Detroit Gun Works 6.5CM Barreled Action

IMG_0817 1.png


So at SHOT Show I found this company off in the corner of the main hall. I saw the 3 Lug Actions and was super interested. 3 Lug Bolt, Short throw, nice looking 700 footprint, hmm... So they are doing barreled actions, as well as complete builds, but barreled actions in 2025 interest me.

I ordered up a 6.5 Creedmoor, they spun up a Schneider 5P, all the specs on the barrel, then waited on the weather.

As you can see, I dropped it in an AI ATX Chassis, this is the beauty of a barreled action buy, you can put it together or have them do it. With chassis, dropping an action in is a piece of cake. Once I dropped the barreled action into the ATX I zeroed it with some 143gr Norma.

Initial results were great, but I wanted to see which ammo she liked the best.


The Hornady 100gr VT is super interesting to us. The speed is next level, just shy of 3200fps, but in this rifle the downrange results were very good. Normally we see a terrible SD with a round going this fast, the DGW loved it in a lot of ways. The groups were very good, under 5/8ths of inch at 100, and the Speed was on point at 3180fps, however I one box was better than the rest so we went with that load.

C7634E48-E810-4D3D-A0BD-0727ED226A8EIMG_0016 1.png


This was the Norma 130gr Load which I believe is the best option for a 6.5CM. I think the 130 space is the right space unless you go lighter. The Heavies are good, we shot the heavies, but the heavies are in the air longer, you have to be on your game. Where I see the heavies shine is in really low SD numbers, like less than 5fps, then I see the heavies exceeding the lighter bullet performance.



as I move forward I will bring you the accuracy results and were we are with the DGW Rifle ...

USMC Unertl locking in the parallax on the objective

Ok... call me a homo! Yes I'm picking on myself! I should be able to figure this out but for whatever reason it's kicking my butt!

So, I shot the M40A1 today and wanted to fine tune the zero a little more as well as set the focus etc... after shooting it at my 117-yard target I then went to the steel plate at 430 yards. If I get the chance, I might be able to shoot the rifle in a vintage sniper rifle match in early Dec. out in MT. That match is shot at 300, 385 and 500 yards. So, I want to lock in the parallax/focus on the objective. Here is where it is at... but how do I lock it in without it moving on me? You can see the gap at the very front of the ring and behind the larger diameter ring.

1730051769905.jpeg


This was my last group for getting a final zero on it at 117 yards. Yes... I was a homo on that high round. Probably too much time playing with all the adjustments and just blew it. More I think about it I didn’t blow it. I did bring the zero down on the scope with the allen wrench and locked it in. I needed about 1.5” down and tried to move it about 1 minute… I think I got it right! Only needed one windage adjustment after my bore sight job and first sighter…never touched the windage dial after that. So the scope is tracking and holding zero!

1730051920851.png


So happy with the 117 yard zero... I moved the elevation dial to 4 and initially moved the fine tune adjustment up 1 click also but knowing the 169smk have a higher bc than the old 173gr bullets and even more than 175smk... I decided to take the 1 click off the fine adjustment. On top of all that for the most part I've been having a tail wind mostly speed wise from 6-11mph. Glad I took that fine adjustment click off.

1730052219024.png

So, for 37 rounds down the barrel... I'm digging it! Average velocity is coming in at 2687fps. No need to run it any faster.

So, thoughts on locking in the objective ring without moving the whole set up please.

Help me decide-Vudoo, Anschutz or 457 MTR w/Lilja

I mainly shoot CF but I will shoot more .22 during the hot months. I recently sold my Tikka T1x which was good, but inconsistent. I typically shoot good ammo in 10-shot groups at 100. The Tikka was in the 1.25-2.25" average w/occasional sub MOA but also some over 3" so it had to go. My price range is max 2500. Eurooptic has a decent selection of Vudoo and Anschutz. The MTR would be my second CZ (600 range in .308). I'm strictly a paper puncher but I want to stretch out to 400. I have stockpiled 10-x and some good Lapua along with the usual suspects, SK match and the like. The Lilja site has 457 for under 600 so the CZ would come in around 1500. What say you? Thanks for the input.

