    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    I've been shooting out to 1800 yards recently with my 6.5 creedmoor, and the factory ammo has enough velocity dispersion to go over the top of the ipsc and then under the target on the next round. That's pretty frustrating. I'm sure I'll get the obligatory "use a better ELR round" or "move the...

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    It probably is that Moon. It seems like a great barrel, and I agree that's probably not the problem unless it's how clean it is or something...

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    I haven't tried varget. I'm just over 2500 rounds on my 6.5 creedmoor barrel. A smith named "moon" made it: it was on the rifle when I got it, so the round count is kind of an estimate. I've been using H4350, and I've tried different primers and bullets. I've just never seen great accuracy...

    I'm ordering a 6.5x47 lapua. Awesome.

    Yes. That's what I want.

    How many bullets went through that hole?!

    You're really selling it. :)

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    Those two are so close it seem like you could use the same powder in either one. Why rely on 4350. Why not N550 or something?

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    Why did you choose 6.5x47 over 6.5 creedmoor given the availability of brass and both having small rifle primers and such...

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    I'm intending to start off the 6.5x47 barrel with the lapua 123 factor ammo and develop a load for it on that brass. I'm thinking 135gr or 130gr berger bullets. I also want to try the 121gr flat line bullets. I'm thinking at 1:7 twist rate would work well for everything. Any thoughts?

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    I agree they are very similar. I don't have experience with the lapua currently, so I'm looking for something that might distinguish them. I'm finishing up a 6.5cm barrel, and I'm considering trying the lapua. I'm under the impression that the 6.5x47 will tend to have less velocity...

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    That's interesting. The 6.5x47 lapua is easier to tune. For accuracy or velocity dispersion?

    6.5 creedmoor = 6.5x47 ?

    It seems like there's no relevant difference between 6.5creedmore and 6.5x47 lapua at this point. Both have lapua brass (6.5cm even has peterson brass) Both achieve similar MV Both feed well from an AI magazine Both use the same powders Is there a reason to pick one over the other? I'm...

    AXMC barrel timing

    Thanks, Bohem. I can't say I have any concerns about barrel run out at this point. cheers.

    AXMC barrel timing

    I've never heard that perspective on barrel run out. It does seem like that is certainly a concern with minimal significance with modern scopes. I have heard the discussion about POI shift due to thermal expansion of the barrel. The idea is that if a barrel were truly straight it would...

    What's the argument?

    That sound reasonable. Thanks for the perspective.

    AXMC barrel timing

    If it's not something to worry about then why did you build a gauge to deal with it?

    AXMC barrel timing

    I ask, because I was thinking about a proof research barrel for my AXMC, and I've heard that they have a comparably large runout. Is this a founded concern?

    AXMC barrel timing

    It's my understanding that when a gunsmith installs a barrel on an action they time the bend in the barrel to be centered at the top. How does it work with the AXMC or other similar system where they don't have the action to work with when they cut the barrel? Does the AXMC system throw away...
