    What what powder do you switch to because alliant has shut down manufacturing

    Hornady has been saying that's why their ammo speeds are not reaching advertised speeds they cant get powders they were designed with, so they are using slower but accurate powders instead of just not making ammo. It's just going to get worse before its better, if it ever gets better. I have...

    6.5 PRC Hornady brass wont size correctly. Dent on shoulder. Confused.....

    There is nothing wrong with your brass, if you are loading for hunting. But if you want to sale it, PM me with how many and price? Hornady is all I have used in 6.5 PRC and I get great loads and groups.

    6.5 PRC Hornady brass wont size correctly. Dent on shoulder. Confused.....

    your brass will work out fine. I've used a lot of Hornady brass. Just cut back on your lube to a very light coating on shoulder and body and a little inside of case neck. You may have some inside your die. clean it out well too. just turn die down to holder and then in 1/8 turns size and see if...

    6.5 PRC Hornady brass wont size correctly. Dent on shoulder. Confused.....

    You need to show the dent. You have to turn die until it bumps shoulder enough to chamber. So we need to see dent. You may be using to much lube that is causing the dents.

    Winchester XPR?

He doesn't have a scale but said trigger is great about 3lbs he thinks. I doubt it is that good. Anyone have an XPR...

    6.5 PRC best lead free Factory loading for long range

    Hornady CX or Barnes Vor-tx is about all you can find for factory...but going to 800yds in 6.5prc would be hard due to velocity and bullet performance. I'm thinking 650-700 max

    Short barreled 6.5 Creedmoor build

    I have a 18" Bergara barrel with 7" ultra TB can in 6.5 CM. With Fed factory 135gr Bergers I get 2770 fps. I cannot come up with a HL that will get these speeds about 2725 I get pressure with ever powder I tried. So I bought every box of that lot I could find, 22 of them. I get no pressure signs...

    If your oldee is recoil getting to you

    Many years ago, I found every time I shot 30-06 or larger for 20 rds or more, I left feeling a light concussion. Light headaches, blurred vision, etc. So I just do not shoot large calibers much anymore. I stay with 6.5’s, 243 and good ole 22LR. I’ll hunt with my 300 WSM or 06, just don’t shoot a...

    Best compromise for 243 and 3006

    No need to compromise staball 6.5 will do very well for both, depending on gun.

    Is there a FL die that sizes down 6.5PRC to eliminate clickers?

    I have a Xbolt max LR and Hornady dies. Never had a clicker. About 7 reloads is all I get and pockets are shot. But never a clicker.
