Re: CURTIS/RUSSO Bottom Metal and Mags Any update on the long action bottom metal and long action magnum magazines? Thanks!

Rich I am looking at building 2 kids rifles similar to your build. Was thinking of a 260 or 6.5 creedmoor with reduced loads around 2400 fps. These would let the kids work up to long range as they get older. Do you have any ideas for similar loads on the 6.5 ss. Your rifle design here is...

Re: CURTIS/RUSSO Bottom Metal and Mags Any idea on the weight of the bottom metal and mag? Thanks

He told me to just build him a second 6.5 Sherman unless I came up with another idea. I am trying to see if there is anything I am leaving out that may be a viable option. I did just read up on the 270 Allen mag that would appear to have the same bolt face. I was hoping people with more...

My issue is we do have the 6.5 sherman. So it seems like most of the 6.5 cartridges are attempting the same velocities in a less efficient cartridge. I personally love the 6.5 cartridges and would love to find another one. If we did ever want to shoot beyond 600 yards we do have the 300...

So my dad has asked me to help him get a Sake L61R 264 win mag re-barreled. Seeing as how this will be mine one day, I am reviewing his calibers and mine together to search for something new. Between the two of us here is what we either have or already have in the works: 270 6.5 creedmoor 6.5...

Thanks for information everyone. JE that was the exact kind of info I was looking for. More of the why do it? Which inherently means addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

I have one custom rifle built and two underway. In helping my dad get started on a build i spoke to a new gunsmith. I found a difference between smiths that I am unclear as to the effect on a build. Some smiths seam to buy or rent spec reamers for a gun build. Another smith prefers to take...

Me and a neighbor are each having a 6.5 Sherman built. My neighbor deferred to me for the component selection so here are our builds. Build 1: Deviant Hunter Long Action Bartlein 26" fluted barrel - 3b contour - SS - 8tw Allen Precision small painkiller brake Jewel Trigger set to 1.5lb...

Rich I am interested if you have brass ready before I order some norma brass to do myself. I will take 200 rounds. We have 2 builds going right now. I will likely be ordering my brass in the next 45 days. May also need to talk to you about the new throat option you posted about...
