I was going through a filing cabinet that belonged to my grandfather over the weekend and it was like opening a time capsule. Among the many first edition loading manuals, P.O Ackley cartridge manuals, and file folders containing targets shot over the years I found several articles saved. One...

This topic has been discussed in the past but what about a few years down the line now that the LT powders have been out a while. Is anyone using this combo in competition or is it more of a passed fad. Is it worth the extra hassle of mixing powders? Has anyone with reserves of real T powder...

I've got a corbin press and dies that I inherited, and I am considering giving bullet making a try since I have most of the stuff just collecting dust. I've never swaged a thing in my life so please be patient. I am unsure if I have all the pieces of the puzzle to do it. Mainly the press and...

So how would you compare 10x to the other powders I listed?

With the upcoming season right around the corner, I was wondering if anyone has seen any developments in powder choice for 6 ppc. Is LT-32 and 133 still the go to as usual? Have there been any more recent lots of certain powders that show promise ie: 8208,H322,Benchmark. Gonna try and get the...

Let me clarify a bit the specific cartridge I'm speaking of is the 6mm competition match or 6cm and on all the post about it they claim consistent 1/2 moa for 3500-4000 rounds. For me personally I would be happy with consistent 1 moa so I could probably go a little further. Coming from owning a...

I was browsing the web looking for a long range 6mm cartridge since i'm rebarreling a 6mm-284 I inherited, and stumbled across an article about a 6mm cartridge pushing 115's at 3100 claiming 3500 to 4000 rounds on a barrel. Just glancing over the article I was very skeptical at these claims...

Hello all. I have a new project I have decided to embark on. I have an old 722 with a barrel that has been through a lot, starting as a 222 then being re-chambered to 222 rem mag then cut and chambered to 223. I have tried just about every load under the sun and nothing shoots under an inch at...

I know the whole moly subject has been beaten to death but I am unclear on one aspect. Cruising through the forum reading articles on moly have brought me to the conclusion that moly has no noticeable affect on accuracy and decreases fps slightly but allows higher pressure for better velocity...

Some of you may remember a while back I was having trouble tuning a 6ppc, well that's changed. I changed seating depth and made a few other modifications to my process and boy what a difference. I found 120 new pieces of sako 6ppc brass from way back and decided to load up some rounds to see...

Hello my friends I have since returned from a brief hiatus and I am ready to continue where I left off. I have since been working on a new project one of the more interesting things I got from my grandfather in the slew of rifles was a Remington xp-100 in .221 fireball. I have never worked with...

opinions on what is a good scope for 200 yard score shooting? Rich's nighforce 15-55 was very nice but a little out of my price range. I learned quickly that my tasco 24x wasn't going to cut the mustard. I'm thinking a weaver T-36 but if you guys know any better scopes for around the same price...

Well that is good for now, but I am aware that this is the last match at the gallatin gun club until they build a new range and I would like to compete in between now and then. Are there any other places in the state?

I live in murfreesboro Tennessee and I'm looking for a place to competitively shoot short range benchrest but google has turned up little to nothing. I would prefer not to go out of state.

The barrel is chambered for 6mm-284.

Yep I know to turn the necks, that's why I haven't used the 10 old boxes of new brass. I have a hand turner and it is a very time consuming task. All the brass I'm using currently is on its 5th or 6th fire.

anyone know anything about H.W Creighton barrels? What about Robert W. Hart & son action? Google hasn't really helped with information about these parts specifically.

Here is an update. First I changed primers to remington 7-1/2 instead of federal 205m. I changed bushings from .258 to .257, there is also a .255 bushing in the box. I bumped the charge to 27 grains. I also tried free recoil instead of gripping the gun. Here are the results. My grandfathers name...

first off, thank you. I agree with everything you said 100%, but the reason I think it is the load is because my 22ppc will shoot one hole groups pretty consistently. I've looked over the gun and the scope and everything checks out, and with only about 900 rounds through the tube I wouldn't...

First things first I am no expert, i'm only 17. I recently have taken an interest in benchrest shooting, specifically short range 1-300 yds. I inherited everything from my grandfather ,so i'm working with what I could dig out of an attic. That said i'm working with pretty sweet gear from what I...
