    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I've got a 19" Osprey 6mm CM, no problem on good speeds at 18-19", no experience with shorter than that. My loads are 103 ELDx at 3040 and 108 ELDM at 2900 with H4350 and Lapua brass.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I did, its actually 18" and weighs 38.5 oz on my scale. The can is a Thunderbeast Ultra 7. I think its great hunting profile. To compare, I took off an unfluted 18" Prefered Barrel Blanks #2 Sporter in 6.5 CM that weighed in at 46.4 oz. So in the barrel swap I saved about 8 oz for the same...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Just got an Osprey prefit in .223 Wlyde, .062 freebore, .750 taperless. I broke it in with cheap 55gr. fmj ammo and it did not particurly like it, hovered around 1.5-2" groups. About 100 rounds in I finally fed it some handloads and it perked right up. Just a load I threw together with no...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I may have a fast barrel or either the 6 Creed does great in short barrels. Tikka Peak 44 Bastion 19" PVA, 3B (not a prefit, just the blank) Shoots pretty much everything very well. Lapua CCI BR4 42.3 gr H4350 103 ELDx at 3040 fps Peterson CCI BR2 41.4 gr H4350 108 ELDm at 2995 fps Lapua...

    My origin has an early serial number of 013xx and it runs the SA hunter mag just fine, fwiw.

    20” 6.5Creed burn rate

    My 6.5 CM has an 18" PBB barrel. It shoots the 143 ELDx with RL 26 at 2750. It shoots the 130 TMK with RL-17 at 2865. It shoots the 139 Scenar with H4350 at 2700. About 1500 rounds into it, still shoots fine. It'll work with a 20 inch tube.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    There are two reamers that I'm aware of a Type I and a Type II. The Type I has a shorter freebore (.045"), set up for standard AICS .308 mags. The Type II has a longer freebore (.150"), better suited for AW mags or a Tikka on a LA mag, etc. I'm pretty sure Manson makes both reamer types for...
