I'm stumped...bolt won't close

You're welcome. I did research on this issue and I'm probably let my barrel wear out. A 6 GT is a barrel burner anyways and after 200 rounds it has gotten a lot better because the first point of wear is in the throat area. My bolt is already closing almost perfectly and extracting well. Once in a while I get a had close but it's gotten minimal now. I have a Defiance action as well.
Does it shoot well?

No sane man would want to touch that Psychopath babbling bitch with a cattle prod.🙄
Social media has given women a place to act out in hyper-dramatic ways to get the attention they have come to crave due to what feminism has done to them. The lie that they are “equal” and do not need the umbrella of male protection/security and love that fits like a puzzle piece to their respecting/submitting and caring for a man.

They’re empty shells who long for something they were told was wrong and will never be at peace until they realize the truth.

M40 New Manufacture Stock

I wish Redfield (Leupold) would make another run of those green M40 scopes again!

The main dude at vintagegunscopes is a pretty friendly guy. I spoke with him at length on the phone and he was really helpful. I'm wondering if enough of us approached him, would he let us send our scopes in, and during his refurb send us the stripped tube and other parts back so we can source our own anno/cerakoting, then ship them back to him for the reassembly. I know the other 2 scope refinshers wont do it, but I've never approached this guy about that. Could be worth a shot. That way we'd have a colored scope, and have it rebuilt by a professional. (could sneak in a mil dot in there as well I bet)

New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

What’s everyone’s accuracy with factory 108 eld ? What barrel and length ?
I'm getting less than 3/4 MOA with the lots I have in a 20" Proof carbon barrel. Typically around .55-.6. Good accuracy all the way to 1000 yards so far. It was stupid impressive at my local range at 600 yards. I really enjoy the rifle.

I hope when I start loading I can match it or exceed it. Velocity has been 2680-2690 as the barrel broke in. It started around 2640-2660. SD around 13, ES in the 20's for the small amount I tested.

Reloading Application to Document the Reloading Process

Data recording. I’m a numbers guy. I keep a written record and then also keep an excell file for each cartridge. However, I learned a long time ago, don’t depend on the digits. Had all my reloading data on my then current laptop running windows. I had not backed up the hard drive in a while (I knew better) had a hard drive crash and lost everything.

Now I keep both and use products from the fruit company. (Apple) Stability problems and issues with hard drive crashes are so much less frequent. WOZ, you’re the man.
I also learned the hard way to back up my computer data often. Back in '88 I was coding a personal app on my Apple Macintosh and had worked real hard for about 3 hours to get what I wanted, then the power went out and I lost all that work and had to start over. I should have back up my work every 5 or 10 minutes as when I tried to rewrite what I had done, my inspiration had vanished and couldn't get back to exactly what I had. I never let that happen again!!

7mm PRC

Berger 195EOL -0.030" with around 69gr Retumbo or 75gr LRT has worked well in a few different rifles/barrel lengths. OAL in a saami chamber is roughly 3.400".
190 Atip with 64.5gr H4831SC also 30 off has shot great as well. OAL around 3.395" in a saami chamber.

Obviously be smart, confirm your distance to the lands and start low/work up the powder charge. CCI250's and Hornady brass is what I have used so far. If you're using Peterson/ADG or Lapua, I'd start at LEAST 2 grains lower.

If you don't have those powders I use a number of powders and bullets in my guide.
Great info, thanks!
