    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    It could be a number of things. I'm not sure what powders he has tried either. Lilja barrel, very reputable gunsmith. 27" barrel. Not sure what's going on. It also feeds like garbage from the Remington ultra mag box magazine.

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    That's the same track I am on but rebarreling a 7 mag. The new Sierra 150 requires a 1:7.5 twist so that is probably your best bet. Using Reloder 26 or 33 I don't see why you couldn't get 3000-3100fps. I'm going to go with a 28" barrel length (not running a suppressor). I want to squeeze every...

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    See, I have a friend who just built a 26 Nosler, and he is not happy with it. He can't seem to get the advertised speed or any real accuracy. I told him to try some US869 so time will tell.

    What are the “builds” in your head?

    Build within my reach right now: Tikka T3 action RedSnake bottom metal Bartlein 3b contour, 28" finished with a Muzzle Brakes and More brake chambered in .264WM Boyd's adjustable pro varminter Bushnell LRHS 4.5-18x44 Talley lightweight rings. Rifle I want to build, but will have to wait...

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    I am really leaning 264WM. I have always had a fascination with it, maybe because I myself am a red headed stepchild. Brass would be easy to come by since I can just neck size some 7mm. I'd love to use a cartridge without a belt, that's why my other thought was 6.5WSM which I can form from...

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    I'm open to suggestions as well. I want something that will drive the 155 fast enough to take advantage of the added BC.

    Chambering to shoot the forthcoming 155 6.5 Berger.

    I have gone rounds in my own head on what I want to do as far as a rifle goes. I have a Magnum 700 action sitting unused because the barrel is shot out. With this new bullet coming out I have a revived vigor to do something with my action. My first inclination is the KISS rule, keep it simple...

    Talk about Remington's QC down the drain!!!

    Blame the Fed and fractional reserves for part of that, blame the rest on people who want more free shit. I'm not sure if they are union at Remington, probably at the manufacturing plant but the ammo plant is in Arkansas which as far as I know is a right to work state. I showed that backwards...

    But after I hurt your feelings you'll be more vulnerable and then we can spoon. I always have an ulterior motive.

    I was replying to supercorndogs being an asshole. Thanks, though.

    Talk about Remington's QC down the drain!!!

    Alright. So. You're looking at short term costs. Yes, initial costs are high because of the tooling, research, training, etc. However, over time the cost should go down. The cost to manufacture a rifle has undoubtedly gone down. Why is it though, that Remington's QC has gone down with price...

    Talk about Remington's QC down the drain!!!

    Hey, listen fuckhead. Once you have recouped the money that was spent on r&d, developed better processes for manufacturing (as you should always be looking to do) etc, the cost should go down. It's a basic law of economics. You want to talk to me like that were going to have problems...

    Recommendations for accurate 300 win mag around $2k?

    I have friends who kill elk every year with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Now, if you're not comfortable with that, a 7mm Rem Mag will kill an elk deader than dead and has a lot less recoil than the 300wm. I have a 7mm Rem Mag in a Tikka T3 Hunter, and it shoots 1/2" groups at 100 and I killed a bull elk at...

    Talk about Remington's QC down the drain!!!

    The cost of production is supposed to go down the longer that an item is manufactured, as they figure out new and hopefully "better" ways of manufacturing that item. Since the 700 hasn't changed hardly at all since introduction, I would expect the rifles to be the same price they are now AND...

    Savage barrel decision

    Bugholes will make you a Savage prefit from any barrel blank they sell.

    good starter kit/ or individual components

    My opinion is start with a Forster Coax and go from there.

    135 Berger classic hunter? Anyone?

    .260, 22" barrel.

    135 Berger classic hunter? Anyone?

    Berger shows 48.2 as max for Reloder 26.

    135 Berger classic hunter? Anyone?

    It's directly from Berger data. 26 is a lot slower than H4350 so you can fit more in the case without going over pressure.its also cut very short so it fills the case nicely.
