    Problem 6ARC Brass from 7.62x39

    I did not, but from checking with my calipers (not sure the right way to check neck thickness), they are within .002

    Problem 6ARC Brass from 7.62x39

    Well I have, and some of it is up to 8% higher, while some of it is almost identical. I know weight does not directly equal capacity, but I have checked that. Guess I need to fill cases with water. Also, the 7.62 brass is large primer vs small primer 6arc. Would that contribute?

    Problem 6ARC Brass from 7.62x39

    Ok so I have a batch of a couple of different name brands of 7.62 brass than I have converted to 6arc. However, when I get anywhere near (~1-2grs) a load that I normally use in 6arc brass I start blowing primers in the 7.62. This happens across multiple name brands of 7.62. I don’t have a...

    223 Loads

    Watching… I’ll add to the group though, I’ve had GREAT success with 25-26 gr Lever with 73-77 SMK, TMK, and eld-m. My go-to is 25.5 for all of those. Accuracy seems to be best at 25.5-26, but I start getting noticeably worse ejector marks after 25.5. My measure is sitting at 25.5 Lever right...

    Hornady Equivalent to 77gr TMK

    I’ve been shooting the 73eld-ms & 75 bthps with better accuracy results than 77tmk/smk. Also the Hornady are cheaper and can be found locally, so I actually choose those over the sierras

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Did you at least put the crocs in 4WD (strap over heel)? Or were you good toting that sucker out in 2 high?

    Hornady BTHP for Hunting

    Specifically looking at .224-75gr, .243-105gr, and .308-168gr (or 175) I know ELDs are pretty widely accepted for the performance on game, but I can only find spotty references to the BTHPs performance on game. Looking at these bullets out of a 223, 6arc, or 308 gas gun. Does anybody know or...

    Painless load development (mine)

    Maybe you said and I missed, but have you done this with Hornady powder measure? I have the same measure and wanted to do the same thing, but my scale only goes to .1, so I would have to do a LOT of throws to get the data I’m interested in. Edit: interested in Hornady with leverevolution*

    Drop Test Pass/Fail

    I’d be willing to help you put it together. Only thing I would add is MSRP price. I realize that could get confusing, but it’s a big part of most peoples decision

    Drop Test Pass/Fail

    Is there a running list of tested scopes and whether they passed or failed? I’ve read through a lot of the evals, but I’m just talking about a list of what passed and failed? Would be really helpful when looking for new scopes.

    @BLJ: do you have a load for these bullets? I have a few but can’t find a load that makes me happy with them

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    Glad I skimmed through all the bs, and didn’t ask this same question twice now… does this same concept hold true even for barrel burners? Concerned 7WSM owner asking here…
