Hey Gavin, I shoot benchrest and I've noticed that since I started annealing every firing that I actually get better consistency with higher neck tension(2-3 thou) than I did with 1 thou which I used to use when I wasn't annealing. I believe the softer annealed necks held onto the bullet less tightly resulting in more inconsistent ignition. Having the additional neck tension cured the problem for me. All your groups had two touching and one out which could be a sign of something being not quite happy. Just food for thought! Nice shooting and nice rifle.

Fantastic build, great gun and round for the job vid, When I resize a couple of hundred or more 308 cases I use raw wool grease and a pad, I dab a bit of the grease on some cases and roll the the cases on the pad, works well and slips through the progressive press really easily, but you do have to wash the cases in hot water with a bit of dish washing liquid and stick them in the oven for 30 or 40 minutes at about 60 degrees c to dry them, but it is still a very fast way to size a big batch of brass

Love you videos- great to see the younger generations take interest. My dad, Uncle and Grandfather were Expert Marksmen in the military.

Back in Oct we had our PRS season finale. (monthly club) I shoot gas gun in 6 ARC with a vortex viper pst gen ii scope. We finished our last stage of the match and I asked a few of the guys on my squad if I could look through their glass at our last target. (I wanted to compare because I knew I needed to upgrade this winter.) While I'm comparing scopes my friend says "I have some rounds left. Go ahead and give it a test drive." At first I was like nah, I don't want to get spoiled. He finally talked me into shooting his rifle. I don't have all the specs on his rifle but I do know it's a 6 GT through a 26" bartlein heavy barrel with a burris xtr 3 scope. (Barrel spun up by 5x5 precision) Yep, I never should have shot that rifle. After I adjusted for wind (Initial wind call was .3 left, ended up holding straight up.) I went 4 for 4 at 875 yards. I seemed sooooooooo easy. Hardly any recoil at all and with his glass I could pick up trace pretty easy. 6GT, for my 7 round experience, is fantastic! I'm just torn, do I go with dasher or GT when I switch to open bolt division? Decisions decisions.

My groups average .23 at 100 even in our FL heat. 650 yards holds similar MOA.

@gavintoobe After watching a few of your latest videos I've come to notice that you are always starting with new brass.. Which fired / used brass cleaning method do you currently prefer? Specifically, have you decided on one due to the amount of carbon it leaves in the neck for lubricity, or are you doing something like ultrasonic trying to remove as much as you can to get the brass as close as possible to the unfired factory state? I've seen some comments about scratching projectiles and "jumpy" seating pressures on the AMP gauge when folks remove the carbon completely from the neck but clearly as you are loading with new brass this can't be much an issue or is it? Thanks again for the great content!

Watch the 6.5 Guys videos on the 6x47. They could not get the consistency with it that they got with the 6.5x47. The creators of the 6 GT have a video where they comment on this. They said that H4350 was too slow for the 6x47 and that Varget was too fast. They went with a cartridge length that was optimized for Varget and for good feeding out of AICS magazines.
@ironair67 7 ай бұрын
There are about 20 powders between 4350 and Varget in burn rate, so you should be able to find something that works in the 6x47L. I've read the issues with consistency, does that mean flyers, were possibly related to reamers with incorrect clearance in the neck. Too tight.

Since I do use an expander mandrel on the necks after running through the die, would you suggest I go with a .265 for now since the wait is who knows how long for the .266?
