Bump for a nice rifle!

Loaded some lighter loads velocity down around 2750 fps brass still stuck. Going to keep using the nosler brass. Thanks for the input.

I guess I was under the impression that the Hornady brass was the way to go because of how well our creedmoors shoot factory ammo. I have zero signs of pressure(with exception to not being able to get the case out) Lance you are right I had 2864fps with 56 grains of Retumbo 215 match primer 143ELDX Nosler brass, 2962fps with same load in Hornady brass. The Hornady brass is heavier.

Could be the problem. Midway USA advertises their Normandy 6.5-284 as Wichester(norma) as I have it shown here. The box lists it as 6.5-284 the cases seem to measure exact. It appears though that the Normandy neck is thicker.

Thanks for the info

This is my current group with Hornady brass.

I have a Savage 6.5-284 norma had originally bought nosler ammo to shoot for barrel break in and then have been using the nosler brass for my reloads. My first reloads were with the 140 eld and nosler brass had decent groups but wanted to switch to the 143 ELDX this year. Started working up my loads with the nosler brass found my tightest group. In the mean time my Hornady brass arrived. I loaded the same load with all the same components except for the Hornady brass and the group tightened up to right at 1/2 inch at 200yds. But will not pull the brass out once fired. Round goes in easily prior to being fired, they cycle just fine. Hadto use cleaning rod through muzzle to gently tap out. Same exact load in my nosler brass does not stick once fired, but groups are not as tight. Any thoughts from the experts?

No I cant let the scope go with it. Its currently on another rifle now, and wont separate.

Yes, I do still have this rifle. Would like to sell.

Final price drop $2500.00 firm, smoking deal on a great rifle.

Wacem44 I'll keep this in mind, going to let it ride a while. Its such a good rifle I am really torn on even getting rid of it.

Bump