What's the deal with "Aid to Ukraine?"

Recently, I've seen a lot of our fellow "Bear Pitters" kvetch a lot about all the $$$ going to aid The Ukraine. Just so that I confirm my understanding of the issues, I have a couple of questions:

1) Main concern - Is the issue that we should be spending those $$$ for US concerns and not "foreign" ones (i.e. "America First"), or is it deeper than that?

2) Why did the Biden Administration put so much of our $$$ into Ukraine spending? Were they getting some kind of Payola/Graft in return? Was Hunter getting his "10% for the 'Big Guy' or something?" Were they counting on USA based Ukrainians to help them win in an election? Or, perhaps, was it simply to support a group of people that opposed Putin & the Russians? I guess I just can't wrap my head around why the Biden clan was so adamant about sending all our $$$ over there. How did it benefit them?

Finding out you forgot your ear protection, the hard way

While at my outdoor range, if the line is not crowded and no one is shooting rapid fire, I have the tendency to flip my ear protection up so it's resting above my ears to give myself a little break from the muffled hearing. I'll do this when letting the gun cool, messing around in my bag or trunk, or just stepping away to drink some water or glance at my phone. 2 weeks ago, and again today, I made the same dumb mistake. After taking a break, I sit back down, load a round, scope in, take my time, breath, fire, and BAM! Holy shit.. when you're cheek is to the gun and you pull that trigger not realizing you left your ear protection on the top of your head - it wakes you the fuck up!. 2 weeks ago I was with a friend, he was standing next to me and as soon as I fired that shot I instantly put the gun on the table and stood right up. For 5 seconds I was deaf and the ringing was so loud. Happened again today on the 200yd. It pierced right through from right ear to left, then loud ringing. As soon as it goes off you think, why did it sound that way, then the ringing and then you realize just how loud it was.

Not a very high powered gun, 6.5 CM bolt with a brake. But man, catching that unexpectedly with your face that close to the action is a terrible feeling.

Anyone else ever make this stupid mistake? Twice in the span of 2 weeks. Won't be surprised if I just fucked my ears up from that.

Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

In my quest to find a good alternative to XBR-8208 (because it's never available) for my 77 TMK loads, I got 1 lb of N540 to try out. Do any of you guys have experience with this powder using heavier bullets in 223/5.56 loads?

I have used several other popular powders in my search for an XBR alternate, including Varget (too slow), TAC (not accurate enough), Staball Match (too slow), AR Comp (it's awesome but I'm allergic to it...

) and a few more that I'm forgetting at the moment.

Thanks,

BEWARE GOOGLE DNS!

Long story short, after a long career of almost 23 years, my own Windows Server 2003 machine died (hardware death) on Easter Sunday of all days! And so did my DHCP, DNS and Active Directory servers as a result. I was in the process of building a brand new "Ubuntu Server" (Linux based) so I finished that quickly and installed both a DHCP and DNS server. It seems to work well.

The problem is, my Windows client machines won't accept DNS services from the Ubuntu server. It keeps trying to "Autoconfigure" an IP stack that gets me nowhere. All kinds of problems. So, what I do now is use the DHCP part of it and then enter DNS settings manually. At first, I tried dns.google.com (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). It's quicker than most others. But BEWARE!

Google DNS appears to be tracking your URLs/Links more closely than normal. I went to YouTube, clicked on a video, and then it forced me to "Log in" to a Google account to watch the video. Not because it had adult, mature or violent content, etc. or whatever, but just simply "to prove I'm not a BOT." That's right. Just to prove I'm "not a BOT." And it required that for every video on which I clicked. Normally, I don't log in to Google to use YouTube (so it can't track me or tie my views to my account). When I changed to a different DNS provider, and went back to the same YouTube page (without even closing it), the videos played fine when I clicked on them.

I'm not saying that Google (via YouTube) isn't tracking me in other way (via the WAN IP, etc.), but at least they can't link what I watch to a Google Acct.

CAVEAT YouTube watchers!
