    Gunsmithing Rechamber 6.5x47 to 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I’ve got a 6.5x47 Lapua barrel that I’m thinking about having rechambered given the factory ammo offerings. Can any competent gunsmith do this? Is there a downside to rechambering? Would it be better performance wise to have a Creedmoor barrel spun up? What say the hide?

    Chopping a 6.5 WSM

    It’s a Copper Creek load, so probably not max.

    20-21” 6.5 saum..

    Dunno, have never weighed it. Hunted it with it several times and never had an issue with the weight.

    I’ve found a fantastic deal on one of these and think it might be worth a shot. Any real world users?

    How did you even find this 4 year old thread @Hardan9 ?

    Suppressors YHM Turbo?

    Mainly noise level. My intent is for this can to go on an SBR host-so whatever can make a 10.5 inch .223 a little quieter I’m interested

    Hunting & Fishing Antelope rifle recommendation

    Had a blast chasing speed goats in New Mexico last September. 6 hunters-calibers were-.257 Roberts, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 SAUM, 6.8 SPC, .270, .300 win mag-closest shot was 250 and furthest was 480ish. Everyone was bang flop except 6.8 SPC and that was due to poor shot placement

    Suppressors YHM Turbo?

    Anyone have real world experience with these on a semi-auto? I’m not expecting unbelievable performance, but for the price point to put on an SBR host it seems tempting.

    How many bolt guns do you own?

    Only a few. But I get in the habit of selling existing stock and buying new every few years.

    Yeah That’s an indictment of our criminal justice system if I remember the case correctly.

    Land coverage needs to play into your calculations

    @Bender I’m honored. Really. Fuck me for being tongue in cheek on an equally absurd concept such as the wall. Let’s look at main things the wall is supposed to accomplish: Immigration-Tunnels are still a thing and will be more of a thing going forward. Also, people can climb over them...

    I bet some of y'all thought I was crazy.

    The wall is stupid and logistically will never work. The ongoing maintenance costs will be several billion annually ON TOP of whatever ungodly amount it actually takes to not only construct BUT purchase the land on which the wall would be constructed on. My guess is that none of y’all actually...

    Perfect Long Range Multi Purpose Rig

    OP-I had this same dilemma and wound up going 6.5 SAUM. It’s got a Bartlein 3b at 22” and wears a TBAC Ultra 9. Rifle sits in an EH1 w/DBM. I’m kissing 3000 FPS w/143 Grain ELD-X. I’ve shot a Pronghorn at 355 and a Whitetail doe at 520 with excellent results. Wouldn’t and will not hesitate...
