6ppc

Hi guys, I'm just starting out in the world of short range bench rest.
I've sourced a rifle and scope.

What do I need to get started? I have so far -
220 brass
Neck turner
Wilson dies (seater and neck)
VV N133
 
You need a good front rest and rear bag, too!
Get some LT-32 and some H322 to try, also.
Wind flags should be on the list.
An Arbor press?
Don’t forget some Imperial sizing wax. Need that.
Also a full length sizing die. Nobody just neck sizes anymore!:eek::eek::eek::p
You’ll also need ten targets. Nine for load development and one for after........you see, once you get a 6ppc dialed in, you’re just shooting thru the same hole!:D:D:D:D:D

Seriously, when I bought and shot my first 6ppc, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven!
Enjoy.:cool:

Borrisserge,

Pm BoydAllen he is a forum member and really sharp on a 6ppc. You won’t be sorry for texting him trust me.

in spite of all the "known" loads and advice try this.

Is your rifle/scope combo. a LV ( 10.5lb or under ) and is the neck a 262 or 268 or? I would suggest a good sizing die made from some of your 3x fired brass. If your gun is used I would have the trigger taken apart and cleaned up. Are you located anywhere around western Pa./Ohio?

Regards
Rick

Best thing to do is go to some matches first. It might save you from having to sell things in the future. Where are you located?
 
Measuring tools for measuring shoulder bump and seating depth are ultra necessary and a Wilson trimmer. If you can have a barrel stub made with the same reamer used to chamber for measureing shoulder bump and seating depth that would be a plus.
 
Wind flags ordered, and I'm on the ordering process of books.

Many thanks for everyone's input and taking time out to PM too!

You may hate us if you find yourself taking out a second mortgage because of your shooting hobby.:eek:
