I been playing with a savage hunting rifle in 6.5 creedmoore. it has shot ok. i had 50 new hornady cases and two boxes of hornady factory loaded. shot some factory's to set up my dies. shot some new brass. i decidied to do some checking on the brass. I guess im used to lapua brass..this hornady brass was poor quality. I found as much as 5 whole grains of weight difference in the cases. i mean after checking some of it out and preping it. as well as i could,i kind of think i have had win brass better than this stuff. now this is my opinion and i am used to lapua brass.
CAN CASES BE MADE FROM 22-250 LAPUA BRASS? i kind of heard that somewhere.
the best i could match up cases after preped was about one and a half grains. and that did not leave me many.
but the rifle did shoot better on those cases than it did just shooting them randomly. on the preped cases i was able to shoot 1/2 moa 3 shot groups. with two of three in the same hole. so the rifle is ok. the cartridge has shown me it can shoot and is not real finickey.now wonder how well one would shoot in a custom rifle with high quality match brass. oh man the custom rifle wheels are turning.
ah i posted this in the wrong spot.
