I have a Tikka CTR mag I can seat to 2.90 in, comfortably, for one gun, the other, a T3X with the M+ mag, won't accept it, yet I see other folk with an M+ mag, and it's marked M+, that will accept it, that's magazines for you, I can physically see the difference between it and another M+ mag and a std T3X mag on the insert thicknesses.. Mr Dremel is a pretty cool dude in my eyes, lots of room there to modify those mags. Guns are within .002 of each other on CBTO and CBTD. Life with guns.
I picked up another 8 pound jug if H4350 here locally. The next day they had 2 more jugs on the shelf. Really wanted to get those as well but I've got 3 rifles that are close to completion, thus, gotta save some money for those
It’ll be interesting as I’m about to partake in the same journey. Trying heavier bullets, which will end up jumping at least 75,000 to over 100,000 to fit in the magazine.
Good morning from New Zealand. I have been watching your channel for a while and not because I'm a competitor, but because I want to reload better! Some of it is not worth pursuing to reload for a hunting round. But I sometimes struggle understanding what you are trying to explain. Point in question and sorry if this sounds thick to you, but what is "ES" please? I hunt with a Tikka .243Win Aspire, metal trigger plate and a set trigger. Firing Norma brass, 90grn Hornady ELD-X bullets over 42grn H4350 powder. Half inch group at 100Yds and three inch group 400Yds. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@toddb930 thanks for that, I should have known. I reload in batches of 50 then go to my range and put five over my chronograph at a 100yd target, mainly to check the velocity and adjust the drop chart on the stock of my rifle. My last ES was 23fps and an average increase from 3050 to 3115fps (it was a different batch of 50 brass)! Still fine tuning my reloading to improve this without doing too much work. Thanks for your reply.
@toddb930 Yes, but I have lived and worked in a few other countries too. I'm originally from England and have been in NZ about 35 years, but with a five years stint in Adelaide South Australia. I was predominantly a black powder shotgun competitor shooting at the World MLAIC championships, for NZ & OZ. I did 7 years hunting with a BP patched round ball rifle, but met a lovely lady who hunted with a 7mm-08, so I went modern. I should have done it years ago. I arrived in Christchurch NZ and stayed there 9 yrs, moved to Dunedin for 7yrs Adelaide for 5yrs, rest of the time in a coastal community by the Ashburton River. All in this paradise we call the South Island of New Zealand.
Keith, can you please explain maybe in a near future video what is happening with a rifle when you find a load with a low ES & SD? If you discover a group that tight, is low ES and SD critical? What’s the disadvantage? I am at this exact time developing this same 6.5cm with the same component except with small primer Alpha brass with Federal primers. Just a few tenths of a grain difference and I get wildly different ES and SD.
We will be connecting the dots when we do final load development. Excessive ES cannot be tolerated in either sport. The intent is to avoid that during fireforming.
wasting you time with creedmoor i shoot long range shoot all time i win alot (i,m 83) nobody ever wins with a creedmoor 6.5 x47 will shoot circles around it and more speed 39.6 vv550 2850 fpc with 140 berger like your channel
Super interested to see this process unfold, see ya in the next one!
Magazines are a huge issue. A video on what you need to do with that and max OAL vs CBTO would be great!
What's there to do? If it has to fit the magazine the overall length can't be too long. Subtract a bit more than max mag length for some leeway.
I think Lonepeak actions offer a medium length action for long mags??....or...shorter throat/lead when chambering.
Always great content! - Thanks fer sharing!

That is pretty much the same load I am shooting, I have no problems jumping 30 thousandths with the 140 inside of mag length.

ES stands for "extreme spread". It means the higher velocity minus the lower velocity.
@toddb930 thanks for that, I should have known.

@@richardt.4224 -- are you on the south island? My wife and I visited the south island in the early 90's. That is very beautiful country.

Shoot bigger sample sizes - it might surprise you!
nice
Keith so the loading procedure prior - the 284 you were checking for POI now you looking for lowest ES - now I am confused😮😮😮

I think 6.5 creedmoor will do great in prs
Morgun King kicks ass with one and in NRL hunter shooting 156gr Berger EOL’s
What bullets do you use on the 6.5 Creedmoor?
140gr hybrid target bergers….1st video stated
Time to unsubscribe
I must be missing something here. Why do you want to unsubscribe???
@@MichaelMiller-ww9iyhe is a 6.5 cm hater
He has chosen 6.5 cm to shoot, doesn't seem like he hates it too much?
@@johnmurphy7554 No Anna, not really, just wondering why people are beating Keith up for shooting 6.5 creedmoor?

You must be shooting against blind people then. 😂
