Ziebart, I hope you're wrong. I haven't gone to the Monday night steel because of the extra fees either.

What's your velocity? Barrel length?25.0 gr. behind 55 FMJ works for me.

I agree about the battery compartment.. Best thing to do is use lithium battery instead of the alkaline.
As long as you have DA, you don't need the wind reading. However, it is nice to have the option. You can find a like new 4500nv unit for less than $300 on other forums.

Cool. Yeah that's almost the same load I have. Glad it's working for you.
I've actually noticed bad grouping with .223 if I've over crimped.

It is permanent but I'm able to flip my stem. Maybe that person over did it with the JB weld and now can't flip it. It only needs a little bit of JB weld in the hole, then lightly oil the tip of the bullet and then put the stem on top of the bullet as straight as possible. the JB weld will conform to the shape of the tip of the bullet. I use both Berry's and X-Treme and have no issues. I did not seal the opposite side of the stem since I don't use it.
I saw a post on this, but the guy who did it stated that it was a permanent thing (you couldn't flip the seating stem anymore). Got any advice on how to do this while still being able to flip the stem?One way to get rid of that is to JB weld the hole of the seating stem on the Dillon Die. You'll have to use a bullet so that epoxy forms to the bullet.
Hard to see but the left bullet had a ring on the tip before I used the JB weld. The one on the right is after the JB Weld.

I'm loading range 9mm brass with 147 gr X-Treme bullets and I'm pretty happy with the grouping (I haven't measured though). They are through a G34 with a 13 lb ISMI spring.
I'm loading:
3.3 gr Titegroup
Win SP Primers
OAL: 1.160
.378 after flare removed
My chrono results:
976
958
957
953
956
Avg: 960
ES: 23
SD: 9

I reload 6.5 for Bolt action rifles and I always purchase Redding Dies. I'm using the Type-S dies.

The guys put on a great match at DSPRC.

I would of been happy if you stopped me if I did that. I'd rather not get hurt.

Ballistic AE and a Kestrel 4000 or 4500 in order to get DA. The reason I stress DA is because you're not going to have a weather station out in the middle of nowhere. If you use the Kestrel's (corrected) Barometric Pressure in your Ballistic Calc, you will need to correct the Kestrel before going out. Plus you may not have the same conditions where you're going (now you've added data from the location you came from). In order to correct it where you plan on shooting, you will need to know your current elevation (in order to get the corrected Baro Press and data). By using station pressure on the Kestrel, you'll get the correct DA no matter where you're at. Your DOPE will change a bit when you have at least a 5000' DA change.
Also, Ballistic AE has the Litz library, uses the JBM calculator, and you can true your DOPE if you need to.

62 gr Armscor Bullet with 25.5 gr of CFE223

Spoke too soon. Just got my items yesterday.
I ordered my 1050 on 9 Apr with all the options. I also ordered the .223 carbide dies. Still waiting on it.

Three of us here are running the Vortex Razor HD 1-6. Awesome scope with lots of eye relief.

Exactly, that's why I removed the plastic piece and use the 0-200m peep hole.

I just purchased a set of the Knight's Armament 45 degree offset sight. I've haven't shot with them much but so far I like them since they are pretty low profile.
The rear sight has a removable plastic piece which acts as the 600 m peep hole. However, it can be removed so that you can use the 0-200m peep hole.

I just got my ELS belt today and I think it's awesome. As long as you're able to add the ELS attachment to other pouches, it'll work. I've seen some people modify some equipment to add the attachment. I was able to run some AP custom 4x4 shell holders (along with my Safariland) just fine. Also, since my pistol pouches didn't come in, I was able to use my Blade-Tech one with the Tek-Lok with no problems.
I like the fact that I can tailor my belt for the stage quickly with the ELS system.

I've never used those. I do use Shooter and Ballistic. They are great.
