[QUOTE="S96743, post: 2602487, member: 109927"] I haven't gotten the gun yet but for an idea the sst should run a 156 comfortably in the high 2900 FPS and over 3000 if you stomp on it with a 26” barrel. And 140’s around 3100? Best to call rich or look at some of the reloading data guys were getting. I had mine made with a 22” BM carbon. Like you I decided on a switch barrel and had a 338 SS spun up on a 22” HCA. IM REALLY looking forward to getting the build. I’m interested to see how the tuebor ti action feels and feeds. It’s supposed to be my new carry rifle. Light and compact. We can’t have cans where we live so I wanted a handy build. If I ever move then maybe I can get a can later. The 6.5 prc is a good choice if you reload but still want factory ammo. It won’t run as fast from what I heard but never having both I can’t say for certain. As for my 7 max. It’s a pussycat with an SRS TI PRO 3 brake and comes in about 10lbs loaded. My girls are petite and slight in stature. They are 3/4 Asian. The gun kicks less than a kimber 84m with factory brake in 6.5 creedmoor with 129 factory ammo. That kicks less than my old 243 pre 64 with 100 gr Sierra loads. For them the biggest intimidation factor was the muzzle blast. I am looking into the mdt brake for the kids but I don’t like the weight on it. Feel free to reach out if I can help in anyway. Oh on a side note. I know you were thinking stock. But with the girl still growing what if you go with an ultralight chassis? You can change it as she grows. Some of them weigh only a few ounces more than a carbon stock? I myself contemplated this but just ordered a standard carbon stock. But my thinking was you could order a barreled action and put together (the two of you) easily with a chassis. Fun times! [/QUOTE]
