Looking for some new lapua 223 brass if anyone has an extra box laying around they want to get rid of, fat chance I know, but worth a shot.
I looked at every single online place I could think of yesterday and everyone is out of stock. I did place myself on like 5 notifications for when it does...
That's actually a really good idea.
I am going to do some more load development after these 100 cases are fireformed. My plan is to load 5 each at 40/40.1/40.2/40.3/40.4 and shoot groups at 300 and record velocities. Try to get it narrowed down just a bit more.
Yes I can. That was the goal as it's primarily a coyote/steel and will see a few local PRS/MOA challenge matches. It's pretty cool. I watched that dog fold like a sack of potatoes yesterday and was also able to see the vapor trail and hits on the 500 yard gong.
Thanks Jim. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Only have 80 rounds through it so it should get a little better and faster. Only thing I'm going to do is swap out those crappy WLRs for some CCI 200s. I might tinker with seating depth after these 100 cases of Peterson brass are fireformed. Didn't...
I went with 40.2 It was a .8" group at 300 yards for a .6g charge spread with an ES of 20. I'll take that anyday. Reason being I didn't go with 39.3 is because I want a little more velocity, plus those 3 weren't quite a good of group, especially with the vertical and the ES was 50.
Haven't done...
Did a quick ladder test with the freshly built 6 creed last week at 300 yards. Just wanted to share the results. Anyone care to take a guess where I loaded the rest of the batch up?
This is why I got into long range 22 LRs a few years ago. It's cheap, don't have to reload or use up components, still get that trigger time, and it's just plain fun shooting 22s out to 500 yards.
With that said, I have a fine line these days as to what I'll pay since I'm still shooting on $25...
I would throw them all straight in the trash...
I've been using them for years (brass cups) with no issues until last week doing load development for my new 6 creed. I blew 1 primer and had 4 gas leaks out of the first 50 cases. I was not hot rodding them at all either, before anyone jumps to...
You can get 3100fps with 160s in a 7 mag with a stiff load of Retumbo pretty easily I know that much. It's more at home around 3000fps however.
I love the 7-300 Win Mag personally. I can do 180g ELDMs at 3150 pretty comfortably from my 28" Bartlein if I want to with RL26. But I chose to go with...
Thank you Dr Mike. I have RL17, but it's for the wife's 7/08 haha. Not a lot of great powders for that particular combo, and RL17 is the only one I have out of all them. Trying to reach 2950-3000fps with the 80s. Might have to drop down to the 75s and settle for around the 3K mark.
Wonder if...
