    What reloading components have you overbought?

    I'm in that boat with you. I bought a ton of .223 bullets and H335 because I used to shoot my 5.56 AR's a ton, then I went and bought a 6.5 Grendel upper and now that is what I shoot by far the most. I wish I could get the accuracy I want with the H335 in the Grendel, but I can't. Believe me...

    Trying to decide on only one bullet for 357

    If it wasn't for the price I would shoot nothing but 158 XTP's. I actually shoot mostly Brazos 158 coated SWC with No. 9 This is in my old Security Six 4".

    N133 in the Grendel?

    So I quickly look at these on Powder Valley. Both are available in 8#'s. N133 is $293.99 and AA 2015 is $402.99! Wow! I would have expected those to be reversed! It seems Alliant, Hodgdon and Accurate all went way up and VV stayed about the same as before. Strange to see.

    N133 in the Grendel?

    I'm looking for a new powder in the 6.5 Grendel. I have a ton of 120 ELD Match bullets that I want to get better accuracy from. I've tried Benchmark, TAC and H335 and all are OK, but I want to keep searching for something better. N133 looks like it's worth trying and it's available. IMR 8208...

    BE-86

    I too, love the stuff in 9mm. I bought, and still have a ton of the old RMR 124 "multi purpose" hollow points. They are very good bullets, but don't expand reliably, but BE-86 will push them fast and accurately. Also, after being ready to give up, I finally found some good loads with BE-86 in...

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    This was my thoughts, until I noticed my groups open up after about 8 to 10 loadings, (my best guess) on my brass. I loaded the new brass and groups were awesome. I started to pay better attention while seating bullets and it's easy to tell the neck tension on the old brass is not as tight...

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    Ok, this really sounds like what would work best for me. Could you please post a picture of your brass with the markings? Thanks for the amazon link as well.

    Tracking Number of Loadings on Brass

    I need to do a better job keeping track of the number of loads on my brass. I really wish there was a way to mark the brass that wouldn't be removed during tumbling. I didn't realize until I started shooting a ton of 6.5 Grendel, that this is important so I can keep my rounds as accurate as...

    Bipod Mount Location

    I've always shot off a Lead sled when shooting groups and testing loads. I'm planning on getting a Magpul Bipod for my Grendel AR. I've watched a couple of videos on mounting an M-Lok bipod. First Question: Why did one guy mount his bipod about midway down the hand guard? Seems to me the...

    Decided to start Annealing - Here's my setup

    Is anyone else chuckling because of the certain line in a certain movie? :rofl: I know it's the bare minimum, but it seems to do the job. I

    Does Heavily Used Brass Degrade Accuracy?

    So, if I was start annealing my Grendel cases, are the ones with 10 plus loadings on them worth annealing at this point? Or are they beyond their useful life? Also when should I anneal? Should I anneal the brand new cases before ever loading them? One more question...If I anneal used cases, do...

    Does Heavily Used Brass Degrade Accuracy?

    I've got some Starline 6.5 Grendel brass that just wont die. I don't have an exact number of times I've loaded it, but going through the number of projectiles I've used I can say that this brass, on average has been loaded at least 10 times. I don't anneal, so this was used as it came from the...

    Another Question about new lot of Benchmark

    This post contains load data that is safe in my rifle, please don't use this data and work up your own loads safely. I went out today with the new Benchmark lot loads in 6.5 Grendel with a 120 ELD Match. As I previously mentioned I wanted to get back to the velocity I got with my old lot of...

    Issues with Winchester SPP

    I'm glad to read that the problems are with WSP and WSPM. I have quite a few WSR and WLP. I've gone through a couple thousand of each with no issues.

    Another Question about new lot of Benchmark

    Thanks everyone. I hope I can get out with the new loads soon. I'll report the results when I can get out . We had a couple of snow storms, not too big so I hope it will melt and warm up a little so I can go out again.

    Another Question about new lot of Benchmark

    I posted a little while ago about the extreme differences in my 2 lots of benchmark. I commented that the new lot resulted in a loss in velocity from 2520 to 2405 FPS with a 120 grain bullet and 26.6 grains of Benchmark in 6.5 Grendel. I'm reconsidering this after a very poor outing to my 1000...
