Here is a little bit of the article

 

[phlegethon]

i also read in PRECISION RILE SHOOTER magazine that they have gotten good results with Winchester 6.5 Staball, 100-150 fps faster

I tried that initially but had excessive pressure. I think StaBALL is too slow burning for that case size.

 

[DairyDictator]

StaBall seems to work better for the heavies like the 115gr Nosler or DTAC

 

[BuLLet]

Using 107 SMK, which powders have has gotten good results. I have a bit of Varget left, plenty H4350 and Staball. I'm prepping up some cases now and want to load them up today.

All of them have had good results. I'd grab varget first, but if you have more 4350 that'll do just fine as well.

 

[BuLLet]

Got 2 8lb h4350s, maybe 8 1lb vargets...
On a gap cut chamber, using the h4350 any starting grains? Gonna use the hornady brass I first got. Have alpha now as well, but I'll start with hornady.

Thanks

I thought I saw a post on this thread using Shooters World Precision Rifle, but can’t find it now?

@BuLLet

from page 4, reference 105s

35 varget, 37 H4350

I'd start somewhere in the 33 gr range for varget and maybe in the 34 range for 4350.

Those are top end values, I would DEFINITELY NOT start there.

I know / shoot with a couple guys locally who feed their 6GT's a steady diet of 105's and StaBall and have excellent results.

Are any of you guys running SgtofArms rifles?

33 gr of varget is where i am at . Not going to move from there, I am at 2875 FPS average ,

What grain bullet

 

[mr.quick]

What grain bullet

105

 

[Kaveman44]

105

Just got 400 Berger hybrid 109’s and my rifle just showed up to my FFL yesterday!!!!!!!!! Gonna do a lot of testing

 

[mr.quick]

is it a 236 or 237 barrel

 

[Kaveman44]

Not sure, Brian Allen of A Team Precision did mine, I will ask

Don't do a lot of testing. Just pick a speed and shoot it. 6GT is extremely easy to load for. Spend your time shooting, not load developing.

That is why I am staying at33 gr.

 

[Kaveman44]

tlsmith22 Also got one from him and he liked it so much he ordered 2 more barrels

 

[Kaveman44]

Did you guys do any seating Depth testing, just a heads up this is my first PRS gun

 

[NiteQwill]

Personally, no.

That’s pretty misleading. I can’t speak for the other matches, but at the Pigg River match, there were only 3 gas gun shooters.

 

[BuLLet]

Hodgdon lists 34.1 as starting for H4350 and Sierra 107's, ending up going with 34.5 Grains to get a feel for the Gay Tiger!

COL 2.530, CCI 400 Primers, Hornady Brass

Are you sure? I would double check that data. 37.1 gr of H4350 has 109s going 3005 fps. 44.1 feels like it would spill out of the case.

 

[BuLLet]

Opps.. My bad... 34.5

Would have been impossible to get that much powder in that case!

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!

 

[mr.quick]

wow very nice trophies / plaques

 

[david walter]

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....

 

[BuLLet]

Some results of my first test load for the GT.

 

[mr.quick]

The Second picture has a much better group

 

[BuLLet]

200 yards vs 100 yards, it should be a better group.

Very good ,that is what I am looking for exactly that ,but in the 105’

 

[mr.quick]

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

 

[david walter]

308 base with a 6 PPC funnel

 

[mr.quick]

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.

.

308 base with a 6 PPC funnel

which one is it , or are they the same funnel?

 

[david walter]

The base is 308. The powder funnel is 6PPC.
There is no “6GT” conversion kit.

 

[mr.quick]

ok dillion xl750 with 308 conversion kit. for my 6 gt

 

[mr.quick]

Thank you guys that gave me your input on this. GREATLY appreciated, now the hard part come . WAITING FOR IT

just got it in !

 

[mr.quick]

There is no “6GT” conversion kit.

Would you happen to have a picture of how it looks , by any chance

 

[david walter]

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

 

[mr.quick]

I'll get some photos or video when I get home tonight.

Thank you very much

 

[david walter]

Birddog, that’s pretty cool.

my 550 is primitive by comparison.

 

[mr.quick]

Here you go. This is how mine is set up.

Wow impressive I am going to have to mimic that as much as possible

 

[Kaveman44]

Birddog that’s really bad ass! Stuff like this gets my mind going and that’s trouble for my bank account
