    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Hopefully there will be a bunch hitting shelves. I grabbed some but not as many as I would like. I thought I had eight boxes of 500 on the shelf and was thinking I was set for the next two years. then last week I grabbed the top box and realized I had 500 tmk’s and 3500 77gr bthp’s. Closest I’ve...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Just got an email that Natchez has 77tmk bullets (not loaded ammo) back in stock. Get em while they’re hot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Since the medium actions have already been run is it safe to assume if I have one ordered that hasn’t been delivered it’s on its way through finish and it should be here soon? Super excited if that’s the case!

    Thats what caused the insufficient ignition giving me the double burn which caused pressure spikes while I was fire forming. Once I went to magnum rifle primers my pressures went back to normal and everything started working out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The 6UM

    That’s basically the opposite of what I had happen. I fire formed three hundred pieces of brass (one hundred of which I ruined with the large rifle primers). I then loaded my way up to pressure at 68 grains, dropped back to 66 and I was at 3140fps. Once I tested for accuracy I loaded up 200...

    That seems like crazy velocity out of a 20” barrel. You’re 160+fps faster than I’m getting out of my 18” Krieger. If everything seems happy pressure wise I certainly wouldn’t complain or change anything if I were you, nothing wrong with free velocity. I’m interested to hear what the suppressor...

    I’m no doctor but the way I understand it a double burn is when you get enough ignition to just push the bullet into the lands and then when the rest of the powder burns you get a pressure spike because it takes more force to get the bullet moving. It all happens way faster than we can perceive...

    The 6UM

    Hey man, sorry I missed your question somehow, It is indeed a 6um. I also just noticed you’re using a 210 primer for your load. I tried using 210’s while I was fire forming and had pressure spikes high enough to ruin the primer pockets on my brass but the velocities were still low even for fire...

    The 6UM

    I know it’s not the same manufacturer but I was amazed at what they could do to fix mine. The second time I blew it up was a real doozy. I couldn’t find any of the guts and the sleeve was bulged in several places. They said they have a press to reshape the outside where the serial number is...

    I’m running 67.5 grains of N570 out of an 18” barrel and so far the silencerco omega has held up for about 550 rounds but I was certainly concerned I was gonna end up in the same boat as you. I blew one of them up on my 28 nosler with 22” barrel and they fixed it so I did it again just to prove...

    Thanks for the entertaining story, that sounds like an amazing trip.

    Slide Mountain - 2024 Season in Alaska - Back To Our Roots

    Amazing write up! This hunt is on my short list of things I have to do sooner than later.

    The 6UM

    I started at 30 off and 66gr and it shot good enough on once fired brass that I didn’t really mess with it after that. I am a little puzzled how I lost 150fps, I’m no doctor but I would imagine it’s got to be tied to the throat growing and it’s more than likely the cause for the accuracy...

    Lol No sir. I did about twenty five rounds of load development. Prior to that I fireformed 300 pieces of brass though. Then I loaded 200 and shot them, plus playing around with the bergers puts me right around 575 rounds. I did order two barrels and a reamer right out of the gate anticipating...

    The 6UM

    Well I ended up running the last ten dtacs I had loaded past the chronograph and velocity had dropped from 3140fps average to 2970fps average. Guessing the throat is starting to go being as I’ve got about 600 rounds down it and I wasn’t super nice while fireforming, after I added a grain and a...

    Not sure if I needed to quote you for you to see my reply from yesterday as I’m new to using this app. If you’re just busy or don’t care to respond no worries but I’m genuinely curious why you would chose the dtacs over the bergers assuming accuracy does prove to be what it seemed? The one thing...

    Just at the sake of not sounding like an asshole the 1200 yard critter was an antelope that someone had wounded out of their truck window and it took four shots. Everything else was 800 and in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Even with the velocity being not super crazy? I figured at those speeds I wouldn’t have to much to worry about as far as them exploding at closer ranges. I’ve killed a pile of stuff from 40-1200 yards with them out of a 6 creed going 3020 and had good luck so far. Just to clarify a pile of stuff...

    115 Berger vld hunting seems to want to fly. I was being pickier than I should and only getting the dtacs to shoot 1”-1.4” ten round groups and figured I would try some of these since they were sitting on the bench. I started with a couple 5 round groups which were both right around .5” as well...
