Thread: A few questions on 6.5 creedmoor loading stuff

Yeah I like the Lee collet die. I run all the fired cases through the action, separting out those that need a full length resize and those that only need a neck resize. I like the way the collet die doesn’t work the brass so much. Still got to work out why I feel slightly less tension on some cases when seating the bullet, hence interest in bushing die. Think I might need to pay more attention to carefully cleaning the inside of the case neck.

@rambo-6mmrem I used Titan Reloading in the US to get in all my Creemoor stuff and a bunch of other stuff at the same time. Arrived in less time than Outdoor Supplies is able to get me a package from Masterton with Fastway Couriers. Economical, includimg air mail.

The decapping pin on the Lee deluxe set is for large primers so a ground it off. I bought a universal decapper and several decapping pins for small primer brass from Titan and now I find that decapping all the diferrent calibre cartridges at once is more efficient for me at least.

The Lapua small primer brass is working out ok as you would expect. Fired 4x now, fifth load just done couple of days ago. No trimming required, no signs of problems. I’m running at 2800fps and a bit over book max but so far so good. Same rifle as you, with Boyds stock, pillar bedded plus exoxy bedded recoil lug and tang. Very very accurate rifle used for goat control to 600m.

Have been reading about this Peterson brass. Hard to get a view on it without actually trying it. Several detailed reviews for Creedmoor suggest it is quite a lot less case capacity than Lapua and hence quite a big drop in velocity. But with the nuts price of Lapua now I’m going to try some, nothing ventured nothing gained.
