of 25,5" barrel). I have a Bergara with a 20" barrel...

    Can anyone explain how barrel length effects powder choise? I have a 20" Bergara 6.5CM that I would like to start reloading with Berger or Hornady 140gr-144gr-147gr different bullets, that is on the heavy side. I have found many suggestions on RS62 powder (for better barrel life), but also RS60...

    Training ideas for sharpshooter classes, other than shooting

    Okay guys, got some great ideas like mirage estimation and unusual position shooting. It will be a hot weekend so these will fit well. I will leave in about 8 hours, so some good ideas are still welcome! B.
