    Cartridge dissection - Open to interpretation

    The things that stood out to me. Along the web, you can see the striations. To me that looks like where the case gets worked the most. The white by shoulder and neck, I believe it looks like that due to the annealing process. Or because of the bottle neck created. Still pondering that...

    Cartridge dissection - Open to interpretation

    Anyone have any comments. I cut this case in half, is there anything we can learn from this? 6x fired Nosler brass

    Looks like 62.2 is gonna work for me. Large node between 62.0 to 62.6. All between 3063 and 3075.

    Morning, I need some help from you guys. I have searched high and low for data on this, but getting some conflicting data. Maybe I am overthinking it, but better safe than sorry? I found a post showing QL data for this combo, with max load being about 63.6, but when I find other users “pet...

    Yes. In my 280ai, I’m getting 162 Eld-m up to 2940 with 4831. Just picked up H1000, hoping to get 175 or 180’s up to 2800 but haven’t tested yet. Supposedly RL26 is the best though.

    Custom rifle cost going to the moon , when does it end ?

    A fool and his money soon part ways. Support your local gunsmith. I bet they can build as good a rifle as the big boys or better.

    What seating depth do you like better?

    Playing with seating depths at 300 yards Photos are turned sideways for some reason, sorry

    Reloading - next steps?

    I just don’t think I can get a 180 to do more than 2750ish. Seating depth as is, grouping .35” at 100 yards definitely need to do more testing

    Reloading - next steps?

    Attended my first club f-class match at 530 yards. I did ok I think, but definitely have room to improve (4th out of 9 in my division). Wind was about 20 mph in our face and started gusting to 35mph and switching from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock. First time shooting from the prone. Shooting off...

    Calling all Nerds - load testing

    I thought the flat spots were the nodes. The dips seem like a spike then a drop, like some kind of pressure change issue. I don’t know.

    Calling all Nerds - load testing

    Hey guys, Please see the attached graph and spreadsheet. A few things: 1) can anyone tell me what’s going on with the circled areas on the line chart? It’s my load work up look for nodes in .2 gr increments 2) Do you think I should go ahead and test 60.5 gr? 60.4 (Spreadsheet Load 4)...
