    Readily available 6mm barrels?

    I didn't realize JP was making 6 Creed barrels. The last paragraph on the barrel listing page is important, factory 6 Creed brass is a little short on headspace. "If you have new cases that are at minimum on the gauge or below, use the Hornady 105 BTHP loaded to 2.740” or a bit longer to give a...

    Gunsmithing Throating Reamers

    I have had success with a 6mm PTG uni-throater in several barrels. It uses the same bushings as the chamber reamer and as long as you cut the chamber straight the body will keep the throat in line.

    Montana Prairie Dogs vs the Sierra 95gr TMK

    What velocity are you getting out of those? I bought a few boxes on sale and haven't played with them much.

    Mk12Mod1 accuracy problems/questions

    The MK12 has a NATO chamber correct? One advantage to a clone barrel is getting a Wylde or match chamber, tighter freebore dia.

    Finally got a 6mm Creedmoor

    The Hornady brass is GTG and is plentiful.

    Reloder 23 with 6.5x47 Lapua

    I tried some in a 6mm Creed, it seems to be only a little faster than 7828SSC.

    6.5x47 w/ 7828ssc

    Don't let too many people know how good that powder works, I like being able to buy some whenever I want.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    I have a 4-20 Veracity with the same problems as the OP. Sent it in and it came back with a clean bill of health, a waste of time and money. The only way to make it even remotely clear is to move my head to the far right side of the eyebox, so much so that the image starts to fade away, then it...

    Gunsmithing 7rSAUM Free bore

    I have a SAAMI reamer (0.090" freebore) and it puts the long nose Hornady bullets on the lands around 2.97". I haven't bought any Bergers for it yet.

    6mm pill for PRS

    Hornady also sells virgin 6mm Creedmoor brass, no need to neck it down. Use a powder slower than H4350 and it will last a long time.

    Gunsmithing Questions on installing flush cups

    Do a search for Blair Rotabroach. They are spendy but work great on thin sheet metal and carbon fiber shells. Sent from my XT1030 using Tapatalk

    Remington 700 in .300 WM

    I just picked one up in 300 Ultra for a SAUM project. The stock is pretty nice and the action actually has some primary extraction. I decided to shoot it some before the barrel change and I have shot several MOA groups with factory ammo and one 5/8 MOA group at 385 yds with reloads. Plenty good...

    Gunsmithing Changed barrel, now headspace issues.

    What is the depth of the recess in the bolt face? It looks like you need to have some material removed from the breech face, the barrel was chambered too deep for your setup.

    Hello, new guy here from ND. I'm a hobbyist gunsmith and have been turning my own barrels for a few years now. I like to learn so I have been reading here for a while now.

    Gunsmithing Changed barrel, now headspace issues.

    New here but I've been lurking for a while now. You issue is most likely due to the case protrusion being incorrect. It sounds like the resistance you feel when it "closes" on both gauges is actually the bolt hitting the tenon. Pull the barrel and compare the go gauge protrusion between it and...
