I've been beating up this "collector item" for quite a few years. My go to for deer and bear in the woods of PA. 250gr interlok at approx 2450. Surprisingly, 3 shot groups consistently less than 1" @ 100yd Edit: Oops, forgot this was bolt action section.

Yes. NSS beadblast special

My almost 7yo with my 6 creed I built earlier this year. He ask me to take him with me deer hunting. Gonna have to put something together more his size for next season so he can hunt.

That would be an option. But this will be mostly short range for deer till he gets a little older, probably start him simple with a red dot. 223/556 with a 77gr would work great and have less blast, cheaper ammo and better barrel life. I have a remington sps 223 varmint that I don't really use...

Would be welcomed here too. Looking to put something superlite together for my 7yo son to hunt with next year. If pa allowed semi-auto it would probably be a pencil barrel AR I already own, but since has to be manual operated it'll probably be bolt build in fast twist 223 but maybe 6arc...

:LOL:

@Ledzep Looking forward to trying the 6mm offering out of my 20" 7twist 6creed I built recently. Been running your factory 105 black at 2837fps and 95 gr Berger classic hunters for the brass and break-in with great accuracy. Now that I have brass accumulated, I'm about to start load...

TFB just posted a review of the Solus on YouTube. This thread is referenced at the 2:30 mark, Screenshot here.... :ROFLMAO:🤣

Called Hornady and the tech there said that is definitely weird results I got but said there were too many variables to say what caused it. He said my lot of 103eld-x at the factory tested (out of 24" barrel) at velocity of 3032 with a SD of 9 and they had no complaints. He said he'd make a...

Got out today to shoot some groups at 100 with chrono and shoot a little longer distance with my 20" Marksman contour 6 creed. Factory ammo I bought for brass. Figured I'd chrono since I'm around 100 rounds through the barrel. 100 yards 95gr berger classic hunter Avr 2837fps SD 21 over 10...

Lol @ patriot peekaboo! My origin barrel looks like the patriot is taking cover with his rifle sandbagged on the right side of my bravo stock. Didnt know 12oclock was the target, but it looks fine to me

I've also used citristrip to remove multiple layers of krylon. First application took off 95 percent. Second application removed the rest and had scope looking like new. (Matte finish Leupold)

Wonder if anyone has received a complete rifle from Aero yet. Hoping they got their stuff together but haven't seen any reports yet

Yes I read the post about the cleaning and foulers. I did clean every 5 rounds for the first few groups for break-in. Shot 1-5 Black - Cleaned Shot 6-10 Black - Cleaned Shot 11-15 Berger- Cleaned Next 2 groups , (Shots 16-25) were all Eld-x So the 105 Black and 95 Berger showed potential...
