Thank you.

Thank you, this gives me a starting point.

Over the years I have had good results using the BLC-2 powder in everything from 222 Remington through to the 308 Winchester. I haven’t found any data on using this powder in the 6.5 Creedmoor so I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with this combination? Or knows where to find data?

I recently purchased a Bergara B14 Stoke in 6.5 Creedmoor. This rifle comes with a 20 inch barrel. I find that although it shoots 120 grain bullets accurately enough, it really doesn’t like 140’s. Groups in this weight range are disappointing. My previous Bergara B14 HMR would handle all bullet...

Hello, it seems most handloaders enjoy pushing the envelope when it comes to velocity, always risking more pressure for the sake of a few more feet per second. I confess, I have been guilty of this myself. The reason I no longer do (aside from the obvious safety concerns) is that I have rarely...

How did you measure these pressures?

We all know the +P designation regarding the 257 Roberts refers to the increased SAAMI pressure rating to 58,000 psi. My question regards the Nosler +P rating on Nosler 257 Roberts brass, which I just acquired. Is there a definitive difference between this brass and other 257 Roberts brass? I...

That’s Canada, a beautiful country ruined by Liberal ideology.

You don’t need a gunsmith for either of these projects. A carpenter or general handyman could do them very adequately. I have done both and don’t consider myself anything above average in capability or competence.

Your self control is admirable. 😉

In Canada the Athlon Rangecraft is $100 less than the Garmin which is usually $729.00. Understandable when you consider the Canadian dollar is sinking fast in value, less than $.70 American.

Do you have a link to any of these guns? Especially the Kimber? Thanks Abe.

With my new 257 Roberts built rifle with the 1:7 twist I get the best accuracy from 120 and 128 grains. I haven’t tried 134-135 yet. In my old model 77 Ruger it loves 100 grain. Perhaps the most overlooked cartridge in history.

Sounds familiar.

I have never annealed my brass, never even heard of it for many years but I was wondering does it really extend brass life? Is so, how much? Asking those with experience if they can quantify this? The picture is 257 brass that was used 3 times, resized 4 times. Normally I get 7-10 uses before I...
