    Neck Tension Inconsistencies on Lapua 6.5CM Brass

    I’ll be honest, I don’t use a force gauge or an arbor press. While feel is not an exact science, I do believe the target and numbers from the chrono. The process I use with Lapua brass is to AMP anneal, clean the outside of the case neck with steel wool and wipe the entire case clean. I size...

    Neck Tension Inconsistencies on Lapua 6.5CM Brass

    Isolate the problem; start with sizing a few and measuring the outside of the necks. Also, change only 1 thing at a time to find the problem

    Which thing made the biggest difference?

    After doing research on what powder and bullets others are having success with for your chosen caliber, use a load development method you have confidence in and then choosing a load based on the results you get not on the results you want.

    Making sense of Zero and dialing

    All the above. Most of the time when a shooter’s solutions seem wonky, first thing I have them look at is BC value and designation. Using G1 numbers with a G7 designation will give you some jacked up numbers and visa-versa

    One-Mile Success

    Our target is at 1848 yards. My rifle is a Bighorn action with a 40MOA base and Vortex Gen2 Razor wearing a 26" Mueller barrel with a 1:7 twist. Bullet is a Hornady 75 grain ELD-M over 24.1 grains of Varget going at 2920 fps. Fortunately we shoot in the mountains where the DA is usually between...

    Ingenuity Precision trickler

    I’ve kept it simple. I use the V3 board to allow use of the app but do my drops with a RCBS Uniflow with micrometer stem and finish with the IP trickler. While a power drop would be nice, I'm willing to wait until Paul is satisfied that his product will perform to his standards. The last thing I...

    spotting misses

    Several years ago I started putting on matches at our local club and one of the hard fast rules I have in place is “ no coaching”. This means no calling corrections or making wind calls for other shooters. It is a “tough-love” approach but it helped shooters learn to spot their own shots and...

    AutoTrickler V4

    To be honest, there has not been a true “plug and play” unit that works for all. The Chargemaster was close but if you wanted faster times with minimal overthrows, you needed an insert and a program tweek. The AutoTricklers, all generations, have needed an adjustment or two, tilt and/or slide...

    AutoTrickler V4

    Too many users are of the “plug and play” mindset. The V4 app has the ability to allow the user to tailor their loads their speed vs accuracy needs. The first edition of the app was more difficult to “tune” and users were having to greatly reduce their speeds to avoid overthrows and had to fuss...

    Ingenuity Precision trickler

    Paul, Thank you for your post and explanation. It seems that with age comes patience; youth tend to want immediate gratification. I posted in this thread that “it gets here when it gets here” and stand by that statement. Too many seem to forget about products which require mods/updates to get...

    Tips For Getting Rounds on Target With A New Rifle / Shooter

    Bore sight and get on paper at 25 or 50 yards. Make adjustments until you are zeroed and then go to 50 or 100 yards. If you’re zeroed and on paper at the closer distances, you’ll be on paper at 100 and able to make the necessary adjustments to obtain a good zero. Another option for new shooters...

    Best round that is cost effective to reload

    The 6.5 Creedmoor is probably your best choice based on the parameter of wanting something that will get you to 1000 yards. Will the smaller calibers mentioned get there…yes BUT, your shooting location and ground conditions at the target need to be heavily considered. Soil in the target area...

    AMP really worth the extra $$$$$$

    I did some testing, albeit they were small sample sizes, between an Annealeze, Bench Source and AMP and could not see any difference on the target or numbers, i.e. ES or SD, between the samples. Convenience comes at a cost. The AMP is expensive, easy to set up but is a single feed device...

    Question about twist rates and twist rate calculators

    If the rifle/bullet shoot well at the maximum yardage I want to shoot, I will use that load and calibrate the BC to match my dialed elevation AFTER I’ve calibrated by muzzle velocity out to 600-700 yards. Then I will calibrate the BC at 1000-1200 yards until numbers line up. Unfortunately many...

    Zero press versus Redding T-7 turret.

    The Zero offers a couple of options not available with the T-7 but…as far as the ability to load quality ammo, both will do the job well. Is the Zero worth the extra cost, depends whether you need, value and are willing to pay for the additional options. Personally, I loaded on a T-7 for...
