Hmm. Got the wheels spinning again on a 6.5 wildcat idea with this one. 260 Nosler perhaps.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I have been reforming with the 6.5 dies, and loading a 3 grain charge of red dot behind the NOE 123 grain 6.5 bullet to fire form. My shoulders are a little rounded, but after a starting load at...

I swapped out the powder funnel in my lee powder drop die to one or a 32 S&W. There was a slight modification but I cant remember what it was. It works like an M-die, but much cheaper and more...

So, I guess my "rare" 91/59 is now a $500 boat paddle. haha!

I have one of those here. Just waiting on time to tig it together. He did not show that they had any in stock, but a quick email got one shipped out right away. I had grand dreams of stretching it...
Forum: Military Rifles
if you are looking at the 6.5 mpc why not take a look at the 6.5 pcc? barrels and dies are already available.

Out of all of the calibers I have chambered in ARs "5.56,300 BO, 6.5 Grendel, 50 beo, 9mm, and .22lr" the 9mm is about as fun as it gets for cheap shooting. For accuracy the 6.5 cant be beat, and the...

Shhh....go to sleep. Leave the case unlocked so the 1680 can breath.
Forum: Military Rifles
Rare, but it happens. With so many manufacturers pumping out parts tolerance stacking, and burs are the most common problem. Reamers wear, shaving get left in bolts or barrel extensions, burs are...

That bite goes deep. Carefull, next thing you know you have 3-4 blackout rifles, file paperwork for SBRs and silencers, scour the countryside for 1680, and go through over 100 pounds of lead a year...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
One of our members here designed a great 125 grain bullet for the grendel max that works well with the grendel. You can get one at NOE. That is what I am using for fire forming. NOE also has a...

I have put together a couple myself. I did not use the PSA parts because A, I put together mine before these lowers were available, and B because I do not like the proprietary nature of the upper and...
Forum: Military Rifles
Before calling it quits, and believing it is a chamber issue try swapping out the BCG between your two rifles. Sometimes these problems can be as simple as a bad extractor or missing parts in the...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have had good luck with that bullet powder coated as well. So far reloader 7 gave the best results but I would like to just try the 10x once or twice. More than adequate I would say for deer or...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I found that some once fired military brass will do this. The case head expands enough that even with a proper trim length, and shoulder set back the case would protrude slightly at the top of my...

What, like these? lol
the Beo does great with coated bullets. I have found in my testing anyway I can go to around 1000 rounds before cleaning becomes necessary for perfect function using coated...
I would skip the 300 whisper, and just go 300 blackout. The blackout will chamber both rounds, but not the other way around. I was sceptical at first when I started with it. Now I own 3. One is a...
Forum: Casting Equipment
You will not be able to get 2000 fps with any of the projectiles you picked in the blackout. All of them are to heavy for those speeds. I do go to over 2100 fps in a 16 inch barrel, but only with a...
Are you using an M-die for case neck, and mouth expansion? What dies are you using? It is possible that the cases are being oversized, and no matter how much you bell the mouth with a lee expander...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
As you read (and saw) I have yet to notice a negative difference in expansion of p/c bullets., with powder coat. In fact I have found it actually helps with keeping the bullet together a little. This...
Forum: Our Town
Okay, I found it through google. It is called the Kow Kant Kick, and it appears that they are still produced. No telling how old the ones I have are.
Forum: Our Town
Oh that thing is probably rusted in place now. I need to pick one up anyway for the horse manure. Part of what drew me to the place was then antique equipment scattered around. It is nice to touch a...

This one has its days numbered. Compression is good, but try to keep moisture from building in the hydraulics here in Oregon is a pain. 10 gallons of hytrans a year to keep it clear. This one has a...
