    Larry asked a legitimate questions on how could I state that I've made 1000's of 6.5 aluminum gas checks and then question his shooting of over 600 rounds in testing his Swede. Simple answer. I...

    Larry,

    If you are reading this (Pat if not relay this along to him) I'm going to send you some of my soap lube. Might as well try the real McCoy instead of geargnasher making up some. I still...

    Pat,

    Talked to Arne this morning, also asked him about 4350 powder and here's his reply:

    AR15 was the first gun in 1998 and what I did most testing in. Didn't do a bolt gun until 2004

    Please forgive this is off topic but it's good stuff.

    Pat,

    This is some of the stuff that Arne does:

    6.5 PPCX 292 neck 28 inch Krieger barrel 14 twist.
    This is the rifle that shot the...

    I thought no revolver could stay up with, alone beat, my Ruger Mark I semi auto pistol. That was until I bought my S&W 617 with six inch barrel and target trigger/hammer. I was totally astonished at...

    You've done good Jim. I would say with that top load if you eliminate the filler that you're going to see either gas cutting or leading or both. 4895 is hot powder on a bare bullet especially in that...

    Pat,

    Remember the 6.5x54MS is a much smaller case then the 6.5x55 Swede. So the 4895 worked in it and only worked that for that one load that was it. Nothing else near the same burn rate as 4895...

    It's a method that you can't crimp the case and it shortens case life. It's probably just fine with jacketed though. If I use the cases normal the groups suck big time. The best group with my Swede...

    Nobody listens....the 867 isn't nearly as slow as they post on their websites....I know I have some and have shot like two pounds of it already.

    Pat,

    No, I don't find it surprising. See the thing is Pat I've been there done that. I tried a lot of powders. A lot of fast ones. This was in two rifle the Swede and the Mannlicher, both...

    Arne designed the round on the AR15. The bolt came later. If you shoot jacketed in any cartridges that are small bore for powder capacity, such as the Swede, 6mm Rem, 7mmMag, etc. you would want to...
  12. Pat, If you've been following all my posts,...

    Pat,

    If you've been following all my posts, which I know you are, you will see I have found quite a few more better powders for the Swede. When I first started on the Swede I didn't have a lot of...

    Anything that isn't a pistol or shotgun is a long gun. Carbine is a subcategory of a long gun. Maybe the ATF should change it to only require gun? After all they have more details on it in other...

    Pat,

    The 6.5 Grendel hold a little more powder then that the 6.5 you're shooting. With that said there are zero loads for it using 4350 because simply put it's not a good powder for it. Now there...

    That's correct about the ATF and it's for record keeping. It's not in the eyes of the Army. So I reckon if you're in the Army and your superior tells you to go get a carbine and bring it back to him...

    It's classified that way because it has a rifle receiver such stamped. Understand now? It's sort of the same with TC Contenders and rifles. You run into legal problems with them switching frames in...

    I double that, apparently he has never handled a match AR15 or AR10 to compare weight. One of the main criticisms by my best friend is why should he carry a rifle that weighs as much as a M14 but...

    That's because the 94's and 336's were first long barreled rifles, then they cut the barrels down to make them handier...thus carbines.

    The German MP38 had a much much shorter barrel on them...
