      im looking for some 6.5 Creedmoor Brass if anyone's got any
    • By Yokel Matt
      Started reloading recently and bought a few boxes of Barnes 120gr TTSX for my 6.5x55. I originally went in the shop after some Hornady SST but they didn’t have any and after a chat with the gunsmith about how I was looking for accuracy for more head / neck shots and also reduce shoulder damage with chest shots thought I’d give them a try. It was only after buying them I found a few articles questioning their terminal performance and likening them to amax or fmj!
      Thanks to a trip down to Dicehorn I knew my load was moving at 2840fps on average and a helpful chap at Barnes had offered me some reassurance on expansion velocity (I suppose he would though wouldn’t he!) so we were ok here.
      Early days on the testing them for real but looking promising after a visit to Dorset at the weekend. Atlas joint shot a sika pricket at around 140/150m and the then chest shot a young switch stag at 160 who only made 20m. Tiny exit hole but plenty of damage inside - I’ve seen them go a lot further with Ballistic tipped lead ammo and soft points. Early days but looking promising.

      I'm sure it's been done to death , Is there any sense in reloading 12 bore cartridges with steel or lead for pigeon shooting , I cant see how the ordinary person could afford two three days a week if your buying them .
       
      Cheers

      Hi all
       
      Do you measure your powder by weight or volume?
       
      The Lee manual says volume, others say weight.
       
      For my needs I would need the Lee dipper 1.6 and 1.9 - depending on my chosen bullet weight. If anybody has these lying around I would be more than willing to buy them off you.
       
      I also need a scales if anybody has one? Let me know what you have.
       
      Back to my question of weight vs volume - what have you found is the best way to measure the powder.
       
      I will be reloading the 223
       
      Thanks

      Hi,
       
      I am looking to get improved accurracy on my 22-250. I wondered if anyone knows if people do home loading for others at all? I am not sure I have the time myself and would rather avoid the set-up costs.
       
      How many rounds would it take to break even on the equipment bought to do it if I did do it myself? I probably use 200-300 a year.
       
      Thanks
