What does that number mean?
Part number or sku. The same number was on all 25 boxes I had.What does that number mean?
All loaded up with 30.2gr Varget 0.01" off using KM Arbor and L.E. Wilson inline chamber Micrometer seating die with their optional VLD seating stem..
Length is dead on consistent round to round measuring base to ogive...
Heading to the range here shortly to shoot them in my 28" Bartlein 1-7.5 6BR.
padom,
I see a chamber seating die, $82, and I see a micrometer seating die, $140, but I do not see a chamber micrometer seating die.
Which one is it?
Get it direct from LE WilsonOut of stock in 6GT, but thank you.
kindabitey,Get it direct from LE Wilson
I use the LE Wilson Chamber Micrometer Seating Dies for all my calibers now. They are just plain awesome. Remember, these are for an arbor press. Here you go. Just select your caliber from the list

Yes, its the exact same thing. Just different wording. I just order from Midway or other places because they tend to be $40-$50 cheaper..kindabitey,
So that is the same thing as the "chamber type?"
Ah! Ok, thank you!Yes, its the exact same thing. Just different wording. I just order from Midway or other places because they tend to be $40-$50 cheaper..
even if one has to cull 1/3 of them
Wow, I hope that's not what I will have to do!
Earlier in the thread guys were finding them consistent and shooting them with great precision.
Odd.I will add the PV lot was roughly .010 longer than the MS lot.
I loaded 300 yesterday and then put on a new barrel today, decided these A-Tips are all this new barrel will see...
These are rounds #4, then 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (5-shot group) through it today.
I showed up while the range was hot, so I put 3 rounds on a big 6' x 6' plate seeing if I could get it close before the range went cold and I could put up a target.
After putting a target up I sent 1 round into the top dot to see how close I was to having it zeroed... I stopped, looked at it, and decided it was close enough to where before adjusting anything I should send another, then another, then another, etc.
I'm kind of shocked. I wish I'd bought more.

Load data and jump?
Alpha case ("Gay Tiger" headstamp), trim length 1.710", CCI450, 33gn Shooters World Precision Rifle, 1.965" BTO (jumping ~.010" I think, I haven't measured the distance to the lands yet, and not sure I care anymore lol).
I generally don't even think about MV/SD/ES numbers until after ~150 rounds down the pipe, but FWIW, I couldn't resist putting 3 rounds over a buddy's Xero (somewhere between rounds ~#30-60) and the MV was 2844/2849/2851fps, SD 5.8.
It's still speeding up, but ~2850fps is right where I'd like to be.
His speed is right where I'm running my 6GT. In a 26" barrel.What's your barrel length on the 6GT? Seems slow.
I'm 2872 with these, 30.2gr Varget out of my 28" Bartlein 6BR.

PV can keep them at that price!I see they have shown back up at powder valley. They sure aren’t priced like seconds though. Might as well just call them a-tips and publish specs at this price.

I mean this is kinda what has driven prices of powder to near double in 5 years, primers too. Brass and bullets only up 30-40% but this whole game has gotten a LOT more expensive on the hand loading side since the Chyna vyrus plandemic.Demand was too high last time and they sold too fast, better bump that price up! You guys shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag!
They crazy. Likely will sell very few here at this price. Which is what the greedy fucks deserve.Ya sign me up for hornady 2nds priced 20% higher than Berger’s
“Seconds”… but not $84. Not $24 either..Hornady 110 A-Tips, not seconds, $73.99 at EuroOptic, but not in stock, so . . .
