There's no competition in the Gas Gun division.
I just ran my match this past weekend, a PRS Pro Series Qualifier. I had multiples in every Classification and Division, but not a single Gas Gun shooter. Wasted $200 on the trophy..

Too bad I already had plans of I would have brought my 223 out to win that trophy!

No kidding!
My trophies were bad ass! Hated seeing one go to waste. Morgun King took home the win. That guy is on a whole 'nother level right now.
I don’t know shit about PRS gas guns. I know a few guys back east running their rifles and liking them.
I was really asking if anyone else is running a SgtofArms gasser, and how they like it.

You'd probably have better luck posting in the semi auto section.
I can't imagine the 6GT being a popular gasser round....
Ok guys I need you guys help,I am getting a dillion xl 750, my question is this, which conversion kit does the GT use. Scheels only has for 306, 223, 6.5 creed. I spoke to Scheels and they said that it looks like it will use the 6ppc, but they weren't positive . So if any one out there has this kit. Please let me know, which one it is.
Thanks
Thanks
Straight up .308 everything.
Conversion kit, case feeder plate... everything.
Edit; Except for the powder funnel as noted by the poster below. I use my 6 Creedmoor powder funnel.
The base is 308. The powder funnel is 6PPC.
There is no “6GT” conversion kit.

Thank you guys that gave me your input on this. GREATLY appreciated, now the hard part come . WAITING FOR IT
I have 550 RL.
it looks like any other Dillon set up.
Use the 308 base for the case head, drop the PPC funnel in the powder die and adjust the die to fully dispense when the ram is up.
I’m not sure how this could be remotely complicated.

Well have never owed one ,so that is why I am asking questions and try to get all the information I can possibly get
Wow impressive I am going to have to mimic that as much as possible
Haha, I feel ya.. it all didn't come cheap.
And its been a long evolution to reach this point. It took about a year to really work out the wrinkles on creating a fast, quality reloading system for precision rifle.
I had most of what I needed on this loader as I've 3 gunned for years. Ran many thousands of 223 and 9mm through this thing. It became a simple matter of setting up differing tool heads and eliminating slop in some moving parts.
What I really enjoy is being able to load about 800 rounds an hour for my 223 Ackley that I use as my trainer. I just bulk load it about 2000 rounds at a time. With the bulk Hornady 75gr BTHP, I'm only into those rounds for about .18 cents apiece.
Were you finding too much variance in the Dillon powder drop and you are using the CMs to drop each charge, one by one, or was there another / different reason.
Yes, there's to much inconsistency with the powder drop. That powder device works by volume, not weight. So some powders work pretty good, specifically, small ball powders. And other powders such as stick or extruded are super inconsistent.
I use XBR8208 for my 223 Ackley, and it works great. Its off by .1 of a grain or less whenever there's an error. I can live with that for that particular rifle. Start loading different powders and expecting it to be dead nuts accurate and it won't happen.
So yes, I individually charge every case from powder dispensed by the Chargemasters. Thats why I needed three of them to keep up

I run 308 and 223 on my Dillon without issue.
Understandably, I'm also in a node thats pretty wide and forgiving on both calibers.
I also haven't tooled up for 6cm 6.5cm, or now 6gt for my Dillon. Mostly handfin calibers and the two rifles. Handload only one by one otherwise for other rifles. Much like you, duling charge masters.
Thanks for the info.
I also have loaded a lot of 308 through mine with the Dillon powder measure. I ran H335 for years and it worked great. Ramshot Tac was also very good. RL15 not so much.
Its very dependant on powder type.
One won't keep up. I tried. Gotta have two at minimum.
By the time you get all the whistles and bells, you're in to them for over $2k. I'm in to my Chargemasters for about $650.
V4 is supposed to be remarkably faster than 3. Still don't know if it keeps up.
2 CM's don't keep up with me on a single stage. 3 probably would.
That’s not what he’s saying on the website. He’s saying the V4 will take the same time, 10-15 seconds per charge.
Did you watch the demo live? Adam was dropping 230 gr of powder in less than 6 seconds. It is SIGNIFICANTLY faster.
AutoTrickler V4
AutoTrickler V4 Since the original AutoTrickler was invented in 2016, it has become the go-to solution for long range shooters who need to measure accurate powder charges quickly. While the core concept of precisely dispensing onto a lab quality balance has never changed, the mechanical design...
autotrickler.com
“A smaller tube then completes the charge within a kernel in roughly the same overall time as V3.”
“AutoTrickler V3…does the same thing - measure powder charges to the kernel in 10 to 15 seconds.”
Again, the video shows real life results and Adam explains this.
My ATV3 drops 36.5 gr of Varget in 5 seconds... Consistently.

The pair I played with were fast, but not that fast.
10 to 15 seconds was the norm on the 6BRA we were loading.
I believe you to be an honest person. I believe you. Thats your experience with your device.
My experience helping a good friend load for his BRA and playing with his new V3s is 10 to 15 seconds. We were timing them specifically to see if one V3 could replace my three Chargemasters.
Seems like an awfully long time for an ATV3. ELR shooters are dropping 80 gr of H1000 in sub 5 seconds with the optimum setup. I suggest your friend contact Adam to figure it out
This is 37.6 gr of H4350 into 6GT without any fiddling (approximately 7.5 seconds). After this video, I adjusted the slider and knob to drop in 5 seconds.

Haven't seen much info about the factory Prime 6GT/115 RDF load. I bought 2 cases of it to get me started.
Just recently got this thing put together and gave it a try.
I'm happy with it. Still looking forward to rolling my own.
Chrono numbers are #23-25 new barrel so it may speed up, but damn it's pretty close to what I expected per the box & new barrel.

You should probably sell it to me then
Mine seems to like it.26" 7.5T Rock Creek cut rifle by PVA. Not sure what reamer PVA uses?
Same here. Shot mediocre at best seated back too. Makes me think they built it for the .190 freebore reamer.
Bartlein 7.5t chambered by them with .120 reamer
Curious if you 2 have the same lot number I have?
Bought mine in the last prime group buy Sept 2020 & lot # is pictured above.
Quick check across 10 & COAL is 2.544 & definitely not jammed in mine. Not sure what my free bore is & I don't have any loose RDF's. Currently only have Berger 105's.
