It will be a 6 BRA for F Class built by BAT Machine. I also like H4895, it worked very well for my 308 using 150 grain pills. I think I only have about 2 lbs left. Varget worked very well for my 6 BR using 29.7 grains currently with the 28 inch barrel at 2850 fps average, its where I find the...

Nice rifle and once it starts to break in, it should shoot better. I can't wait to get mine in late spring. Did the 6 BR Lapua brass fireform nicely? It's what I'll be doing as well. Don't leave out the Varget, its a great powder as well.

Good caliber and good shooting.

Load a dummy round with a bullet, measure neck diameter, subtract .002" for your bushing size. I made an error once by not having the brass, bullets and the die on hand before determining bushing size, because some brass necks are thicker or thinner than others. I was off .001"

I use reloading manuals as a guide, not as a Bible. They do give valuable information but have different data due to different case volumes, bullet chamber dimensions, barrel length, bullet seating depth. Each manufacturer's laboratory have different methods to check pressure and velocity data...

That should do. What do you plan to use them on? I have yet need to try my 180 TTSX from the 300 WM on nilgai one of these days. Several months ago I have worked up a stout load at 3260 fps without pressure, but backed off to 3240 fps for accuracy. Only thing was I saw a little vertical @100 or...

It's a good deal.

I have used H4895 for my .308 using the 150 Ballistic Tips, it was so accurate, burns clean, single digit ES / SD and temp stable. I have used full power and reduced loads without any issues.

Varget is my powder choice for bullets from 150-178 grains for my .308 GA Precision rifle. Currently using 178 grain ELD-X I have used H4895 for the lighter 150's and shoots lights out. IMR4064 would be a good alternative if Varget and H4895 is not available.

Hopefully its just a little reset to fix the issue, taking the family for a drive when its ready. It's a head turner.

Thanks, could not take it home today, left it at the dealer because the air temp outside is like 88 and the temp readings in the truck showed it as 64, its in the service dept being fixed. Strange. I did not even drive it off the lot.

Not a Christmas rifle, but an early present, a Z71 2026 Duramax Trail Boss crew cab 4x4 is being picked up today and trading in my old 09 Duramax. After an aggressive negotiation with the salesman, he walked away defeated and brought in his sales manager to resume negotiations,,,at the end it...

Wow Fotis, that wood is beautiful. Very nice rig. Time to do some serious handloading. ;)

Not for hunting, but for 600 -1000 yard F Class, ordered a custom built 6 BRA,,,,, BAT Machine MST action, McMillian Kestros stock, Bix and Andy trigger tuned to 4 oz and 30 inch Bartlein barrel. Two 6 mm truck axles on order as well, one 29 inch 1.250" straight taper, and a 30 inch 1.250"...

Just got the .45 Kimber in from my smith who installed a new Holosun 507 Comp reticle system, this is my 2nd Holosun, the previous one was on my .38 Super. Tuned some loads for the .45 using #AA7 with 4 round increments from 11.4, 11.6, 11.8, 12.0 and 12.2, using Starline P+ brass, and 185 grain...
