Thanks for the advise. Been a long week so I haven't been able to reply. My current factory Hornady loads measure .288. I figure I will use a .287 bushing to reload these. I intend to switch to Lapua brass which I head is a little thicker so I'll order a .288 bushing for these. Pushback is the bullet moving back in the casing when loaded as L Cazador described. i don't want to use a crimper die si achieving a good neck tension is desirable.

Was looking into this die for reloading a 6.5 Grendel AR. I heard it reduces pushback when loading in semi autos. For those in the horde that use this die are you having to buy bushings for it? If so what bushings are you using? Would the standard Redding Full Length Sizer die be sufficient? Guys with other 6.5 size carterages feel free to chime in as well. TIA

I ended up going with a Lilja AR 24" barrel for my 6.5 Grendel build. Still waiting on parts to finish it but I'm hoping for a tack driver

Building a 6.5 Grendel now I plan to hunt with

+1I don't know about that company, but you might wany to look at Lilja barrels. They make really nice ar barrels
I've had quite a few barrels from quite a few different manufacturers and to this day Lilja is one of my favorites. I've had 2 Lilja barrels and they were awesome. Surgical accuracy. Sometimes I wonder why I don't use them more often. Chasing the next latest and greatest all the time I guess...
I was looming into them a while back but they were all sold out. Just checked again and most of then are back in stock! Was looking at the AR24 23" barrel to get a little more juice out of the round for long range shots. Anyone used this barrel in a build?
-
Cool. Thanks for the imput
-
Any one own or have experience using their barrels? Looking at them for my next build.
-
That must have hurt coming out!

I'll have to give them a look. Was looking at Underground Tactical, Lilja and E.R. Shaw. Still doing research on which I like best. Probably going to go for a 22-24" barrel for a little bit better ballistics. Everything I read is you need a longer barrel to get the bullet up to speed.

Fill the holes with epoxy. Shoe Goo might catch since it is a little bit softer when it dries.

I'm starting a 6.5 Grendel upper build. Any of you guys built one and if so what barrel did you use. I'm looking to make a tack shooter that I can shoot long range with. Thanks

I have seen elk shot high in the body cavity with both a rifle and bow through both lungs and they didn't produce a blood trail. The blood all seemed to fill the body cavity and never reached the entrance or exit hole. I respect your guys decision to only shoot one deer if he knew he hit it. Sucks losing something but we have all had it happen.

I have the same tag. If I can find a patch if ground without hunters in it I will be happy. Way to many tags this year

We went three for three this year but had to work for them. That hunt is getting tougher and tougher

They were up at 10000-11000 feet during the second week.

Happend upon this article today and thought it was a pretty good read

Red/ white red devil spoons and 3" fish shaped plastics on a jig head work best for me for the pike/ walleye. I use chicken liver at night for the catfish

Depends on the judge and how the deputy can articulate that his radar was working properly

Ended up catching about 20 small mouths, 5 catfish at camp and one decent stripes. Weather was perfect but the water was still a little cold.

I'm heading to Lake Powell next week for the first time in a very long time. Anyone have any fishing tips for this lake they would be willing to share? Heard the small mouth fishing has been really good lately. Thanks

I'm looking into getting a Nitro 700 LX or 750 sport. Both have Tracker outboards on them. Does anyone know about the Tracker outboards? I have read some mixed reviews on them.
