To be honest, I haven't found a seating depth that this new CBI barrel doesn't like with these bullets.

I wish I had some br2 to try. I have a bunch of WLR so that's what I am using but they are working great. I used retumbo with my factory barrel and it did great. I would be using it with this new barrel but I had a pound of this new IMR powder and thought I would give it a try. It's doing...

Yes, it's a 6.5x284norma. Barrel is a Criterion Barrel from Northlandshooterssupply

It's a 26" 1 in 8" twist. I am loading them with a .020 jump. Average velocity is 2975 with 12fps SD.

I have been working with these ELDX bullets in a CBI barrel I just put on my savage 111. I am using IMR 7977 and they are shooting great! .35" @100yrds. It so far is holding about .5moa out to 1000 if I do my part. Got a milk jug @ 1000 on the 2nd shot after I got my wind correction right.

Litz has published verified BC for the nosler lrab's and they are not what nosler says they are. I cannot speak for the 168lrab for elk but I can say the Berger 168hvld's shoot out of my 7mm are elk killing machines!

Berger 168gr vld, wichester brass, cci250, 71gr retumbo, .0.005 off the lands, 3050fps. Shot 3, .5"groups last week. I have been on 2 elk hunts with this load. I have shot 2 bullets at bull elk. One@608yrds, one @550yrds. 2 successful hunts.

In the spirit of lrh, bowtech just came out with the Legend, it's a tribute bow to Chris Kyle who also shot bowtech. It's a cp bow that looks awesome

Shooter does it, it is IPHY. " inches per hundred yards "

+1^my 6.5-284 loves 56gr retumbo with the 140gr vlds. 2975 average muzzle velocity

Agree^

Most are g1, pretty much if the number is anything over .35 or so with must ammo it is g1. Berger advertises g1 and g7 but most are g1. Both the shooter app and applied ballistics app can provide a g7 BC for most bullets even if the ammo provider doesn't. Litz has done all the hard work for us

Brian's books will help inform you and give you the knowledge to increase the probability of hit, our decrees the probability the probability of a miss. Cab you do it with out reading them? Probably, if everything falls into place. Just like everything litz explains the g7 form factor will...

Anybody have any idea what the threads are on the xbolt? Metric?

Does anybody happen to know what threads are cut for the browning xbolt action/barrel?
