    Picking out a 6.5 cartridge

    My Daughter shot this bull yesterday at 409 yards with a 20” barrel Gunwerks Magnus in 6.5 Creedmoor 140 ELD-M at 409 yards. He never took a step. This is her second bull with a 6.5 Creedmoor. She does shoot very well and takes her time for so shot placement

    Cleaning brass - inside case still dirty??

    A few years ago I realized that "wet" tumbling was a thing with products like Flitz and Barry's corn cob liquid polish. Since then - I anneal , decap /size and trim then chamfer , deburr flash hole , brush primer pocket on my Lyman Case Prep Center - the finished cases are dropped into my RCBS...

    280AI with too much head space...options?

    If you are in the Western part of the state take your rifle to Jim at Elite Rifle Works in Nampa. Jim and his brother do great work. He will know exactly what to do. Over the years Jim has worked on many many rifles of mine and my friends and has always done excellent work.

    Epoxy for aluminum pillars?

    I think it was $200.00. I liked it because if anything went wrong they fixed it before it shipped. Since it was their service and their stock I figured it the best way to go.

    Best short barreled 6.5 caliber??

    The 6.5 PRC is perfect with an 18 a 20” barrel if you hand load. Anything longer than 20” is a waste of weight with the right powder and a good heavy bullet. Go heavy on the bullet and you will love your “short” stout barrel in a PRC. In testing for the Mountain Shadow I designed for Axial...

    20” bolt gun

    I see the short barrel as the next big thing. With today’s powders and the swing towards heavy for Caliber Bullets short barrels make a lot of sense. Not just in the ease and convenience, lightweight and cool factor but also the much more stable harmonics. Our testing has shown the shorter the...
