Yeah and if you look closely at mine you can see I turned it into the EC 'Micro' Tuner....took 40% of the weight off it by shortening the length.
Any one tried H4350 or LeveRevoloution with 105 class bullets in 6mm BR
Thanks

Not 4350, but I tried Reloader 16 with my own 103.
It shot nice round 1/2 inch groups at 200 yards with 33.3 grns, which is just about a compressed load. Velocity averaged 2850 FPS.

I been working on loads for a 1-10 twist Pence barrel. It started life as a 27.5" 6mm Rem AI, after less than 1100 rounds it had 5" of gator back in the throat. This year it was resurrected to 21.5" 6BR Norma no turn. I have about 100 yards thru it, and killed a dozen or so chucks this spring with new brass using 32,0 gr. of 322 w/ a 62 gr. berger out to just under 600 yards pretty dependably.
So after a week of working with that load in trimmed and fired Lapua brass, I found It shot best further into the lands, and liked a little more powder, giving me .250" 5 shot groups when I do my part, and good velocity for 3502 fps. this is my 500 yard and in varmint rifle, not bad for a shot out barrel. Just shot this group this morning, no wind flags and the last shot I knew when I squeezed the 2# trigger it was just a tad high when the gun went off.
Lapua Brass
Federal 205M primers
62 grn Berger bullets, .020" jam
H-322 @ 32.5 grn.
3502 fps
11.2 fps ES
4.5 SD

Not with those bullets, but with 108 Berger EH and am very happy. Start low around 32.0 grains and work up. All 5 shot groups.
Im guessing 32 grns can be achieved with a simple drop? What does it take to get more, up to the max the case will hold, where I hear the maximum accuracy is? I have a 36” tube, but I’m not sure I want to go to such extreme? I have H4350, but very little H4895 left, so this subject has interested Me for some time.
I have heard from veteran shooters “you can’t get enough H4350 in a 6BR up to and through a 6 Dasher, “TO BLOW IT UP”??? Must be true???
THANKS…RR

I don't put much faith in what I read, but I do in what I see when I do it. I doubt those primers are from dangerous pressures, but more likely firing pin specs as well as firing pin weight. This is a Savage Axis action, not a Panda or Batt which in my experience will usually take a little more pressure before blowing primers in those actions,,, Precision at it's best.
But these are hands on experience, or I wouldn't post it. Unlike a lot we see on the internet, if I don't physically experience it myself,,, I don't post it without saying it is hearsay! But I wouldn't try increasing neck tension, to crush powder in compressed loads, and trying this with a 115 crammed hard into the lands, or you just might be able to prove those authorities wrong!!!!
As well as be in the market for a seeing eye dog????

I have been playing with the H-4350 with both Federal 205M and CCI450 primers with the Bibb 95 grain bullets. I am going to call this 6BR Norma in this Savage, a Dasher Beater!!!
No hassle Lapua 6BR Norma brass and no hassles making concocted brass, and over 3050 fps shootin bug holes,,,,, CONSITENTLY! 300 yard 5 shotr in 10-15mph steady wind, out to 170 yards anyways all 4 flags reading the same thing!

Now I aint a bad shot, but sure aint the best guy reading my conditions, and these are all shot out of my Savage Axis, trued and timed by Sharp Shooter Supply in Delphos Ohio, oh ya, and with a 2.5# trigger. But to date this is the results with the same load at 100 yards, the single is a 4 shot .160" group shat the same day the 300 yard group above was shot, but with the 34.5 grains of H-4350 (yes in the standard 6BR Norma case!) in the same wind. 34.5 grains is the load I settled on, and all are shot using the CCI4350 but that one beside the same load stating 205M!
These are the only groups I have shot to date with this load, and it has shot under .25" moa every time. and that last group with 4 shots is the only one I didn't shoot 5 shots in, I used that 5th one to zero at 300 yards for ballistic reference. 21 1/8 minute clicks with a 2" high scope center is right their with the 105 load the dasher is spitting out for bullet drop!
A standard 6BR Norma case, with a 95 grain BT at 3048 fps with the 34.5 grain loads, 9 fps more with .2 more powder, but I think the 34.5 is the sweet spot in my 26" Krieger and what this rifle barrel will be taken to the grave with!! Oh ya and the lighter load still gave me 12 fps to 17 fps Extreme spreads depending on the group, and SD's around 6. But make no mistake, this particular gun is proving quite fond of H-4350 lit by either primer CCI450, or Federal 205M's!

Sling & Irons!
My load for a Bleiker 300M Standard/CISM rifle, with a 26" medium palma styled, 1 in 8 twist barrel:
Norma case, annealed, skim-turned, t/c/d
Fed 205M
VV N-135 26.1 gr.
Berger 105 Hybrid Target loaded .010" off the lands (1.915" CBTO).
I came into a supply of the Berger 105's, and decided to run a seating depth test using a powder charge that worked well on the Nosler 103's as my starting point. the SOLO e-target shows that these are just staying right around 2000 fps at 300M. These were fired from a rest, with iron sights this morning.
Note: the X-ring is 5 cm (1.96") at 300M:

Any body try Re 15.5 in 6 Br with 105’s?
Are you doing this with a straight 6 BR? What kind of velocity are you talking with 105-108 bullets?
I just started to fool around with TS15.5 in my 26", 8 twist 6BR. Using 29.4gr and a Berger 105 Hybrid I got 2,734 ft/sec with SD 6. I used a Lapua case with a CCI 450 primer.
Thanks. Helpful. Will post what I get later this week.
