I would go 22 arc, grendel, ppc.... better boltface options down the road than the Valkyrie. 22br would work also, but brass is very expensive compared to free .223 on the ground. Anyone who enjoys shooting should have a 223 bolt gun. Start there.

My setup: Cheap 24v 20a power supply, turned up to 27.5 1000 w zvs Clicker relay Water cooled Going through 40 peices of 6.5cm starline it runs up to 14.5 amps on 90 percent of them. The rest hit 15+ amps and get a solid cookin. Timer is set for 5.1 seconds. Anybody have any suggestions on...

It not often a 1/2moa load will work between different brands of brass. I ran lapua 6.5x55 vs ppu over the chrono with the same load, It was something like an 80fps difference. Full length sizing and annealing could make a difference.

My sporter 243w acts like my varmint 6.5cm. Both unbraked. With a brake on the 6.5, you will be tempted to get another barrel for your Impact.

Lapua brass will supposedly have less powder capacity, should be even closer to dasher.

I've peirced 400's in 223 and 6.5cm. If you are chasing velocity, start with a mag primer.

Measure the go and nogo with a comparator set and compare that to new brass and fired brass from a good gun. Post all the numbers, I want to know what you've got. You have to use the same comparator and calipers for all the measurements.

With a 1.35 action, I would say a 1.25 blank is all you need. Savage runs a short 1.12 barrel nut tennon for the longer 338lm cartridge. I can't see 1.250 being a problem.

The 245 berger calls for a 9 twist, no way I would go 8 shooting cup and core bullets.

I wish I shot enough to worry about barrel life on a 223.....

I have an Argos btr gen1 6-24 on my 12FV Savage.....in 6.5CM. My sample of one has been a lot of fun for the the 5 years Ive had it. I would suggest it to all the poors who want a fun range gun.

I'll take an 1/8" slimmer p365. I like the slide width and length of the lcp and the grip length of p365. I'm too lazy/uneducated to build this fantasy gun myself. I would wager people would love it.

The appeal to me would be utilizing the smaller diameter cartridge to make a thinner gun.
