Johnny's Reloading Bench Please discuss your use of the Berger 135 gr in your 6.5 Grendel. I'm curious as to your barrel twist, and stability and velocity. I have 6.5 Grendel and use 123 gr. but often wonder about the heavier grained bullets, even the 140's. Thanks, btw, have all but Creedmoor barrel for a build. Thanks for the great information and the education!

Besides all the great information you provide I believe your demonstration on the length gauge and measuring the distance to the lands of the bore is one of the best I've seen. I always check that measurement after setting my resizing die .002" off the shoulder just to make sure the bullet being used is still supported in the case as it enters the rifling. I've seen problems in AR's shooting very short varmint bullets compared to the long military throats of the 5.56 where the little 45 or 50 grainers have to jump in the chamber from the brass to the rifling unsupported. Not what you want for accuracy. In my 6.5CM if I have room I will seat the front of the boat tail to the base of the neck or if shooting heavier bullets I set the OAL of the cartridge to place the bullet .040" off the lands to provide a proper head start to avoid pressure spikes. Thanks for your work.

I found a good tip on another webcast for how to get a good measurement with your overall length tool. You put your cleaning rod into the barrel and push the bullet out with the cleaning rod. When you're inserting the bullet you will tap your push rod on your overall length tool and push back with the cleaning rod, and do this several times until you feel like you have just reached the lands.

Excellent video Jrb, I wouldn’t change a thing. I am extremely impressed with my 6.5 Creedmore compass also. I’ve managed a couple half inch groups with the factory federal gold medal match 130 grain Berger load. For the $297 I paid it’s such a value. I will pick up a box of the 135 grain classic hunters and do some load work ups also, RL 26 may be able to squeeze out some extra velocity. Although you may be able to keep going a little bit like you said with both reloader 17 and IMR 4350. Would love to see how they perform for hunting now that we know they can shoot and that the compass likes them.

I was glad to see you use IMR4350 in your video. All the 4350 powders are good choices for many calibers. I prefer the Hodgdon when I can get it and Accurate isn't too bad either. They are very consistent and safe powders for many calibers meaning you can fill the case and never have a pressure problem. The Hodgdon4350 is a short cut and the IMR4350 isn't much different and the Accurate4350 is a little coarser, but they are all very close in the way they perform in case capacity and bullet speeds. The Hodgdon is easier to meter. It was not available last time I purchased powder and I had to get IMR4350, so it's been a little different but not much. I always buy 8-pound kegs, so I don't need to bother with getting powder from different lot numbers. Today one needs to buy in bulk whenever they can get it. Especially primers.

John, Another great video. With m y HHSC, you know the is the Hornady head bla bla , I ONLY use mine on brass fired in my chamber, and then drill and tap them myself. Absolutely the only way to get it perfect, only issue I ran into is in my Bergara B-14 6.5 C, Is when I go to load Berger 140 VLD and want to start .015 off the lands to work up some load data, they won't fit into the mag. OAL is to long by .0800. New out of the box Hornady 143g, ELD-X are 2.809 to 2.810 for the most part, but those are .0600 off the lands in my chamber, but they shoot sub .40 groups. So probable should reload the 143g of Hornady's. Sure wanted to start at -.o15 and work up some load data. Guess I could mill out a dummy mag. and load one at a time, but when hunting???? you know the issue there.

Some people talk rubbish about the modified case. It really doesn’t matter if it is 2 thou different to FF. The base to ogive or oal will be exactly the same as in precisely equal to. How could it not be? As for picking a start charge the only safe way without data is to take the specified energy and density figures and look for a comparable few alternatives which are close to it and pick an average of these. It’ll be close enough to be safe. Also, 3 thou id the maximum freed headspace for safety to prevent a waist forming at the head with repeated use. Better to aim for 1 thou or zero clearance. They’ll load fine.

@danelobe25245 жыл бұрын
H4350 ends up being the better powder, If your not staying in the same place, for one reason. IMR 4350 is sensitive to altitudes. I found this out off my bench @700', then going to 5,000 feet shooting prairie dogs. My groups at 700' elevation were touching, at 5,000' they were open and 1". This made it a little harder with the wind, to compensate, with shots past 100 yards. I had 100 rounds worked up with H4350, and the impact and group size was still consistent with what I had gotten of my bench at 700' elevation. Both are accurate powders, but my SD was better with IMR. This was my experience, I hope it helps. Back home I shoot IMR, out west I shoot Hodgdon.

So basically the hornady head space cage is best if you used when reloading once fired brass as the fired brass shoulder should almost always be touching on the fired brass. Which is what you measure the distance from the shoulder to the lands and not from the bolt face to the lands.

Yes, and I see it in my Tikka as well. The scratch gets made during extraction as the case gets tilted and drags before it clears the ejection port. Eject some empty brass slowly and watch it as it comes out, see if you agree. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

can you reload some berger VLD for the T/C Compass?

I've heard the red stuff works great. Seriously.

Instead of spliting a case neck just take a pair of plyers and tweak neck i tiny bit out round with a fired case out of that weapon until it lightly grips the bullet ! much better way than a split case !

is there any data on accuracy of chronograph? in other words is virtually all the velocity deviation in the bullet itself.

There is plenty of discussion out there about the accuracy and precision of consumer chronographs! They are not perfect, but good enough for what we're doing.

Just compare the With a headspace gauge from the hornady case to the fired case and adjust the hornady measurement with the delta

Which stem is that (part number?) I need to order one. My die set only came with one and it does not work with it.

I think i found the hornady seating stem that works for this bullet. It's at least tighter than the one that came with my dies. It's for 143/147 eldx, eldm (pn#397130)

Hi, ever though about trying imr 4831?

Reloder 26 is sounding very good in the forums but still hard to find. Rl26 also appears to burn hotter but lower pressures with higher velocities and very consistent burn.

I just ordered some so I'm looking forward to trying it myself!

I heard IMR 4350 is more temp sensitive than H4350. That true?

Personally I've heard that with all the IMR powders i.e. IMR 4895 vs H4895 too
