High end rifle issue

Hello,
I’m relatively new to posting but have been shooting for several decades

I have a high end rifle but don’t want to bash the company so I won’t post the manufacturer. Need less to say I’ve put $10k into this setup. Bartlein lapped barrel. Nightforce scope .

I’ve been reloading for a 338 lapua. I’ve shot hundreds of rounds now through it and have found a good speed node. SD are always under 10. The best group at 100 has been ,75”. My friend whom has been shooting long range for decades shoots it the same.

My hand loads are all weighed individually within .1 grains of h1000. Same brick of CCI 250. I’ve used a comparator on all my measurements and the shoulders are bumped back .002”. Base to ogive are all within .0005. In groups of five I’ve seated from touching the lands to ten thou off in .002 increments. I’ve tried 250, 300 and 285 all with these methods. All match grade. I even bough a concentricity tool and none of them are over .0002. All Lapua brass. All Redding full length sized with .002 neck tension. I even wipe them down before single feeding them

I torqued all the bolts, rings, scope bases to the manufactures spec. No brake strikes. Put a bore scope down it and can see anything other than minor scratches. I cleaned it too.

i can hit a 3” gong at 500 with my 6,5 Tikka very consistently. I’ve had 1” groups at 400 under ideal conditions with my Tikka. I don’t think it’s shooter error. I use my parallax correction religiously.

I think that’s as thorough as possible.

i took them out to 200 thinking the group would improve due to the fact the manufacturer claim it’s yaw but at 200 the best group I got was 2.5”. Some are over 3” 🤬 At 500 I’d get a hit and then the next shot would be way over a foot off. 2km winds.

Am I just burning money and have a bad barrel?

Help with 6mm offerings

So I have a 6mm CM with a 24in light varmint barrel. When the barrel is toast I'm going to switch to a 308 win. I'm thinking of trading a buddy some work, and he has a kelby atlas tactical action he'd give me for it

I like the 6CM, all I do is shoot from the bench and prone, from about 1-500 yards for groups, but I'm regretting a few things. One being barrel and maybe wishing I went with a heavier contour. After about 5-8 shots I'm getting mirage, And wishing I got a 26" instead of 24".

I've looked through the forums at length and the 6GT and dasher interest me. All I can find on the 6GT is "6 gay tiger." Which doesn't really tell me much.

Im looking for a cartridge that will shoot 107 smk and under, want something easy to load for and tune, and isn't a complete barrel burner. Any suggestions? Or opinions on what your favorite 6mm cartridge is?

The dasher interested me too because its less powder. Less powder for me means money saved to shoot more.

87,000 new IRS agents and brace rule forbearance

Random thought. I've been listening to a ton of different outlets on the details and implications of the new "final" brace rule by AFT and one guy (firearm lawyer who has a YT channel) recently mentioned something about the IRS being able to prosecute someone with up to 6 years (I think that was the number?) instead of the normal statute of limitation of 2 years if the defendant was shown to willfully avoid paying taxes? In this situation with the brace rule, the tax stamp forbearance. Is this why they want to hire 87,000 more IRS agents? Will they be transferred to the AFT to prosecute people for the brace crap? Thoughts? Am I totally off my rocker or should I stop pouring the Crown Royal tonight?

Suppressors Dissaproved-other

I’m wondering if I am fucked on this or if anyone has amended such. I efiled Form 4 on 4 suppressors In April. Just got 3 disapproved notifications in. My dealer did the paperwork on these and submitted them. Do I start over and go to the back of the line? I will call the ATF tomorrow and see what they can tell me.

Cheaper alternative to lapua 223 brass???

Looking for some recommendations for a cheaper alternative to my lapua brass? I have 500 pieces of 223 lapua that I would like to set aside for match ammo and then load some cheaper brass and bullets in bulk for positional shooting and prarie dogs. Have tons of 55gn bullets that shoot great and are cheap I just hate having the lapua brass broke up into 2 different loads/lots.

I was thinking starline if its decent, any feedback or other suggestions? Looking to pick up atleast 500 maybe 1k so I’m not loading all the time for pdogs and practice. Would be nice to have a bucket of loaded ammo.
