    6.5 Creedmoor

    chasing .001-.005 is OCD. I would work off of turns on the die. When testing I will do 1/8 turn of the die and load a couple. After finding the best size then you can get crazy chasing .001 for years or just find one and be happy. Work up to Mag length (2.7-2.825 is SAAMI).

    Short Barrel 308 Carbine Gas

    If you want to use the XH grab a Vltor A5 buffet tube. They make pistol A5 tunes as well. I’m running a slash XH in a Standard Vltor A5 and love it. If not, I may have slash’s 308 buffer laying around. I’ll look if you may want it.

    Practical rifle weight

    loaded question as it’s like asking for the best trigger. It will depend on the individual and primary use. A primarily PRS gun vs backpack gun. Could all swap place of each other but what does each person want to give up vs gain? Each Mil or LE gun I have held has been 15-20lbs Range as is...

    Origin or impact.....hold the phone

    I wasn’t able to test many out but upon calling a few top smiths, despite what they used or had available, they told me Impact or Lone Peak.

    Origin or impact.....hold the phone

    The only thing I like about the Origin over my Impact is the 60* throw and the easily changed bolt head. But the fixed lug and rail with the finish is what won out on the Impact for me but I still debate an Origin for another build

    Origin or impact.....hold the phone

    So spending $1300+ on the chassis but got to save on the action? In that case, a Magpul hunter is in order to save more. ? There comes a point where money exponentially increases for small stuff. Going from a pinned lug and rail to fixed is a huge cost. Yes the Origin will be just fine but I...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    .4 and .5 charge difference leave a lot on the table. I would shoot for .2-.3 charge spreads for testing.

    Any New Actions at Shot?

    To have something that is innovative, you first need to have a problem that needs a new design to fix. What needs to be improved upon that isn't covered by a 700 clone? or are you looking for the new shiny? which most of us do.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Like Mustang cars, my Berger 140 are going 2849 from a 23.5” Muellerworks. I would test until the primers flatten, slight creater or swipes show. Back off then but push until you see some signs of pressure spikes. As to your other post, that same load has a larger ES/SD than I want and about...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Test at distance. The lower SD will likely be more consistent at distance than the one with larger SD but small holes at 100. But, a lot would still love a SD of 9.

    Blueprinted action?

    Did I say his work is marketing hype? The post is worded in a way to make is sound great without actually saying shit. It had no specifics.

    Blueprinted action?

    Did you just copy their website information? Lots of marketing going on that really says nothing other than fancy words to market the product. They do mention the word tolerances but give no specifics. .002 Where? Lugs? Tennon? Bolt body? Ejector port? Marketing hype Eg: minimal locktime...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    What barrel length? Also, what chrono are you using? Is the Chrono proven reliable or calibrated? Confirmed with dope?

    Impact Precision Actions

    Whoever you have chamber the barrel, tell Them what action you are using. They should have the tennon dimensions.

    Blueprinted action?

    Have seen several blueprinted actions shoot 1/4” groups over many years of LE service. Better than the new AI guns my team has do. Actions have little to do with accuracy as the barre is where most performance comes from. As long as lugs lock up consistently your fine.

    Does anyone recognize this chassis/action?

    Wow that’s pricy.
