What are you currently reloading?

You're gonna like that ADG brass. I run it through my 257PRC.
Oh yea I know, I run ADG in almost everything except small cartridges like 25/6 creed in which case I go alpha. Was just out of stock everywhere when I put this one together last year. The Hornady actually had pretty low SD’s but loose primer pockets after 1 firing is whack. I Actually shot with some ADG guys at the ELR match last year. Super cool guys. I was telling em about how I got over 300 pieces of 6.5 prc ADG brass that are going on 12-15 firings with 156’s in the 2900-3000 range without a single case split. Good product.
 
I just loaded up some 6.5 Creedmoor rounds with 139 gr Scenars. I hope that my daughter or I will soon confirm that @psinclair, @Frequently Banned Troll, and SnowyMountaineer know what they are talking about when it comes to the effectiveness of that bullet on game.

Same ammo in the packs going in for my daughters first bull - tomorrow leaving 3:45am. 5+ mile walk and over 3500’ of gain. We’re not carrying crap bullets for something like that..
 
6.5 PRC
139 scenars
Lapua brass
R26
Tula LRM primers

I followed your process for forming/loading 6.5 SAUM on the hide over a decade ago and recall the Tula LRM primers being favored then. You must have really had a pile of them unless they started importing again since?

I'm still sitting on 50,000 of them.

I bought out Powder Valley when they were $15 per 1,000. The next best thing I've found to them are F-210 Match.

Thats quite the haul! 210M are what I had best luck with when i still had a 6.5 SAUM.
 
Well I went out to shoot some of the loads I have been working up. Not a good day at all. I will start a new thread away from here so as to not clog it up. Had issues with the rifle and what I believe is the brass. Here is a little sample of what’s going on. View attachment 392276View attachment 392277
WOW
The one beside the broken one has a line on it. It may separate as well.
You might want to bring out the new brass. How many firing on that brass.

It is 1X fired Hornady. That other piece was from the first load charge. There was one more that had the same ring after firing. They were from factory loads.

That is screaming excessive headspace at you. How is your sizing die set up?
