I only do that on .260 Rem brass that I make from Hornady .308 Win Match brass. That's the only cartridge that I neck DOWN. I uniform those necks. Every other bastard cartridge that i make, I neck up. .338 Fed, up from .308 Win. 25-45, up from 5.56. Up isn't the issue with neck thickness, down is. Every single piece of .260 that I make from Hornady .308 Match - even though it's MATCH brass - I always get different cuts on every one of them, when running them through the neck sizer. I'm using this stuff to do it, example if the 6.5mm that I use: https://kmshooting.com/26neck.html

@Peachey, we used my 178gr Hornady HPBT handloads on this one...

By the way. You have a surprise coming for this Fall Shoot. BIG.

That was the SHORTEST build I ever did - and it wasn't even MY MONEY!!! That WHOLE THING went down in 2.5 weeks, DELIVERED TO DOOR!!!... You, my brother, are my hero, on that thing...

@Matt.Cross, you know I upped my load again, on the Grendel loads, right?... WAY faster now...

Valid argument - it started when I handed you that 12.5 Grendel out there on long range day... from vaporware and an idea...

We'll shoot out to 450 yards at night, and I'll run that same load through the 20" precision bolt gun, and it never fails me. It's a good, overall load, for any .308 Win gun, no matter bolt or gasser AR. Same ammo through same bolt gun in this one, the year prior. Tag-Team that target. Beat it up. It's a solid load.

My .308 Win "range trash ammo" that I'll shoot through any and every .308 Win gun I have, bolt gun or AR, is whatever brass I have left over, CCI 200 primers, Hornady 150 FMJ-BT projectiles, and 43.6gr of Alliant RL-15 powder. Works in every gun, every time, and is pretty accurate out to 500-ish yards through any of them. That's what I ran testing this thing, in this thread:

Example of what I'm talking about. Only precision-based loads get specific brass. .260 Remington = reform it all myself out of Hornady .308 Match Brass. Only. Nothing else has every been fired through that gun, ever. .308 Win precision loads = only loaded in Hornady .308 Match Brass. 6.5 Grendel = only made with Hornady new packaged brass, or Hornady "Black" Grendel loaded ammo, once-fired. .300 Blackout = only from handed down, factory-headstamped .300BLK brass; if I make my own, I only make it with Lake City once-fired 5.56 NATO brass. 5.56 precision loads = I will only load those with Lake City 5.56 NATO brass. 25-45 Sharps = only made from PMC Bronze 5.56/.223 once-fired brass. .338 Federal = only made from Hornady .308 Win "standard" brass, or from purchased, once-fired .338 Federal brass. .300 Win Mag = I'll load whatever I can get for that thing, until I get better with it, and I see round-deviation-on-target, that I can trace directly back to the brass differences. It's beast enough, I'm not fucking with it until I get better with it. Everything else goes into the "generic range ammo" loadings.

What are you gonna load with those cases? I mean, what are you looking for from the ammo? Super accurate loads, repeatable everytime? Range blasting ammo? I only sort precision loads that way. I only use one type of brass for those loads (varies on brass manufacturer, by what caliber it is). For Range Ammo, I gather up all that weird shiit and load it with a generic projectile, with a medium-towards-hot load, so it works in all those guns in that caliber... Clutch-hand or brake-hand?... I blew out a green-stick fracture in my right hand on a pretty immediately-violent dune crash, only one ever. That's the throttle hand on a quad. Sucked to get back to camp, and that was the first day on a long-weekend. I drank in a buddy's parent's motorhome the rest of the time, and cooked. Fucked my race quad all up, swole-up fatass right hand. Fucked weekend, but I made the best of it... Put a knife in the palm of my clutch hand, hit the tendon for my index finger 2 years ago - 3 days for a big dune trip. I was out. If I can't clutch, I can't ride, and if I can't ride, I won't go. First dune trip I missed in 14 years... I hear ya...

That's right - no slack...

I caught that, fucker...

Here's a good intro to 3 Gun... Very experienced shooter, right when he got into 3 Gun. HILARIOUS YT CHANNEL, too...

@Phantom30, please, please, please... answer that one, too...

If this is SO bad to shoot these ELD-Ms through an AR platform, and the tips all deform when you chamber them, @Phantom30, then why isn't is affecting my 850-yard downrange performance on those guns I stated above?...

Here's a PERFECT example of what I'm talking about, right in my last post. Misdirection and BS... You have UNCRIMPED handloads, right there. That's not "not enough crimp..." There's ZERO crimp on those. You already stated, in all your charts earlier how you're loading these - BCG locked back, chambering them with the bolt release. The only reason they didn't come out of those cases further, it because the projectiles hit the rifling lands, and that's the marks you're seeing on them. Look at that Blue Monster you have up there - that thing BURIED itself in your rifling lands...

Wow - you are some piece of work. Just to you know, it's not "Oak" or "Oak Armament." It's White Oak Armament. Not that we've solved that, with you eluding to all kinds of things, ... WHO MADE YOUR BARREL? WHAT BRAND IS IT? You misdirect, provide useless information, then try your smoke and mirrors... It's almost like "you don't really WANT a solution" - you just want to post up a whole bunch of shiit that doesn't even pertain to what you asked. The deeper you go, the deeper we get, the more BS comes out of you, and even more misdirection...

She didn't give birth - he got tired of being in there and fought his way out.

Please address this while you're at it.

Hornady White Tail is all SOFT POINT, loaded with their Interlock projectile. Either RN, SP, BTSP. All of it. Have you never seen the warnings about soft point ammo in AR-type semi-auto platforms, and possible feeding problems?... Pics of your bolt gun under a dime would be nice, group count is important. Show me that's happening with a 10-rd group. I'd still like to see you address what's happening with my 850-yard shots, and why it's not opening up like crazy, since my ELD-M tips have to be damaged from loading through an AR-type platform...

I bought a damn gas tube that came with two roll pins. I didn't know what to do with the second roll pin, it's so damn small. I poured a little water on it, added a touch of MIracle Grow, and it turned into a damn whole gun in short order!...

Oh, you were on the website, but it was too much to grab the link to this stock?... https://www.missionfirsttactical.com/BMSMIL-EXD

Use a Geissele Super Gas Block, and pin it. No worries, then. That's my plan for it.

My thoughts exactly. Pretty badass little light, especially for how damn tiny it is.

Welcome aboard, man! Good to have "the other half" here, too. Let us know when we can help.
