6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 140 SMK with VARGET and H4350

March 18, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Most 6.5 Creedmoor shooters prefer heavier bullets.  I happen to be one of them.  While my favorite bullet for the Creedmoor is the 142 Sierra MatchKing (SMK), it’s slightly lighter, and easier to stabilize little […]

Does the MagnetoSpeed V3 chronograph change group size and point of impact?

March 8, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Does the MagnetoSpeed V3 chronograph change group size and point of impact? For many of us the MagnetoSpeed barrel mounted ballistic chronograph has been a game changer.  As a guy who used to drag his […]

6.5 Grendel loads in a Howa MINIACTION (6.5 Grendel load development)

February 19, 2018 Bill Marr 0

While the 6.5 Grendel is well established in the AR-15/M16 M4, it’s compact size and perceived long range effectiveness have also made it a desirable choice for low-recoiling bolt-action rifles. Effectively a 6.5-7.62×39 with small […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 130 and 107 TMK

February 11, 2018 Bill Marr 0

I’m a big fan of the 6.5 Creedmoor WMD Big Beast.  In my last gas gun load development post it performed well with both the 123 and 142 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK).  In this post we’ll […]

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Sierra 107 TMK and Varget

February 10, 2018 Bill Marr 0

The current trend in precision rifles is towards longer and heavier rounds.  All too often I read about a new bullet like the 6.5mm 150 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK) and go crazy ordering faster twist […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 123 and 142 SMK

January 15, 2018 Bill Marr 0

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 123 and 142 SMK The majority of cartridges in existence tend to find themselves chambered in certain types of firearms.  While there are exceptions, you’d expect to find […]

6.5 Creedmoor

Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor with Reloder 16 (RL16) and the 142 and 150 Sierra MatchKing (SMK)

November 19, 2017 Bill Marr 0

Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor with Reloder 16 (RL16) and the 142 and 150 Sierra MatchKing (SMK) I’ve heard some great things about Reloder 16 (it isn’t reloader, note the spelling) in the 6.5 Creedmoor.  Notably, impressive […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor loads: 6.5 mm 150 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK)

October 14, 2017 Bill Marr 0

6.5 Creedmoor loads: 6.5 mm 150 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK)- go long! Sierra Bullets sent me some bullets that were so new they had literally just come straight off of the press.  Sworn to secrecy, […]

Precision Rifles

6mm BR Load Development: 107 SMK, 95 TMK, 70 SMK, and 55 BlitzKing

October 9, 2017 Bill Marr 0

The 6mm Benchrest (6mm BR or 6BR) is a nifty cartridge.  The combination of a low recoil impulse and excellent performance at the 600 yard line have earned it a great reputation among the target […]

Reduced 308 Winchester loads with TRAIL BOSS!

September 24, 2017 Bill Marr 0

I’ve been on a reduced-load kick lately.  This is a big change from my earlier (and younger) days of reloading.  No longer trying to get the most speed out of a cartridge, I’ve come to […]
