Anybody have a Tikka T3X Tac A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor? Just bought one. Haven’t read to many negative reviews on it. Almost pulled the trigger on a Bergara B14 HMR to save money. But figured this would be cheaper in the long run since wouldn't need to buy a chassis for it later. Hoping to make it to...

I accidentally ran 100 cases of Lapua 6.5 CM brass through my FW Arms decapper the other day. I normally use a Harvey decapper specifically for that brass since it has a smaller decapping pin. Anybody done this? And more importantly, does it affect accuracy?

When sorting through my 6.5 Creedmoor brass, I found a round with a 130 gr bullet still attached. Primer showed it was fired. I vaguely remember thinking this round was a dud and tossed it in my spent brass bag. I don’t recall hearing whether lthe round fired. Anyway, removed the bullet and...

Visited my local Academy store to buy some socks, and a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor followed me home. Anybody got one? You like it? How accurate are they?

I've been using a Hornady Iron press for my 6.5 CM (bolt and AR), .224 Valk, 6.8 and 6.5 Grendel. I'm considering selling it for a Dillon BL550. I don't have the time (or patience) to pull the handle 300-400 times when I could be pulling it once and be done. I'll continue to use my Fx120i with...
