I really appreciate the response CMP. Did you try and run the Hammers at 3250 FPS or faster? I notice your velocity is about the same as my Creedmoor. I’d prefer the PRC to have a higher muzzle velocity as long as it’s still Sub MOA.

Thanks STX. I've already got my CR shooting excellent with Varget. The PRC is a totally different animal though so I'm looking for someone who already has a load for 6.5 PRC. I definitely plan on trying RL23 because Steve told me to do that.

I'm looking for a recipe for the 124 GR Hammer Hunter in 6.5 PRC. I need a CA legal hunting round for this rifle. So far I've tried RL 26 powder and the bullets sprayed all over the page. Please help. Steve from Hammer says to try H4831SC and RL23 which I will do, but maybe one of you guys...

I returned an annealing machine after I ruined 50 beautiful form fired cases. Had same problem. Bad runout and horrible accuracy afterwards. Annealing is an art form and apparently I’m a horrible artist. My virgin brass shot better than 0.700” groups at 100 yards. My annealed brass went to 2”...

I'm buddies with a 6 time F Class National Champion who is an unbelievable shot and a reloading LEGEND!!! He shoots 300 WSM. If I ever need another large caliber rifle there is no question that is what I would buy!!!

Does anyone have a good recipe using H4831SC for the Barnes 160 GR TSX bullet in a 7 MM Weatherby Magnum? My rifle is custom built with a Bartlein 1 in 9 twist barrel. I can get 1” groups with the Barnes 145 GR LRX bullets but a few old timers at the range said they are willing to bet my rifle...

Thank you Barrelnut

I'm not happy with the Harris bipods that I put on my rifle. They are hard to front load and have a tendency to hop around on me when I shoot my 7 MM WBY. What are the best bipods for long range hunting? I'm looking for something light and easy to front load to prevent hopping.

You have some beauties!!! Thank you for the confidence boost.

Thanks for your help! I ended up changing my mind and ordered the Z6 3-18 with the BRH. My goal is to be able to kill game at 500 yards and I know this scope will get me there if I do my part and practice. If I was shooting out to 1000 yards I'd get higher magnification but I like the 18...

I bagged a decent 2 x 2 forked horn black tail on Saturday with the 145 GR LRX Reloads you all helped me to develop. It was a nice sneak over a ridge and there he was bedded down about 75 yards away. I shot him through the ribs, through the heart, out the other side, and into the lower part of...

I have no doubt the AMP is superior. I do very small batches so I didn’t want to shell out the big bucks.

I just purchased the annealeez! Looks perfect for my small batch reloading! Thanks for the help!

I'm really glad I asked! The annealeez looks like a great product!

Does anyone recommend the Bench Source Case Neck Annealing Machine? You can get one for under $600 at Brownells. I saw a video on YouTube which demonstrates the unit and it looks pretty slick. I'm on my third round with my current brass and I want to anneal before loading up again. I really...
