[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 945903, member: 9551"] I am finally shooting my 6.5-06 AI .291 Neck. New Model 70 MOA trigger. Shown here fireforming. Bell & Calson stock was stiffened with 4 layers of graphite fibers in the forend. The Model 70 recoil lug was bedded with Marine Tex gray and Accuglass and Accuglass Gel were used on the sides of the action, the rear tang lug etc. The stock was sent to me (I ordered the upscale pad and long length) from Bell & Carlson with a banana curve to the barrel channel and action inlet. I sent it back and B &C held the rifle for 5 months then returned it as is. They said that the warrantee did not apply because I inletted it for the one piece floor plate. B&C are junk and the Company is not even proud of them. I will send you the letter and I will wait for a McMillan next time I want a thumbhole composite stock. It took a lot of body work to fix the factory inlet. The blank weighed 3 pounds before I started. Now it weights 3.2 pounds. I have wood Model 70 stocks that are lighter. Good thing I got their lightweight model without the aluminum bedding block. After this session the MOA trigger was replaced with the Timney aftermarket and adjusted to 24 ounces. For load development, the rifle wears a Sightron 10-50X60mm scope in Warne detachable rings. I will be using the 129 Hornady SST and 130 Berger VLDs. The twist in the Rock Creek 5R barrel is 1 in 9. I shoot the 140s in one of my 6.5 WSMs I think that VV N-560, MagPro, H-1000 and IMR 7828 will be the best powders. MagPro puzzles me, it is the best velocity powder with 140 gr in the 270 WSM but is too fast for 6.5 - 284 with the 130 gr bullets. It behaves like IMR 4831 there. [/QUOTE]
