    WTS Swarovski 10x42 EL Range W/ Ballistics

    Just in time for Christmas. Swarovski 10x42 El Range binoculars with ballistics. Includes everything from the factory. Have been used a couple seasons but are in good condition overall. There is some mild scratching on the lenses but nothing that impedes performance. Holler if you have any...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Man, if I were you I’d recommend going 6prc, 6 Saum or if you have to have the horsepower 6um. 6-7prc isn’t it I don’t think. Too much extra powder for no gain. If I could do it again I’d go straight 6prc I think.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    The hornady competition 7prc dies with a 6mm insert. I’ll have to check the web dimensions when I get home.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Shot for accuracy tonight. First 3 shots grouped well, I stopped and let the barrel and can cool because mirage was so bad I couldn’t see from the can. Once it was about half way cooled down, I shot 3 more shots. The first two grouped well but the 3rd flew way high. After that I let the barrel...

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    Are you stuck using Hoyt’s quiver and pic mount on this bow or can you still use traditional sights and other brands of quivers?

    Barrel Chop Screwed Up Accuracy

    The gunsmith wouldn’t take ownership of it. Ended up taking forms advice and going through everything and checking it. Last thing I got to was re-torquing the barrel. I bought a barrel vise and action wrench and cranked it down. It was pretty loose turns out. I went to 120ft/lbs and now it...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Shot for velocity and pressure today. 20” barrel, Peterson brass, 115 dtacs. 67gr n570 - 3193 68gr n570 - 3242 69gr n570 - 3273. Probably could push it to 70grns and be fine but I’m calling it at 69.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Got a few reloads done to test. Once the brass was formed there was no weirdness during the reloading process. No buckled shoulders, etc. Will shoot a few groups this week. I also ran my bore scope. Barrel looks surprisingly good after 100 rounds. You can see some scratches in the throat, but...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Got my Henderson trimming head in finally. Case forming and first firing put me right at max case overall length of 2.280” for the um reamer. Re-sizing the brass for the first time put me at 2.282”. I trimmed them back to 2.277”. Hopefully will get to shoot em this week.

    Henderson Trimmer - Order of operations

    Henderson Trimmer - Order of operations

    Trimming after sizing makes it tight around the pilot. But I expanded with a mandrel and it worked fine.

    Henderson Trimmer - Order of operations

    Those with a Henderson timer, do you trim before or after sizing? Seems like before sizing could induce some run out, but after sizing leads to a really tight fit.

    Are the UM Tikka action lightening cuts a good idea for a 6 UM or 6.5 PRC?

    After having custom actions compared to a tikka with cuts and nitride, I’ll never go back to a custom action. All in the tikka is cheaper and better.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    I need to bore scope mine as well and see if I got a bad barrel that is missing chunks of throat after 100rds. Hopefully not

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Have you been cleaning your barrel at all? I was going to try not cleaning on this gun like form and Ryan and shawn carlock were talking about. But I am questioning that choice. Especially since my first 6 shots out of the gun with 115s hammered. Then I quit keeping track while I was fire...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    I’ve had the same thought as well. Going to try the 115s with n570 in fire form brass, and if that doesn’t work I’ll shift over to Berger’s and then hammer bullets. My gun HATES the 108 elem

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    I don’t, I’ll ask um for a copy of it. That’s a good idea with the boresxope. I’ll check it out before I cut them down.
