I have a TBAC 30P1, I run on numerous rifles. Additionally, I have several precision auto loaders with different cans. I have never experienced what you describe. My only suspicion is that you have cold bore problem not related to the can or a concentric problem with the threads, mount...

The last 3 rifle's I chambered, both with SS and CM barrels, were left raw as the finish reamer left them. I have yet to encounter a problem with this method. I have been reading some on the topic of polishing chambers. There seems to be 2 schools of thought about the topic. To be clear this...

I haven't, seems cost prohibitive for me. I listened to one of their podcasts that discusses the comb on their stocks. Its a interesting listen. Look it up. I like what the gunwerks guys are about and do. I just cant afford anything they touch...……...

Your absolutely right about that! I have thought about that, I just dont see a cost effective solution for the features.

I am building a new rifle in 6.5 and have made some lathe and tooling changes since my last barrel. I am looking for a handful of old 6.5 cal take off, worn out, etc barrels to practice setup and chambering before I start on my new barrel. I would rather not ruin a new one if I can get all the...

Your right, but its relative. Considering most precision rifles are running 16-19lbs, it's nearly cutting the weight in half. By my math I'm somewhere around 9-9.5lbs without bipod or can

Thanks for the ideas I will give that stuff a look. I have a XLR carbon chassis on my .300 wm. I have never been a huge fan of the folding mechanism or the adjustments. I guess I need to give it another look.

As much as I appreciate your unsolicited opinion, that has nothing to do with this post, I have a non sammi custom reamer to address this.

I am in the middle of a new rifle build and want to fact check my decision. I am building a 6.5PRC in a short action R700 with a 22" proof barrel. My intention is for this rifle to be as light as possible while balancing, cost, fit, etc. I have forgone a TI Action for a quality stainless...

Tig weld it shut, set up in mill, drill everything to where you need it. BTW, stainless 416 in general is not particularly difficult to work with. It requires good sharp tooling with proper cutting angles. Different, not harder

Bed then finish, gives more flexibility in the event things dont go to plan or need to be redone

I am getting ready to source a reamer for a 6.5 PRC. I intend to run 140 class bullets (143 ELDX), handloaded, with the option of factory ammo as a last resort. I'm planning to feed from DBM out of a short action. I would like some flexibility to change bullets if I have to, bullets changes...

I have a 300wm, which I have considered clambering in 264wm. If this 6.5 thing sticks with me I may do that. Thanks for the recommendations

I hunt CO and WY, with a fair amount in both environments. Found myself in dark timber more then I care for, but I go where they do......

You can question my ethics all you want. I know my limitations. Before you start assuming anything about me, I probably shoot more then your average 3 shot hunter. My personal range sits out my back door with steel to 700 yards. I am inexperienced with a 6.5, not with shooting. In the height...
