I have given up on the Alpha reamed 6 Dasher chamber, yesterday I tried to fireform Lapua 6 BR brass to Dasher and a friend gave me 5 pieces of his formed Lapua Dasher brass to try, both leaked carbon past the necks like with the Alpha brass and accuracy sucked. I have done everything possible...

Don't overlook Suzuki, they say its the most reliable engine. I yet need to see it to believe it. My ETEC kept breaking down once I get it fixed and its always another thing.

I have been a long time Evinrude fan as well, it felt better switching. It was one turn of the key and drive all day and fish with that Suzuki. ETEC had overheating issues since Day 1. On my last fishing trip, we had a long boat ride, about 65-75 miles round trip we went south and north to fish...

It's my first time using the mono bullets. I always have used 180 Accubonds with the 300 Mag and I love em' and they do work on those tough nilgai. Two years ago, the ELD-X 200 grain is too soft for bone, and did not do so well on the nilgai cow shoulder bone, they busted up just one shoulder...

Ran a stout 78.8 grain load of RL 25 and 180 TTSX, still seated .050" off the lands. Velocity : 3234, 3243, 3236 with 3 shots @100. I pulled high on the 3rd shot, was flinching with those crappy earplugs awaiting the big boom from the muzzle brake. Was windy out, around 25-30 mph headwind as...

Getting a new build not for hunting, but F Class, but it won't be for 2025, but in 2026,,, 6 BRA Nitride Bat Machine MST, right port, right bolt with teardrop, no ejector or safety, single shot, 30 inch Bartlein SS polished 1.250" breech, slight taper to 1.100" muzzle, 7.5 twist, Bix and Andy...

Please tell us the story,,,,did the monster rabbit chase you guys? :D

I don't get emotional when I harvest game, my intention was to hunt and harvest to feed my family. I do give thanks to the man above for the blessings for providing food for the table.

Ran the data on Quickload, the pressure maxed out at 79 grains. 79.5 grains was at 66,250 psi just 2,250 psi over the safe psi factor of 64,000 psi which isn't much.

Headed to my buddy's place to test 6 rounds with Barnes 180 TTSX and RL 25 in Lapua brass and .050" off the lands. 77 - 79.5 grains in .5 grain increments for the ladder to check pressure and velocity. I was expecting mid 3000 on the first round, but surprised on the speed. 77 gr. - 3139 fps...

That is a sweet looking rig with some fine components. Let us know how it shoots when you get it back.

Loaded 6 individual charges in .5 increments from 77 to 79.5 grains RL 25. Got some RL 25 data off of Speer and Alliant. Felt a good crunch and seated .050" off at OAL of 3.475". Just to check pressure and velocity, I aim to get it up to 3100 fps, if not more. My 180 Accubonds ran up to 3260 fps...

Seeking RL 25 data besides Quickload, wasn't able to find any. Would the middle charge data from RL 26 be similar to start with?

Wanted to get back in the game after a small hiatus from reloading. I remembered buying two boxes of 180 TTSX for the 300 Win Mag for those tough nilgai. After neck turning the thick Lapua brass many months ago to fix a high pressure issue, I have pulled 6 cases to size, ran a .307 mandrel...

I like your way of thinking, I could try it, but I don't have the die with me yet, until I get the results back from Short Action on the die.

60 shots per match, i only have enough for one last match. I won't keep buying new brass just to shoot matches, I need to find a fix to the problem. Even my gunsmith suspects that the issue is the die.

Virgin brass without bumping at all shows excellent results on paper at 100, even at 600 yards, I made great scores with a few nines from wind or human error. It did great, after sizing the 1X fired brass with bump, accuracy was poor compared to my virgin brass results plus issues with carbon...

By the way, I forgot to include in my post that the virgin brass that was fired on my last test had no carbon, on that brass it was never annealed and I sized it and fired it two more times, it still had carbon. So annealing had nothing to do with it.

I started off with a RCBS press when I was a newbie, had it for about 25 years until I got the Redding Big Boss. I heard good things about the Co Ax with its free floating system. Co Ax would be my next press if I were to seek a new press.

The necks did not glow, maybe I did mis interpret, its was change color to a faint orange when I pulled.
