    135 smk experience in 308 bolt

    I've searched here and on other shooting forums and cannot gather much information. Well, the lack of information leads me to believe the 135 smk is not a popular bullet. At any rate, I am thinking of giving them a go in a 308. These will be only for paper punching at 600 and less yards...

    6br build - Wyatt internal box

    I am thinking about a 6br build. The thing holding me back is that I do not want to be limited to a single shot. I have done the requisite reading over on accurateshooter/6mmbr...it seems guys there are having limited success modifying detactable mags. It also seems like the Wyatt internal box...
