They need to be annealed.

Definitely dryfire practice nightly..like 25 times a night. I wouldn't have started you shooting a magnum. I would have you start with a 223 or even 22lr for a few months. The smaller cartridges allow you to build good form and habits. Please dont develop a flinch. It's way hard to break.

These are the powders I would start loading . With a hot magnum primer, 215s or 250s

Looks like my Xten likes 13.4gr #9 and 180gr HAP. Twenty-nine shots at 25 yards. Just under 1200fps average. I have a box of 180gr XTP. I want to see if the same load shoots the same as the HAP.

At 3200 muzzle velocity you'll be at 3080 fps at 50 yards. Negative acceleration (deceleration/decay ) happens faster than people think.

Will do. I've always had good CS from RCBS.

Man, if that was my only option.... I have a backup plan. I have a stash of virgin Norma 7×57 brass I've had since Obama. I might get another 6mm Rem Ackley Improved. Still have dies.

Thanks, I really consider an Ackley 40°. I'm sure its cuson order. 18 to 24 months lead timeo_O

I've been searching for 6.5-06 AI dies for a couple of days. My search is coming back empty. Does anyone have any idea where to det a set? I have a Rem 700 long action with a 3006 bolt face bolt. I have plenty of Norma 3006 brass to work with. I could do a 280ai but the 3006 brass will be WAY...

Amazing!

Maybe have a friend stand and watch for gray ' poofs ' in front of the target. I dont think anything under 350,000 rpm would destroy jackets in a barrel that isn't really rough

I've (mostly) stopped buying factory rifles and started re-barreling. Last year the new barrel was a second 30 Nosler. This year is a new 223 Ackley Improved. Guess I'm going another direction, lol. I've had 270ai, 6mm rem ai, and my favorite 260ai. Always wanted a 223ai .

A compromise in performance and accuracy will probably be detrimental by trying to use the same powder. The exception would be 130gr in 270wsm and 140 to156gr in 6.5 cm. Then H4350 could work for both. I use Retumbo and 150gr vld in 270wsm. I use H4350 and rl16 and 140gr in 6.5 cm. Those...

My 30 Noslers always get positive feedback.

140 vld hunting. 3260 fps MV. 26" Pacnor 8 twist barrel. Retumbo, gm210m standard match primers. Shot her at about 250 yards, should be about 2850 impact velocity.

Happy new year from 264 wm.

This turkey egg eater was dispatched the same morning...no hats were made. Those 200gr Hybrid targets are serious business. I finally pulled the trigger on a doe at 250yds, first time I ever had to take a Texas heart shot. Ragdoll tossed her, lights out. No meat loss.
