I ordered some Lapua Brass for my 6.5 Creedmoor. With the small flash hole my current die set will not work. I have a Redding type s bushing die. Can I just replace the decapping pin with the ppc pin and be on my way or is there more to it than that...

ProChrono pal. Not the most expensive one out there but usually reads velocity as expected. As far as I’m concerned 2880 FPS is pretty fast for 147gr. I’d be fine with it if that’s all a can get.

Not sure why but I’m seeing pressure sooner than others. Shot today with the 147 eldm set .02” off, once fired nosler brass, WLR primer, and RL 26 from 45.5 gr to 47 gr. Results of 5 shot strings. 30” barrel. 100 yds. 45.5 gr RL 26 2886 2873 2879 2881 2886 .51” group. Shows potential. Going to...

I finally got to the range to shoot my 140 RDF and 147 ELD-m loads. I forgot my chronograph so I have no velocity data. Shot from 46 - 48 gr in .5gr jumps. Nosler brass and WLR primer and bullets .03 jump. I first shot the RDF with no luck in accuracy. All groups shot over 1". No pressure signs...

Wow, I don’t think my eyes are that good. Thanks for the advice. I’ll probably give it a try with the scope I have already and see what I think.

I’m new to the world of long range shooting. Currently the longest I’ve ever shot is 300 yards but a range just opened locally that goes out to 1,000 yds. Ive got a Nikon monarch 5 3-15x50 on my rifle now and for 300 yds and under it’s been great. Is 15x enough for shooting at 1,000 yds? If not...

Thank Bowfishn, those estimated velocities are pretty impressive. I’ll probably start at 46 gr and load up to 48gr and see how it goes. Both bullets are new to me so I don't have a benchmark for accuracy. Hopefully I can come up with a nice consistent and accurate load. I’m new to the world of...

Bowfishn, I was wondering if you could run some QL data for my setup. I’m new to RL 26 and I’m interested in giving it a try. I’ll be trying 140 Nosler RDF at a col of 2.845” and the 147 eldm at a col of 2.835”. This would be in Nosler 6.5 creedmoor brass with Winchester large rifle primers. My...
