    6.5x284 load development

    At .010 off the lands you should have plenty of room to see the seating nodes tightening and opening. We always need to be diligent in studying the available pressure signs during load development at our ranges during and stop when we see them. Log your CBTO and work back in 3-4 shot groups in...

    6.5x284 load development

    +1 to that! You have great findings already. Going .2 either way will certainly help you know the best charge weight. Then run a seating test. That should tighten up an already fine shooter.

    True MACHINIST gunsmiths? (a rare breed)

    We all learn as we go. I had a very long discussion with the smith who has it now. He acknowledged the differences in particular brass. I was able to talk with some of clients, and I feel confident the build will be correct for my components when I receive it. I’m learning thanks.

    Hello from Southern Nevada

    Thanks it’s good to be here. I’m looking forward to learning and adding to those things I think I already might know. My 300 win was the start of it all for me. It was a factory Browning A-Bolt. It kicked like mule! I talked to a smith in southern Utah about a muzzle brake I ended up with a #5...

    Hello from Southern Nevada

    Hello...I enjoy hunting and long-range shooting. This forum has really helped me with ballistics, my load-development, shooting techniques, and rifle-build products. I am looking forward to learning more. I shoot a 300 Win Mag, and I am waiting for my first 6.5-284 custom build. So no more...
