One can read all the statistics about each round. But rather hear about other shooters experiences. Looking to do another build and not sure what one to go with. I enjoy shooting steel out to a 1000 yards but want to punch out a little further. Up in...

Handed the reamer over to the smith and he was pleased with the quality. He should be spinning up the barrel this coming week.

Placed order with PTG for a finish reamer 6.5 x 47L just received it in the mail. From payment received took 2 weeks to get the print , 6 weeks later the reamer showed up. Guess i got lucky

First time dealing with them and things are slow. Just received conformation that my reamer just shipped From PTG. It's been about 7 weeks since I sent the payment .

DSA is self funded group. They pay into the organization. This group wants to over through moderate incumbents to take over the DNC. I agree the colleges are spreading the ideology of socialism. Funding for the colleges are a huge sham. A student loan is backed by the government. So colleges...

Everyone is thinking the same thing but it is not the answer at this time. I am sure it will unravel at some point in the future. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it. Especially when the government and the 1% ultra rich is trying to divide this country. The group that everyone needs to...

When I get my 6.5x47L built will try out this load. Have had a few conversations on jamming via jumping the bullet. Most guys use a jump for the 6.5mm bullet. I get better performance out of my 260Rem with .005" jam. You are the first that I have seen jam the bullet besides myself. Have done a...

In the process of building 6.5x47L as stated earlier. Primarily shoot 260 Rem 6.5mm for years. Just testing the barrel out that has 2,050 rounds through it as of yesterday and it still shoots bug holes. If you are going to buy a new barrel take a hard look at Bartlien barrels. I swear by...

I dont chase the numbers would assume they do chance a little. There is definitely alot that will effect performance from day to day. Temperature , humidity conditions will definitely contribute to the performance of your round. Cleaning your barrel then trying to achieve the same accuracy and...

It seems that your statement is so true. PTG has had my order for 3 weeks. Just sent me a blue print of the reamer on Friday to look over before goes into production. It will probably take 3 weeks to make it and 3 more weeks to ship it

Wish I had came across this thread before I placed my order with PTG. Waiting on a reamer for 6.5x47 lapua. They are saying 6-8 weeks before shipping my order.

I dont know much about the cartridge your using. But far as actions go. I own both Surgeon and Defiance Deviant tactical. Bot are great but if I had to just pick 1 . My choice would be Defiance every time. Action tolerance are a bit tighter and smoother. When spec out and action the option you...

Outside of normal bolt cleaning. Every couple months I disassemble the bolt clean up the old lube inside the bolt and pin. Then use a lithium white grease on assembly. Outside of the bolt use a lite coating of grease with molley in it. Never had a problem. Hope this helps

I don't believe there is so much a gain as specifically just shooting the lower grain bullets. Will hand load and play around with it. From what I have learned about a longer FB is you will be able to use heavier grain bullets and hybrid. Will post again once it is up and running. It will be a...

I will once I get it up and running will post it. Thanks
