I am going to be reshooting 58 and 58.5 at .025 and .030 off. If that has the same results as before a friend turned the necks on a few pieces of brass for me and I am going to see if those pieces do any better. My inconsistencies are either neck tension or the necks are too thick. Still not...
58 grain N565 3100 avg with 109 Berger and 20” barrel, 58.5 grain N565 3150 avg. I would say you will see a 20-25fps drop per inch of barrel. With a 17” you could still get around 3100. I could go faster but with a 7.5 twist I would be well over 300k RPM. Right now I am about 302K. 3150FPS is...
H1000 has gotten me more speed then N565. It is not showing the same ES and accuracy as N565 in the both the 6 and 25PRC. I am going to stick with N565. I am getting more velocity than I need. Right now I am over 300k RPM ‘s with the 109 Bergers so I will keep the speed lower. I built this rifle...
I got my barrel today and put it on my action. I loaded up 57,57.5 and 58 grains of H1000 and 58,58.5 and 59 grains of N565. Chamber measured around 2.33” CBTO so I loaded the rounds at 2.31”. Barrel finished at 3lbs 8oz and an .890” muzzle.
I am trying a 6prc first since I have the brass and dies. It will be slower by 1-150FPS, but I don’t need to buy dies or brass.
I thought about a 6UM, but I did not want to buy brass and dies.
Every piece of brass forms to the chamber. That’s why you typically don’t need to bump shoulders back right away. I have had new pieces of brass in a box that had to be sized before firing due to not fitting in the chamber and others in the box got two firings before needing shoulder bump.
I just put a dummy together at 2.925” with a 109 Berger and compared to my 25prc with a 135 Berger. I can’t wait for the weather to cool off so I can shoot when the barrel gets here around mid September.
I have 100 pieces of Lapua brass necked down, ran a mandrel thru them and chamfered. I have a 20” ACE 6 groove, 7.5 twist Remington varmint contour barrel with a 1.20 shank on order. Manzella is going to chamber it for me. I picked up some Berger 109’s to start with. I am going to run it along...
I have wanted to try a Kifaru pack for a few years and I have a good hunt coming up this year. I just sold my other pack. I have been watching their site for weeks. Hopefully they will get some packs and frames in stock at some point. I didn’t want to pay extra for the Ark frame, but the videos...
Drives me nuts when buyers reach out saying they want an item and then go silent for hours. If you start a conversation about buying an item get the deal finished in a timely manner.
