NICETRY, Or anyone using the Alpha brass. What size bushing are you using?
I'm waiting for the barrel and picking up things for when I get it from PVA
NICETRY, earlier you posted you liked the RL26, except it carboned up badly
how did the 4831sc work out?
Here’s that rl 26 for you. https://recobstargetshop.com/product/rel-26-1-smokeless-magnum-rifle-powder/Might have to switch to 4831.... cannot find RL 26 anywhere on planet earth
.253 bushing works great for alpha 22 brass gets me .0015 tensionNICETRY, Or anyone using the Alpha brass. What size bushing are you using?

Thanks, I’ve played with both of those. Berger calculates out to need 1:7.5” for the 80eldm.
I see 1:8 guys shooting 80eldm fine. Thought about splitting the difference and going with the 1:7.7”
But then I could get the 1:7 and cover all bases.
I have a Mullerworks 7.5 twist I have been thinking about building a 22 Creedmoor or a 22-250 ai. Are die sets availiable yet for the 22 Creedmoor for a reasonable price. Example Forster or lee or Hornady?
Funny you asked, I just called Forster today ( I don't live that far away and bug them )
They said they plan on it "some" time this year. Hornady makes some, but I personally
wouldn't buy theirs. Whidden makes the only other ones I know, and a few people here
have said their quality has gone down some lately. I'm going to buy a Whidden custom FL
sizer and can use my Forster 6 creed micro seater.
Rechambering to 22 creed from 22-250ai and curious how close people may have found the data?
Some posted here looks well above the ackley's ability for having very close case capacity.
Lots of new testing going on. Do we need a sticky for ACTUAL, PROVEN load data/recipes?? If not "sticky" worthy, how about evreyone who has SOLID data post it here.
With everyone trying different unproven powders re; 4831, H-1000, IMR's new powder burning close to RL-26?
My new rifle should be ready may-June, I want to hit the ground running'
Thanks
That's what I did. Works fine.Anyone know if I can put a 22 seating stem in a 6.5 Creed Redding seater? Using a whidden seater currently with less than desirable results...
You will want a .252 bushing for Lapua brass. The .251 will serve you well for Hornady brass.I used a Redding 6.5 creedmoor bushing die and put a .251 bushing in it. Necked down alpha (the alpha was neck turned to .014) and lapua both, and both necked down just fine. However, test seated a bullet in both, and on the lapua i can see where the base of the bullet i sits in the neck, a "bulge' of sorts. I'm thinking i may need to step up to a .252 bushing with the lapua and see if that works. hoping to not have to neck turn.
Also in seating i used the standard 6mm creed seating die and it actually worked good, i was seating berger 70 grainers
I'm looking to do a side by side with H4350 and Hodgdon Hybrid 100v with 80gr bullets. Does anyone have any experience with the Hybrid 100v load range for the 80s? Will be using Lapua srp.
Thanks
0.257 NK OD is pretty standard. I run 95 smk at 2.775 so I had to use a uni-troater.
Barrel life is decent, around 1400 round in PRS condition. 1800 to 2000 if you take care of it.
Could be interesting but Alpha is already making them and their are alot more consistent.
It never ends!!Well crap, just went through this thread thinking I'd like to take a longer range lighter recoil rifle on a prairie dog shoot this summer. Looks to be perfect for those longer shots. So I ordered some Alpha brass. now i need a rifle, a scope, some dies and some bullets... grin
