I bought 100 pcs from creedmoor sports today

Just received a message that my 800 pieces of headstamped ADG 7-6.5 PRC brass will be here early June, I was told it’s going to be necked up to 7mm and ready to load…..
YAHOO !

Please excuse my ignorance on this topic. Are people preferring to neck up lapua brass OR is the ADG 7x6.5PRCW brass preferred???

 

[Sandstorm]

In my world Lapua rules.
However im always willing to explore anything new.
Only just started testing the ADG.. TBD

I haven’t used Lapua for 7-6.5 PRC so I can’t comment. I can say that ADG has performed very well for me through four firings. So final verdict still pending. Zero complaints so far.

This is why I am intrigued. I've been a Lapua guy for my cartridges but now I can't get any for my 6BR and then Lapua doesn't make brass for my 7 SAUM so I've shot a lot of ADG. I think both both make good brass. I'm considering a switch down the road to the 7/6.5 PRCW and am trying to find if a particular brass is the no brainer or if it's 6's.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Both Lapua and ADG are excellent. You avoid some issues asociated with necked up brass with ADG. If going no turn Id prefer ADG.

 

[WeatherbyFan]

My gunsmith and I used a no turn neck reamer for our builds and I have used Lapua 6.5 PRC brass necked up with great success so far, I use the Eric Cortina Body Die Mandrel with the .282" mandrel.

I do have a bunch of the ADG brass coming, nice to have proper headstamped brass as I will have 3 rifles chambered in 7-6.5 PRC

Ive used both Lapua and ADG brass in several cartridges and both are excellent

I picked up a brick of ...White River seat a lot firmer and I had to use a primer pocket cleaning tool to get them to seat flush. ..

Exactly what I found. They're the only primer I've ever used that needed major crush to seat flush, so bad in fact I had to use my old press priming arm to make them flush. I have subsequently cut all pockets to full depth with a Sinclair carbide cutter and possibly a third of the Lapua cases needed a definite cut to get full depth down to the stop.

Testing done at 600yds

2990s. That is smoking. What length is your barrel? Nice shooting by the way.

Thank you. It’s a 32” barrel. I’m trying to decide which powder to stock up on. RL 16 and 555 both shoot well but I like the fact that the node is about 0.2 tenths wider with the 555.

 

[Sandstorm]

I found that pushing them above 2960 was giving me clikkers after a couple firings, but
not so in the lower node around 2905 with N555 and 180 HYB ..your MMV
Every one's set up and chambers are a bit different, ..............just my findings with my stuff.

Yes I am also dealing with some clickers. The 4831sc seemed to give me the worst signs of pressure especially on the high end. This is my first f class rifle so I’m still experimenting and trying to learn this cartridge. First I sized my brass just enough to where it would chamber easily and that was about .0025 bump and that gave me clickers right away. The next firing I bumped the shoulder a little more about .003-.0035 and even tried some at .004-.005 and both definitely helped. I think .005 bump is a little excessive so I’m going to aim for about .0035-.004 because that seemed to work well without being excessive. I also switched to a Cortina precision mandrel die and I think that helped as well.

 

[Sandstorm]

Its the bottom of the brass that swells and you need a .535 dim at the .200 line in you chamber
and be able to size your brass back down to .532 to keep from getting clikkers from
what i found, The lower velocity node has helped keep the Brass from growing excessively in my chamber.
You will find your own sweet spot with all this im sure.

Are you looking at the velocity based on .2 gr increments based on yellow, purple, orange for the N555??? I’m just trying to learn what you guys are looking at. Thanks

I’m mostly looking to see where they cluster. I don’t necessarily care about the velocities if they cluster good on target. N555 looks pretty good from 56.4-56.8

Oh okay thanks flor clarification. Like I say I’m novice. I’m also switching to a 7SAUM TO 7-6.5PRCW.
