No I haven't tried Varget, and honestly probably won't. I know it's one of the better powders in a BR/BRA, but I just don't care for it honestly. It burns super dirty. I'd rather shoot H4895 which is what I'm shooting. H4895 is also one of the better powders in a BR/BRA and I have a new jug of...
Ended up taking 5th. Was not my greatest day of shooting and for some odd reason, I was shooting over the top and to the right of everything. But, it's a new rifle, and I haven't spent a lot of time with it at LR yet. Only thing I can think of is my zero was a little high and right. Which is odd...
As long as the wind isn't ripping, I expect to at least place top 3. We'll see though. I took 1st a few years back there with my 7-300 Win Mag and 180g ELDMs. It's a fun shoot and a great range.
Took the 6 BRA out to 1100 this evening to get a verified dope chart for the upcoming LR steel match in John Day this coming Saturday.
Cracked open my new jug of H4895 and just loaded em up at 30.2g with the 108g ELDM. No time for load development with it. I replaced the Hellfire brake with a...
Didn't figure a mag primer would make any difference. It's not neccesary for that small of a case. I'm curious to see what weatherby finds out. The accuracy is definitely all over the place. So much for their accuracy guarantee. I'd be more worried about the 2.5 MOA groups at 100 yards than an...
With those kind of speeds, it's geared more towards hunting than target shooting. If you want targets, just get the Creedmoor. Has the advantage of premium brass also.
Not a bad cartridge really. I like the sounds of it! They seem pretty conservative on the 133 Berger at 3K. Handloaders should...
Someone needs to come out with a long action fast twist quarter bore...Short actions don't really impress me much for big game cartridges.
None of that bothers me much any. Haven't bought a factory rifle in over 10 years. I'd rather just build a fast twist 25/06 or 257 WBY personally, or maybe...
Thanks CL. I gotta give credit to the smith and the inherently accurate 6 BR cartridge. I didn't have to do much honestly.
The Vortex is just a spare optic. I'm still ditching it for the S&B here in a week or two. Just wanted to get a few rounds downrange and get the virgin brass FF. It's not...
Probably gonna take at least 1 more firing, maybe even 2 to get fully formed shoulders. I'll probably just stick with H4895 honestly. I don't see varget doing much if any better than H4895, plus its a tad faster from everything I see. Plus I don't have any Varget and it's hard to come by...
Went and shot the new 6 BRA today. Had 12 rounds loaded up with new Lapua brass to get fire formed. Went with 29g H4895 at .010" in the lands with a 108g ELDM. 1st shot at 100 missed the target. Set up a target at 25 yards and shot a 2nd. Was quite a bit high. Adjusted to bullet hole and...
Got a 5-25x Strike Eagle mounted on it this afternoon just so I can shoot these fire forming loads over the weekend. I didn't want to take the Schmidt off the 223 yet since I'll be coyote hunting with it over the weekend. Rifle balances out perfectly! Will be great from the bags/barricades for PRS!
Received my 6 BRA couple days ago. Smith work was done by James Eazor at Eazor Precision out of PA. It's a Kelbly Atlas Tactical, 26" BRUX HV 8 twist, Hellfire brake, MPA BA Hybrid chassy, and Trigger Tech Diamond set at 8 oz. Going to mount the S&B PMII 12-50x after the weekend since it's on my...
I don't think a magnum primer is going to help any or fix that, just my thoughts. There's absolutely zero need for a mag primer burning less than 40g of powder. Typically you want the mildest primer that provides adequate ignition for the best results. A mag primer in a case burning 35-38g of...
I absolutely love them. Glass is exceptional even on 25 and 50x. It's like crystal clear like it's in front of your face. The turrets are repeatable, and built like a tanks. I have the 12-50x on my 223 and now the 5-25x on my 7-300 Win. I can't say enough good about them, and the only complaint...
Exactly. Just another out to please the left at this point. Unless they have some type of exchange a Glock gen 1-5 program that criminals are going to jump on 🤣
