    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    What did your weight come in at? I'm acquiring parts for a very similar build, 16.5 C6 LW 6.5c, Origin SA, same stock and optic.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    There is quite a lot of reporting indicating the ELD-M has very similar on game performance as the ELD-X. I need a lighter bullet out of a shorter barrel to obtain the desired velocity. ELD-X only has the 143, while ELD-Ms have various. I haven't seen a review of someone dissecting the...

    SOLD Hornady 6.5 CM Brass

    OP - If you're willing to split up, I'll take 250 for $100 if someone would like the other 250. Found elsewhere, GLWS OP.

    Critique my NRL hunter build - what am I missing?

    I can't critique your build for NRL, but it looks like a solid parts list and I can't wait to see pics once you put it together. - guy building a LW 16" 6.5c

    Carbon Six barrels?

    I gave up trying to play the contour and fluting game to get weight down. Pacnor's calculator was showing only 2.5lb with #3 and the most aggressive fluting, although my math indicated a #2 @ 16" would handle a 5/8x24 shoulder. Once I threw in the cost of fluting, cerakote, and chambering, it...

    Carbon Six barrels?

    16" 6.5CM featherweight Origin prefit ordered, cannot believe the ~32oz quoted weight! Excited to get the nomad screwed on for a 22" suppressed 8lb scoped hunting rifle.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Hello all, I started reloading for my 26" 6.5cm this year due to the ammo shortage (now I get to deal with the powder/primer shortage). I've been using the Gordon Reloading Tool and have put together sub-10 SD loads with lapua brass, 210M, and H4350. I'm building a 16.5" for a light/handy...

    Pay to remage an action or go custom?

    Many thanks, I misunderstood that I would need to notch the action to hold the lug. Looks like advances are being made!

    Pay to remage an action or go custom?

    I have a R700 5R G2 in 6.5cm with the 24” fluted sendero barrel at 1k rounds (barrel is still fine). I’ve recently started reloading and shooting PRS and have a badrock 6.5cm on its way for my comp gun (unfortunately does not accept prefits). I’m looking to turn my current R700 into more of a...

    Shoulder / Headspacing questions 6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks guys, I knew I needed to go off fired brass and bump roughly .002", I guess I was just surprised by the comparator not being a gauge. I should probably get a go-gauge, but I'm just glad I have an accurate way to compare bump now.

    Shoulder / Headspacing questions 6.5 Creedmoor

    That was my initial thought, as I’d set the redding FL die and reloaded the first 50 rounds setting headspace with the tape method. It was just surprising to see the difference with the whidden gauge/comparator and the fact it was so far off the other measurements posted in this thread. Would...

    Shoulder / Headspacing questions 6.5 Creedmoor

    Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I have an issue of similar topic. I just started reloading for my R700 6.5cm, and recently purchased the whidden .400 shoulder bump gauge. My numbers are .020" off of saami spec...I'm getting 1.525 for new Lapua/peterson brass, 1.528 for fired...

    Athlon Ares G2 15-45x65

    Doug just took my order for the angled version with mil eyepiece. I've been in the market for my first spotter for a few months, but couldn't find the right one until this Ares. Lightweight, compact, AND has a mil reticle for a 65mm scope! I think they may be the only ones (aside from the old...

    Grayboe Phoenix?

    Figured I'd close out my contribution to this thread. Grayboe received the stock, weighed it at 34oz, and offered me a full refund. I took the refund, shelved my plans to hunt with this rifle, and will build a sub 8lb 300PRC next year for anything my 270win cannot handle (elk).
