    convert Savage 300 WSM Stagger feed to 6.5 PRC

    If you have 300WSM brass, I would consider a 7mm or 6.5WSM.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Manufacturer safety and fear of lawsuits keeps them low. Most on here are using 42-42.7g of 4350 with 140 Pills.

    Getting Back Into Precision Shooting – Rifle Purchase Advice Needed

    As much as I agree the AI is a great gun, my team has several of them and I have shot a few of them, they are not my style. I don’t like the feel. But I would take one. Spending my money, I would grab an Impact Precision build. Yes I am biased. It feels better to me.

    What bullets 6.5/.264 for PRS

    I’ll second this. I’m using 42.7 of 4350 with the Hybrids and absolutely love them. So much, I hesitate changing even though they are pricy.

    Impact Precision Actions

    I got home and looked at mine, around 450 rounds and 1000+ dry fire cycles, both lugs on mine have matching marks. Not concerned with mine at all as I never noticed it until now.

    Arc Mausingfield - New Barrel or Sell for an Impact 737R or AI AT?

    Barrel nut/Bar Loc is easier to change barrels than the 737 but I absolutely love my Impact. Although I had no complaints after shooting a friends Maus, I like the smoothness of the 737 and the intregral rail and lug over the Maus. IMO, if you are not financially strapped, I would hook up the...

    Short barrel on 6mm Creedmore

    Bushing dies are not needed but some are very picky about the neck size. Bushings allow you to change it instead of getting a new custom die. Buy a bushing die and 3-4 different sized bushings or just run a standard die. People have won and lost with both. IMO it isn’t that much of a concern for...

    Hunting & Fishing 16” 308 vs 20” 6.5 creedmoor

    I understand it is somewhat flawed but Velocity and grains = Ft/Lb which is what determines expansion of a given bullet. Not all are the same but they are generally close to it. Handguns have different expansion rates. For a rifle, expansion has little to do with killing as the wound cavity...

    Off the shelf bolt gun

    They also sell the Seekings Havak. I would grab that or the B14

    New 6.5 build suggestions

    If you want to do a long 260, use the 150g Bullets. The only place the 150g work with a 260 case is in a long action as a short mag length doesn’t allow proper seating on the bullet. Even look at the 260AI if your set on that case. If I was going long action, I would look at another caliber...

    Hunting & Fishing 16” 308 vs 20” 6.5 creedmoor

    Run them over a chrono and plug in the data. People who hunt deer say 800ft/lb is about the lowest energy for a kill on large game.

    6.5 CM MPA

    1: all 3 are excellent. I would ask if any are coated, DLC, Cerakote, Melonited... get what you want. 2: go with what they recommend if you don’t know why you specifically want. 3: they are a great company and will not steer you wrong.

    MPA chassis

    Could have swore I read cheek pad. Anyways there are 2 screws in the butt pad that have about 50 mounting options.

    MPA chassis

    Most have an adjuster knob below the cheek piece. I have my Impact in a MPA comp. had a 1.5” scope raiser and now a .9” raiser and neither had issues and adjustment is easy. Turn knob then tighten set screws when happy. Some models use adjustable knobs with set screws and others like the light...

    Magpul Pro 700 chassis

    Handled one at a gun show and it felt nice but I’ll stick with my MPA.

    Help Choosing a Stock - Manners PRS2 or Foundation

    I run an MPA and have not run either you mentioned. However, I looked into both, I like the Manners for the bedding block/DBM, and it seems like it also has more options down the road. I got the MPA as it has the most continual advancement options which I love. But would also love to try the...

    Pros and Cons 6.5 Small Primer vs. Large Primer

    We both know people frequently say one thing but word it incorrectly. The poster with the issue should post pictures so it can be diagnosed properly. Gassed flowing back, flat primers, createred primers, etc are all frequently worded as primer flow.

    Pros and Cons 6.5 Small Primer vs. Large Primer

    Not completely true. Large firing pins on a small primer tend to rip the primer on the outer edge of the FP indentation. Since the primer is smaller, there is less flat area to flex, the indentation from a Large FP gets into the harder surface caused from the curve of the primer causing a rip...

    Another new action?

    Mostly referring to APR reputation. Never heard a bad thing about them.
