You all have me second guessing my 450 bushmaster/ar15 with all that talk about magnum autos.(not saying it is a mag, just is a big bore ar) Have you all ever shot a 450bm, if not yet, given the chance would you?

 

[Basher]

Dang Frank, you guys are punching these things out faster than I can keep up! Nicely done!

 

[bobke]

Has transformed my 110 mile daily commute. There’s so much ground to cover, but would like to hear a bit about prepping a barrel for a cold bore shot, OCW/OBT/BTO/DTL and your core methodology for establishing optimal handloads. Barrel cleaning-carbon removal vs copper removal and recognizing/handling accuracy falloff mid match. Thx to you and Mike for yet another contribution to the state of the game.

 

[Lowlight]

Those are pretty in-depth questions and will work on them this week

I have a Remington 700 long action. I want to use that as starting point for a precision rifle. Is it better to fill the action with something like 6.5x55? or just go with a shorter 260/ 6.5 creedmoore?

 

[Lowlight]

Since it's a long action I would take advantage of that. Is it a standard bolt face or was it a 300WM ?

 

[vlGRIMREAPERlv]

It was chambered in 270 win. So I think standard

 

[Fursniper]

Consider 6.5x284.

 

[Lowlight]

I would do the 6.5x55

With a shoulder bump they are doing the 6.5 Addiction I think they call it. Components are inexpensive and you can do some nice stuff with it

 

[vlGRIMREAPERlv]

Does someone make factory ammo for the 6.5x284? I'll look up the 6.5 addiction and see what I can find. Thank you very much for the help. Your podcast and videos have inspired to give precision rifle a shot!

Straight 284 for good 7mm bc

Is the 6.5x284/ 284 a standard bolt face?

 

[Fursniper]

Is the 6.5x284/ 284 a standard bolt face?

Yes it is.....

 

[Lowlight]

Tons of 6.5x55

Cheaper too

 

[vlGRIMREAPERlv]

The affordability of 6.5x55 ammo and with the option for cheaper reloading in the future. I will just go with the 6.5x55 thanks for the help!

 

[Lowlight]

The hIghlight factory wise is that 136gr Scenar load on the right, still cheaper than 6.5x47 too with a lot more velocity.
