    Reloder 25 with 6.5 Creedmoor

    So Reloder 26, H 4350 and Reloder 16 seem to be non existent at the moment, but I have a bunch of Reloder 25. I plan to give that a go. Anyone have any load data? I am nearly certain that checking my manuals will yield no results. Otherwise I will start my data around the same place I started...

    ElDX seating depth test.

    So I finally narrowed down my powder charge for this bullet with Reloder 16 in my Savage Tactical rifle. So I decided to do a seating depth test. I started at the lands, then .045" off, then .080" off and finished with .120 off. What I found was that the .080" load definitely shot better than...

    Press flex

    I have used a RCBS Rock Chucker for years. I have never had a problem with inconsistently sized cases. It has been excellent really. So Recently I decided to buy a Lee Challenger aluminum press. I found it new in the box although it is over a decade old. What I have found over the last couple...

    Franchi Momentum Hornady Interlock

    Been playing with this rifles and these bullets trying to find a good load. I can not get them to shoot less than 1.5" throughout the load ranges with Reloder 16. A powder that shoots very well with my other 6.5 creedmoor rifles. Velocity is lower by almost 100 fps compared to my Savage with...

    Replacement stock for Franchi Momentum

    Does anyone here know of anyone who makes a replacement stock for this rifle with an adjustable comb? I like the rifle, but to fit a 44 mm objective on that really long action. I had to use extra high rings. The drop at the comb is such on that rifle that when I get a good cheek weld I am...

    Reloder 16 6.5 creedmoor 140 SMK update.

    So I went to the range today and tested the same load that seemed to work so well a few days ago. This time instead of the 5 times fired cases I used once fired cases. Not all of these cases were fired in this rifle. I found that with the same die setting the shoulder was set back several...

    Hmmm, To Shoot Or Not To Shoot?

    Well I was going to go to the range and test some loads I made..... Wind is blowing pretty well sustained at 20-30 MPH here right now. I am probably gonna go shoot anyway, but what do you all think? I still have 2 hours before I get off work

    140 SMK and Reloder 16

    140 SMK and Reloder 16 load test update. So I picked up some 6.5 mm 140 grain SMK bullets yesterday and some Reloder 16 for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I plan to compare consistency between reloder 16 and 26. So I guess my question to you all is. If you have used these two components (the SMK, and...

    Horizontal dispersion?

    Okay so I have a 6.5 PRC. Leaves me scratching my head a little bit. With the ELDM 140 grain bullet I can repeatably shoot sub. 5 moa groups with a particular powder. Switch to the ElDX bullet and my horizontal dispersion is crazy! Just today I tested more loads with this bullet. Velocity...

    Brake that does not require a smith to install.

    As the title states, are there any good brakes that do not require a smith to install and time? I guess what I am looking for is a brake that I can just screw on, tighten down and be good to go. This is for a Savage model 110 Tactical Desert with 5/8x24 threads. I really like the brake that...

    6.5 PRC Velocities

    Hello all, Recently purchased a 6.5 prc and I am getting close to finishing load development. My question here is simply about performance on game at listed velocities or close to them. I have a load that shoots like .3 MOA with the 140 ELD bullet, at an average velocity of 3030. I have another...

    6.5 PRC Load Data

    So I finally got my dies for the 6.5 PRC rifle I recently purchased. The rifle is a Savage Model 110 High Country. Overall I am really liking this rifle. I do like the fact that I can fit longer rounds in the mag. Max mag length is 2.995" So these rounds were loaded to 2.985" to ensure they will...

    Looking for a new press.

    I am looking for a new press to accompany my other press. Idea is to have one for seating, one for sizing and one for the Lee Quick trim I have been using. Recommend me a good press for sizing operations please. I have around a $200 budget for press only. I was considering another Rock Chucker...

    Vortex Viper HST 6-24x50

    So after looking at many different optics for my 6.5 Creedmoor I settled on the Viper HST. There are many reasons I chose it, but that's not what we are here to discuss. Today I would like to share my thoughts about this optic. First I very much like the turrets and the tracking seems to be...
