I've used a ProChrono for years, always has been pretty close, I verify my drop data afterwards. I adjust up or down from there if need to.

I don't know for sure, but I would be willing to bet it may be Hornady. They make their 7LRM brass.

I haven't had any luck finding 6.5 Bergers any where. Them moving their operation to a more gun friendly state explains a lot. That and the 6.5 craz going on now.

I've had my best luck with bushings dies and bumping the shoulder back .002.

I've had great luck with my RCBS 1010 beam scales. Your can always check and rebalance if need to. Just my 2cents.

Plus 1 on the Remington 700, its like the 350 chevy motor, countless accessories. :D

I'm pretty fond of the Tally rings and mounts. All one piece, less chance for things to lossen up.

Sounds like a win, win, win opportunity. gun)

Thank you J E, I for one have learned a lot from this site, and even offered some help. I for one value your knowledge, you have helped me more than once.

I too have been turned on to Wipe-out Patch-out by my smith. I have had great success with it. Just built my grandson a 6.5x280 AI this summer, during barrel break in and load development it built up a large amount of copper fouling, groups were 1/2" and better. But decided to go ahead and...

J E after fire froming in chamber, do you recommend annealing again?

My Berger 140's .100 off the lands. No where does it say you have to crowd the lands, its just most vld bullets like to be .010 off to touching. You say your best group is .090 off the lands, and say your shooting the best group you've ever shot with the holes all cutting each other, that would...

I shoot a custom 6.5 x 284 with a 26" barrel, load I've worked up for it is 54.5gr H 1000, CCI br primers using 140gr Berger VLD's. 2830 fps shoots under 1/4" moa if I do my job.

I have to agree with J E Custom. Experienced this in the past myself.

+1 on 6.5x284 love mine. Most accurate gun I've ever owned.
