    6.5 Creedmoor


    Just finished brass prep, weight sorting and priming of 150 6.5 Creedmoor Lapua SR primed cases. Will be loading 140 gn Berger Hybrid Target bullets over 39.5 gn of Norma 204 set off with BR-4s. Have another batch of 100 Starline .223 cases sized, wet tumbled and in the dryer for next time. Whatta Hobby!

    Sounds like a plan :)

    I hate trickling powder. My Lyman automatic does a decent job but is only within 0.1gn. Does your RCBS consistently throw less than 0.5gn charges without any extra 'fiddling'.

    Me too. The Matchmaster easily throws to .02 gn, that is 2 one hundredths of a grain which is the weight of a kernal of Varget without any additional work. I seat a bullet while the machine is getting my next load ready to charge. I used a Chargemaster for years and trickled the difference. At my age it's way easier to use the Matchmaster unit. Whatta Hobby!

    That was kinda what I hoped you'd say, but, now I have to save up my pennies :)
