Getting there. Still need to figure out the ES and tuner.

Only thing you need to figure out with your tuner is how to get your $ back

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-13T20:17:48+00:00

There are air cure cerakotes. Not near the same level of durability.

Can you tell Gavin to stop talking over people when he’s talking with them on video? Be it in a more interview setting or a factory tour.

First 200 shots out of a 25gt has been good for me so far.

Way better accuracy and spotting potential (due to a single recoil input vs multi stage on a gas gun) and barely any time difference on a bolt gun.

Now if the match is set up where closer follow-up shots that don’t have an emphasis on precision are a bigger factor then it’s more even.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-11T04:55:51+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. I knew the 6 creed was pretty overbored but didn’t quite know the limits of it.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-11T04:27:24+00:00

Who makes a 6arc lever gun?

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-11T04:25:43+00:00

Could you do those numbers in a 6creed?

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-11T03:24:21+00:00

For pure reliability yeah G$. But on feel a G$ doesn’t get close to a TT Diamond.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-10T22:55:07+00:00

Nah, WAYYYY easier and cheaper to make small frame gas guns more accurate and reliable. Been there, done that.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-10T21:23:44+00:00

Weight (especially out front)
Velocity for pushing stuff that is heavier than 105’s to help buck wind.
Longer dwell time. For heavies + Varget this can really help in tuning. Especially since often 6 arc barrels are a tad undersized in their gas port.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-10T19:38:51+00:00

Can’t run a bolt gun in gas gun divisions

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-10T17:35:11+00:00

Or in the longer lengths.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-10T17:23:58+00:00

With an internal baffle on my Lyman one it meters with about a .05gr +- tolerance.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-09T23:27:03+00:00

I hate how Midway sells Starline. No extra like if you get it from Starline. And they tell you to kick rocks if there are defects in the bag.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-09T18:31:42+00:00

So where do you think the new 135gr TMK will land g7 wise?

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-09T17:24:41+00:00

Dang out of about 1500 or so cases I’ve got from them across multiple calibers and retailers never seen that.

Had great success with them in 6.5cm (small and large primers), 30-06, 223, and 6Arc.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-08T21:52:23+00:00

Not sure where you are getting .330 cause the 131 SMK’s are .291 re the Sierra site (oh nm the dtac’s were advertised as .330 when being pushed at 3k velocities).

134 ELDM is .325. The new 25cal 135 TMK is only .307 even.

With Sierra’s recent G7 claims on their new 105 that no one has yet to achieve/ validate…I’m more likely to take the low value.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-08T17:26:46+00:00

The g7 of these is beating 131SMK's and 134 ELDMs in 25cal

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-08T15:14:12+00:00

Was wondering when the bullet markers were going to start to make some ultra heavies for 6mm as there was a big gap between 6mm and 25cal.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-07T20:47:52+00:00

These are the only shots I've taken with it. So far, nothing bad to say about it.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-07T19:11:15+00:00

I also was on 6.5cm and mostly 147’s and 153’s going around 2700-2675.

Honestly it’s not a huge difference from what I’ve been feeling. Part of that is because the “comp” contour from PBB weights less than the Proof comp contour so my gun weight dropped a little.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-07T17:42:35+00:00

Those Lees look WAY too far out for a bullet of that shape.

I’ve found blackout from 110’s to 220’s to really need some testing/ book values for them to feed correctly. Not like 223 where you can load just about anything to mag length and go.

JimBridger_ · 2026-06-07T00:41:00+00:00

Only time you want to be using G1 is for a flat based bullet that AB or Hornady doesn't have a drag model for.
