Planning first full rifle build

Have played around with upgrades on my handguns and built up ARs from scratch, but got the long range bug last year. Currently have a Bergara Premier Comp in 6gt and have got that dialed in. So brain is jumping to a new project.

Interested in a 6.5 PRC build I can hunt with (no real long shots for hunting) and take out to distance on the range. But definitely some new things I'm not familiar with. Looking for some help to ensure I understand exactly what I need.

Plan is to start with an Impact 737r SA. I've read some people lean towards a medium action for 6.5 PRC in case they have long COAL on heavier bullets, but read plenty get by with the short action. But wanted thoughts as I'm certainly fresh to this cartridge.

Was going to pair with a Proof Carbon sendero profit and an AG composite stock.

Where I get lost is bottom metals. Especially with the 6.5 PRC being a larger round for the short action I get lost in the details. Not sure what I need here or what my options are. Do want a detachable box magazine.

Just looking for insight if the action is a decent choice for the round and to fill in the gaps on bottom metal and magazine options.

The darn dillon 9mm sizing die hour-glass shape

Hey there,

So I have been loading 9mm for years using a loadmaster and lee dies and have made thousands of rounds that always came out great and looked great. This past year I have been using a dillon progressive and decided to buy the dillon 9mm dies for the heck of it. I was confused after my first few resizes after seeing a crazy hour glass shape on the case and an even worse bulge when seating the bullet. I know the bulge isn't really that uncommon with 9mm, especially being a tapered case, but the dillon dies made this shape very exaggerated.

Sooo my question is for those that use the dillon 9mm sizing die, do you just simply put up with the look? I have done some research to discover this is very common with the dillon 9mm sizing die but let's be honest we still care about looks as well as function or none of us would tumble our brass until it's shiny. I'm debating using my lee die or buying a new die altogether for the xl750 but I just wish the dillon die didn't make such an ugly weird shaped case. The die itself is very well made and has a larger opening to assist with progressive loading which sounds good on paper but I don't know if it's worth having butt ugly rounds that look defective (even though I know they are 100% perfectly fine if not better for some pistols.)

Opinions?

Savage AICS DBM choices?

Building a new stock for my old Savage 308. Right now it sits in a Boyds Pro Varmint I bedded it into 10 year ago, which while serviceable, is a bit short for LOP and I just dont care for how it tracks under recoil. I pulled some really heavily figured cherry and some curly maple off the shelf and glued up a nice blank. My original game plan was to just reuse the stock Savage DBM and factory mags, mostly because they are old school blued steel, and I kind wanted to keep this rifle looking old school other than the SSTL Criterion barrel it currently has. Also plan on adding in some LRI pillars (will require a bit of modification to work with a Savage) and the LRI cheek riser. However, after looking at how the factory profile of the inlet, I decided I want to increase the thickness of the inlet under the front action screw as wood stocks are prone to cracking in front of the magwell. I also plan on a crossbolt in the front and rear of the magwell to help with that.

So other than the Savage factory part and Atlasworx, does anyone know of anything else? Im looking at the profile of the Savage and it looks really wide in comparison the Atlasworx which I think will cause issues with inletting as I dont want that wider and rounder profile of it.

22 Rifle lands / compare discussion, significant differences

The bore shots are labeled by the MFG below. Its interesting to see the differences in design, finish. All 3 were fired 1 day prior, Bore snaked only to clean.

CZ 457 - Clean defined edges on lands and bore is super smooth.
Volquartzen (VM-22) - still fairly defined, definitely the shiniest finish. I can't turn the borescope brightness down any further. The finish is like a mirror.
Vudoo - Notice the lands at the chamber are beveled about twice the length. Bore is not as bright but maybe the bore snake didn't clean as well.

The differences are pronounced in land / bore construction. There looks to be slightly different size lands too. All 3 for these shoot sub-moa at 50, It's sometimes a close tie on grouping but Vudoo always wins. They all have cold bore POI difference. Volq and CZ shoot very similar using the same ammo. I shoot SK Rifle match or Lapua Center-X. Vudoo loves X but SK shoots almost as good, just more flyers when X has hardly and or certainly much less. That's a bit of background on her rifles.

Just thought it would be interesting to show the differences, at least here's a reference. Perhaps we can build this thread with other 22LR similar bore shots. I would like to see a Anschutz, KIDD, RimX, Bergara, Tikka etc and other rifles, mostly used in matches.
