Called RCBS today and lady I spoke to said it shouldn’t have been an issue with case dimensions so they are mailing me a new set of jaws. I’ll see if that takes care of it. Regardless could not have asked for a quicker, more polite response. I’ll see if that addresses the issue when I get...
Working on priming my first batch of 6.5 PRC cases today and found that my RCBS hand priming tool really didn’t work all that well with the fatter case. I switched to the RCBS Automatic Priming Tool on my bench and found that it was really easy to use and primed the 80+ cases I had left to...
More scope than required for cartridge but I am using a Leupold VX6 2-12x42 w/Firedot Duplex on my CZ527 6.5 Grendel. My ranges/shots are close in south west Mississippi so I like the reticle for poor visibility and the upper magnification for my old eyes…. I know you don’t need that much...
Curious about folks experience with the Nosler 168 gr. ABLR in the 280 AI. I have a Kimber 84L that I haven’t done much with and since I was able to get some of the 168 gr. ABLR would appreciate hearing from those who’ve loaded that bullet in the 280AI, thanks.
I’ve taken 2 more deer with the above load so far this season and it has continued to perform above my expectations. I really don’t think I will use another hunting load in this rifle - it just works. Anyway that’s all I have to report. No trophies - took two does for meat. They were both...
I have taken 2 deer using 143 gr. 6.5mm Norma Bond Strike loaded to 2800 fps in my 6.5 Creedmoor. One was a decent (for where I live) ~ 165# 8 point shot through white throat patch as it was nearing end of legal shooting hours and it was what I could see - DRT no bullet recovered. Other was a...
All the usual safety caveats apply - while the below load is safe in my rifle it may not be safe in yours - start below the charge listed and work up. I did also reference the Shooter’s World load manual out at that time to verify the powder charge. See load below. It just happened by happy...
FWIW - I use the 129 gr. Nosler ABLR in my 6.5 Grendel. It has proven to be my most accurate bullet and it‘s performance on deer in the little cartridge has been excellent. I use it in my CZ-527 6.5 Grendel and it really works in the little rifle and cartridge.
I have found better accuracy...
I had reasonable results with TAC under 100 gr. Nosler Partitions though I didn’t have any of the other powders you listed. I suspect you are right on Benchmark and H335 with the 99 gr. bullet. I switched to heavier bullets so using powder other than TAC.
FWIW - i hunt in south west Mississippi, shots are close with brush and other cover very thick. I have successfully used a 7mm-08 loaded with 120 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips loaded to just over 3000 fps for quick one shot kills either DRT or very short death dash no more than 20 yards to kill a...
