    Reloading 2.0 Guidance Requested

    Well, I'll just have to take your word for that. Flap Sander to "finish a barrel" is something PRS and other competition shooters just wouldn't do, EVER!!

    Changing incremental powder charges is good technique; changing seating depth is also good technique. Thing is you want to find the right powder charge and then dick with the seating depth. That said, OP is a hunter at heart not a paper puncher. Shooting Minute of Deer (4~5 MOA) should be...

    6.5 creed or 6mm for coyotes?

    I really like the 6 ARC. That said, I'd lke to have a 22 ARC or 22 Creedmoor.

    Forester Bushing Sizing Die or something similar. OR if you really like the new Eric Cortina Mandrel Dies are top notch. There's lots of good Dies out there.

    Reloading 2.0 Guidance Requested

    I like to consider those things that "might" make me a better target shooter. I don't hunt that often but I do punch paper. I'm a fan of one particular World Class Shooter; Eric Cortina. I try to follow what he does including buying his Micro HS FL Sizing Die. Pricy but I sold some other...

    Not a fan. Did you read post #48?

    I am 100% convinced Annealing affords an advantage to brass life. Not being wealthy like some I like to extend case longevity. I see that most, if not all PRS shooters Anneal and Full Length Size their competition brass cases. Good enough for them, good enough for me.

    Post #48 is a classic example of what is occurring. Not cogent!

    I will direct my comments to OP's remarks; but I have to tell ya, it's discouraging to try and provide salient information when another gives diametrically opposite and possibly harmful "opinions".

    Enlighten me. And I don't know you but I'll accept the notion we are "pals". I was responding to OP's remarks, not to a bloviating bully.

    Excuse the divergence from OP's qustion.

    I believe that more appropriately applies to your pretense. I'll even go so far as to say you were probably once a nice chap, before you became omnipotent, at least in your own eyes.

    Glad you caught it, I threw that in for you. I suppose your next critique will be as the spelling monitor. You seem to know just enough to be a starter reloader, certainly not one to give accurate advice.

    Bigstuck is not being very constructive. For one thing, he doesn't no your rifles chamber. The big boys that shoot PRS, and extra long range UNIVERSALLY FULL LENGTH RESIZE. Again, RCBS Dies are very good. You already know enough to get started on the right path. Good Luck.

    Starline Brass makes an excellent product and is half the cost of Lapua. That said, if you want to roll out the dough for Lapua, do it. I shoot MOA with my reloads using Hornady and Aguila and Starline brass. I'm primarily a paper puncher but will occassionally hide in the weeds for a stray...

    What he means "Tikka has a sloppy chamber" is the chamber is cut a bit larger than in other barrels. Not a problem. Just FL resize after firing. Tikka's are excellent rifles. Do you presently have any 6.5CM dies? If not and all you're going to use the rifle for is hunting, I'd buy a good set...

    Not necessarily; that's why I have more than one bushing. If the neck brass is to thick or thicker than the Hornady brass I will use the larger bushing. With calipers you measure the thickness at the mouth of the case; double that figure and add in the diameter of the bullet. That figure is...

    Reloading 2.0 Guidance Requested

    What I started with was a full length neck bushing sizing die by Forster. Right now I have a .288 and .290 bushings that allow for the different brass thicknesses. With the Hornady brass I loaded yesterday, I used the .288 bushing. To finish the load I use a Wilson Seating Die. OAL is easy...

    6.5 creed or 6mm for coyotes?

    I switch between my 6.5CM and my 6ARC depending upon how much weight I have to carry in the field. Both are Boss.
