Time to make the donuts....

Long range bullets nice

 

[jimmymac]

This bullet testing thing really does lead to a lot of component usage and barrel wear!

 

[D Coots]

Time consuming, but free practice.

 

[David Conder]

If your bullets don’t have plus 1tenth on side of 0 that is what shoot for mine have 0 run out on my 6mm BT an they shoot small 1 to zero

Still working on the 108's in the 30 PPC it's starting to look promising.
I only had 5 rounds loaded at this charge and primer combination.

are you shooting N120?

 

[20PPC]

are you shooting N120?

Yes that was 29.8 gr with Ginex primers it seems to like them better than 205m's.

Several shooters in our area are shooting the 30PPC as well. I have a .332 neck zero Freebore reamer for the 30PPC that several have used to chamber barrels. My first Score Rifle was a R/L Farley 6PPC that I simply screwed a 30 PPC barrel on to.
Way back when, we shot 4227 in the 30 PPC. It was very accurate at right at 3000 fps with a BIB 112.
However, that combination with the 4227 that existed then was a tad finicky. You could go from stacking one bullet atop the other to not being able to get the bolt open pretty quick.

That was when N120 was not available stateside. N-120 solved all of that once it became readily available.

The only reason I quit the 30PPC was the hassle in making cases. You first had to make the 220 Russian into a 6PPC, then blow them out or neck them up to 30, then neck turn, then shoot them possibly twice to get them ready to go to the line.

Now that Alpha has their excellent 6PPC brass, the 30 PPC is no more difficult to make than a 30 BR.

Detch dies are real good

Jackie,
the 29.8 load is running 2960.
I tried 30.5 and 31.0 with no hard bolt lift and the primers were still rounded, 31.0 was running 3080 fps but had a lot of vertical.
I'm using Alpha 6.5 grendel brass which made for easy forming.

The day is off to a good start when the Capstone invoice hits my 'In Box'.

 

[David Conder]

Al how many are coming

 

[AlNyhus]

Al how many are coming

Just 8,800 to split with a pal.

A tiny guppy in the sea of bullet sharks.

First lot of very nice long range 6mm 103gr bullets. The first target is showing me very good things! George's dies are spectacular and makes a wonderful bullet! Jackets are J4s. Got another 500 lubbed and ready to core seat and used a handy dandy 3d printed funnel thats threaded to fit wide mouth mason jars to make it easier to get jackets lubed....
