    Bartlein Barrels

    Re: Bartlein Barrels I shot a sub 4" group at 1K with a 6.5 Creedmoor Bartlein 8.5 5R a few weeks back. Also, I saw one in a lathe today that was ridiculously straight with barely a hint of a high point on the indicators. I have shot emails back and forth with Frank and never had a...

    6.5 brass from 308 followup?

    Re: 6.5 brass from 308 followup? TLC, Thank you for your time and advice. I found the parts I need at Sinclair and will put in an order next week. I'll take photos and update the thread as I go. This way someone can ID problems I may be creating and others can learn from it as well. Cheers.

    6.5 brass from 308 followup?

    Re: 6.5 brass from 308 followup? TLC, Thanks for pointing out the difference in the body die vs the FL die. You mention that you have to expand the neck for the trimmer, How do you do this? I was planning on using my Giraud which is set up for the 6.5 CM. Forgive my paraphrasing but this...

    6.5 brass from 308 followup?

    Re: 6.5 brass from 308 followup? Thanks for brining this up again. I have about 1K of .308 FGMM brass but I find I just enjoy shooting the 6.5 CM more and more these days. Looks like I need to invest in a neck turner. So do I leave the decapping pin and expander ball in the RCBS 6.5CM die...

    Stainless Steel Tumbling Media

    Re: Stainless Steel Tumbling Media I fill a bucket half full with cold water, pick the cases out of the tumbler and drop them in the bucket. When one has pins stuck in the neck I pop them out with a small screwdriver, throw them away and drop the case in the bucket with the clean water. I...

    X-Ray 51 Redux

    Re: X-Ray 51 Redux Keith, Great looking rifle. One of the reasons I took my X-Ray out of the A5 and the A1-3 was the need for an adjustable cheek. There is an A3-5 on order at McMillan for it now. Nice before and after pics. Thank you for sharing.

    Stainless Steel Tumbling Media

    Re: Stainless Steel Tumbling Media I've been doing the SS tumbling media thing for about 10 years now. A High Power old timer and Camp Perry champ taught me about using a rock tumbler, BB's, Dawn and a few drops of lemon juice. It does an excellent job but gives the brass a bit of a dark...

    AICS Stock Plastic Quality

    Re: AICS Stock Plastic Quality I have a standard 2.0 and had the opportunity to shoot a rifle with the Victor skins the other day. The fit, finish, materials and ergonomics were head and shoulders above the standard skins. I like the 2.0 and have no complaints but I found that the grip on...

    Range Report 6.5x47 Lapua VS 6.5 Creedmoor

    Re: 6.5x47 Lapua VS 6.5 Creedmoor I took the 6.5CM out to a match today with "ball park" data after adding a Surefire break. The 123's and 39.5 of Varget gave me a 4" group at 1K (4" for horizontal and 2.5" for vertical spread). With the SF break I could watch my own trace and it felt like...

    OBR...she is a shooter!

    Re: OBR...she is a shooter! K_4c, I've read through the thread and did not see it mentioned but, is that an 18" or 20" OBR? Nice looking (and shooting) rifle by the way.

    OBR which of the 3 in 7.62

    Re: OBR which of the 3 in 7.62 I have had a Familiarization Fire out to 200 yards with the 18" and I found it to balance well and shoot almost as well as a bolt gun. I have not tried the 16" or 20" but at the moment the 18" with a surefire break/can and a PRS stock or Larue riser has my vote.

    OBR which of the 3 in 7.62

    Re: OBR which of the 3 in 7.62 Ophin, "GPR would be carried most of the time less than 10 miles a day when hunting man or beast" From your profile you are neither Mil or LE. When you start talking, even tongue in cheek, about carrying a weapon for multiple miles for hunt man, you start to...

    Re: TTF - Seneschal Rifle - .308 - New Builder Curtis, You appear to make a very nice looking and excellent shooting rifle, my complements sir. However, your decisions on names and photos should be more thought out before you announce your product in a forum such as this. Although GA and...

    TTF - Seneschal Rifle - .308 - New Builder

    Re: TTF - Seneschal Rifle - .308 - New Builder Very nice and clean looking rifle, good shooting. It does look like a desert Tac Ops...which is interesting because your website "helo sniper" is a Honolulu PD officer shooting a Tac Ops Tango 51.
