Haha no brake on this one. It's not that bad where it needs a brake. I was just surprised is all. My 28nosler puts it to shame when it comes to recoil lol

I am happy with the speeds. It was more the question on recoil. Does it make sense the recoil is so stout? Just want to make sure I'm on the safe side. Again, zero indications of pressure as far as I can tell.

I am a long time loader but first time absolute hammer loader. I worked up a load for a 6.5cm using 123 absolute hammers and varget. I saw some information stating to you a faster powder than normal or look at powders used in one weight class lower bullet weights. Anyways, I worked loads all the...

I'm interested to know how it lead to you missing a deer? I'm about to buy a cross.

All, For me hammer bullets have always given me a bit more speed than standard loads in my normal barrel length rifles. I'm wondering how they perform in short barrels? Reason I ask is I'm going to buy a sig cross 16in 308 or 18in 6.5 creed and I'm wondering if I could maybe pick up some of the...

Haha wish I could. My wife's entire family is local and they are very family oriented

Suppression is not allowed in NY or else I would.

It's a pencil barrel and could not support a can....also I'm in NY where cans are illegal. Dumb law!

I have a few rifles actually. 6.5prc, 28 nosler, 7mmrem mag, 7mm08 and a 3006. The 3006 is very light weight mountain rifle but kicks like a mule for my wife and is a 24inch barrel. I was wanting to go short barrel for maneuverability. We hunt with hearing protection but it sounds like the 308...

I always hunt with hearing protection

I didn't think the other posted. I'm not sure how to delete a thread

All, I'm looking to add a sig cross to my collection. It will be used for short range deer hunting. 99% of shots inside 200 yards. One field which MAY get hunted does have a 400 yard possibility but I'd likely bring a different rifle. I do reload but currently not setup for 308 or 6.5creed. The...

All I'm looking for help in choosing the caliber for a sig cross I will buy. It comes in a 308 16in barrel or 6.5creed 18in barrel. This will strictly be for my woods walking deer gun so most shots will likely be inside 200 yards. There is one field which does have 400 yard shots but if I...

I made a dumb mistake while loading bulk 223 on my dillon. After loading about 30 rounds I realized I forgot to chamfer the cases and saw I had definitely been getting copper shavings from seating bullets. I understand this will likely cause poor accuracy but will it pose any danger? Again...

All, When you are loading for bulk 223/556 (where you are simply looking for shortrange plinking accuracy), do you sort your brass? I know that if you are working at top end loads, a safe load in one type of brass may not be safe in another but what if you work in a bottom end load range? For...
