    New rifle build 280IA

    I have a benchmark sendero 5r .264 barrel and it's incredible! Easy barrel break in, easy cleaning, and shot my best group with it! .908" 3 shot group at 640 yards (non repeatable but I was excited) but still a amazing shooting rifle!! Next build I'm trying a bartlein 6mm medium palma, 5r...

    .204 Loads

    I've tried benchmark, reloaded 10x and 8208xbr with great luck from all three in a 204 and 20 tac. Reloader 10x gave me best velocities if I remember correctly. But 8208xbr throws the 39gr blitzkings into .2-.3 groups from my 20 tac. Best luck with 7 1/2 primers as well

    Anyone running 1:7 twist 6mm bbl?

    It just makes me a little nervous cause the 115 Bergers have been out for a while as well as the 115 dtac's and you see and hear that 90% of people are running 7.5 twists. I'm sure the 7twist will stabilize a 115 better but makes me nervous about shooting a 105 out of it incase it's too much torque

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    I believe it's just the 6.5 creed with small primer pockets. So you'd just have to neck down as well

    That was the only reason I debated the 6mm creedmoor but I just can't get that thought of the 6x47 out of my head so i guess I'll start there. Factory ammo isn't too important to me

    Anyone running 1:7 twist 6mm bbl?

    debating on grabbing a 1:7 twist 6mm barrel for a 6x47 build. My gunsmiths recommend it if I want to use 115's dtacs. Not saying it can't be done with a 1:7.5 but will achieve better stability with a 1:7 twist. Wanted to see if anyone is running a 6xc, 6mm creed or 6x47 with a 1:7 twist for...

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    I love the 243. Win. Think it's a fantastic caliber. But I won't even consider it on this build. I currently shoot a custom 260. Rem which is phenomenal. My only complaint is, it likes to be shot .05 thou off lands, which for the hybrids is longer then mag length, amax can be mag feed, and vld's...

    What's the problem with small primers? Just strengthens the brass doesn't jt

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    That's good to know! When building the 260. Rem I wanted a 6.5x47 but was talked out of it by a few people and I could never shake the curiosity of this round. And is the reason for the 6x47 lapua? If you were to choose a 6mm which one did you prefer the most and why?

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    Well my original want for the new rifle was because I wanted a rifle to shoot along side my 260. Rem when barrel was cooling, test out first hand the 6 vs 6.5, have a back up for when buddies want to try some LR. I'm hoping on the 105's I think instead of the 115's just due to availability and...

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    I currently have a 260. Rem on a stiller tac 30 action, 26" sendero contour, benchmark 1:8 twist barrel with a jec muzzle brake, jewel trigger sitting inside a mcmillan A5. Pushing the 140 hybrids between 2870-2945fps, and the 140 hunting vld at 2890 fps shot my best 3 shot group at 640 yards...

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    I'm looking at something still able to carry around. Looking at a 26-28" medium palma contour I think. 1:7.5btwist bartlein barrel

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    I like the sounds of the 7mm-08ai but just don't have much use for it. I'm thinking it's going stay as a 6mm and most likely the 6x47 lapua

    What would you build with a spare S/A kicking around?

    This rifle won't be used too much for hunting. More so target and plinking I guess. It will come out for some coyote hunts but most likely no much more then that. Unfortunately where I am located you can't hunt with any caliber larger then .275 dia (which is a going problem on weather you can...
