    Converted 6.5 grendel cases test

    I am happy to report the converted 6.5 Grendel cases all fed and cycled fine in the new 6 ARC build. After firing the cases measured 1.191 base to ogive so it looks like a sized case of 1.188 to 1.889 is perfect. I loaded 40 rounds with Federal AR match primers, 107 Nosler CC's and...

    How far can a shoulder be bumped back ?

    The reason I am asking is I have a 6MM ARC barrel on order and a ton of 6.5 Grendel brass both new and used. The case is almost the same except the shoulder on the ARC is .030 farther back than on the Grendel. Half the people on the neet swear you can convert, the other half say no way to get...

    Stevens 200, latest incarnation

    12 years ago a buddy of mine took his .243 Stevens 200 to work one night and left it on the loading dock. The plant was out in the boonies and a pack of wild dogs had been hanging around and one almost bit a truck driver. Unfortunately about midnight the rifle was backed into by a forklift and...

    Best concentricity sizing method I have used

    My latest method for getting minimal runout 1. Start with new cases or cases that have been resized in a FL non bushing die 2. Perform a 95% skim neck turn using your neck turning tool of choice. I like the Hornady but any will do the trick if properly used 3. Full length resize the case...

    Gordons reloading tool

    I know a couple of guys on the forum have been using it. I downloaded it and playing with it today. Loaded in some of my known loads and it seems to be pretty accurate. How accurate are you guys finding it? I have a couple of pounds of Leverevolution and factory load data is scarce in general...

    Primer weighing test

    It was completely unremarkable, that is about the best that can be said. I loaded 50 rounds of .260 Remington with 40.0 grains of H4350 and Barnes match burner 140's. twenty five rounds were loaded with CCI 200's picked randomly from the tray. Twenty five were loaded with primers weighed on my...

    Dish washer tabs in case cleaner

    Don't laugh till you have tried it. A guy on another forum suggested using the little tabs you put in auto dishwashers to clean cases instead of soap and lemishine. I had a couple of hundred 6.5 Grendel and .223 cases to clean today and tried it in my Franklin rotary. Just a single Finish brand...

    Chargemaster 1500 reprogramming

    If you like your 1500 now, watch this video and make the changes the video recommends and you will be amazed. I did and then checked mine against my AnD 120 and had similar results as the guy in the video. It drops faster and is stupid accurate, with the McDonalds straw mod mine now drops nine...

    Tree 123 scale revisited

    A couple of years back I purchased a Tree 123 scale from Amazon when I was in the market for a larger electronic. Although I had read good things about the scale on another forum I was severely disappointed in the drift of the scale. It needed constant recalibration and I could never be certain...

    looking for some load data on a new wildcat cartridge which is a 6.5 Grendel case necked up to .30 cal. The smith is going to contact the previous owner of the rifle to see what he used but considering the current powder situation I am not sure if I can duplicate it. If the previous owner used...

    IMR 3031 and .308

Hogdon's load data says 39.0 to 42.0 for a Sierra HPBT 168 gn . Anyone have any previous experience or tips for it...

    30 BW cartridge

    is there anyone that can point me to info on that cartridge ? I assume it is some obscure benchrest wildcat since Shooters Corner has a rifle listed with a barrel chambered in it. Rifle B41 on this page https://theshooterscorner.com/benchrest-rifles/
