    Sidearms & Scatterguns SRO on older 320 X5

    Athena Precision has a plate for that. Their mounting plates are 2nd to none in quality and their service is spot on. https://athenaprecision.com/

    28" 6.5 Cr.

    Another possibly dumb question. 147 ELDM vs. 140 ELDM?

    28" 6.5 Cr.

    I went and shot it today. I'm running the 140 ELDM over 41 gr of H4350. 5 shot velocity average was 2797. ES of 21 SD showed as 9.8. 100 yard 5 shot group was .42 moa. I kinda thought my velocity would be slightly higher as my 24" savage shoots the same load at 2772. That said, at .42 moa from...

    28" 6.5 Cr.

    That's almost exactly the same as my build. Dumb question, are you loading the 153's light? 2680 seems kinda slow compared to the 147. Not criticism, just curious.

    28" 6.5 Cr.

    Anyone else running a 28" tube for 6.5 Cr? My gunsmith had one handy and made me a great deal on a Bartlien. It is a 1-8 twist M24 contour. What kind of velocities are you getting with 140 and 147 grain pills?

    Big game all-rounder

    Over the years I've shot more Mule deer and elk than I can count. I've hunted hogs in Texas, and took a 1400 lb bison on a private ranch. Nowadays I guide hunts on private property for pronghorn, mule deer, moose, black bear, mountain lion and elk. I've owned 6.5 Cr 28 Nosler 300 WM 7 RM 30-06...

    I believe they use Wilson blanks.

    WOA, Criterion, or??? 16" SPR/Recce build

    My 16" WOA rifles (3 of them) are 1/2 moa with multiple loads. I have nothing but good things to say about WOA.

    White oak armament accuracy

    My WOA 1-7 shoots the 73 ELD really well.

    Criterion barrel?

    Do the Nitrided criterion barrels shoot as good as the un-nitrided?

    DA Nomad or Rugged Radiant.

    Supressor Recommendations

    Rugged Radiant. Best of both worlds. It'll take hard use and is extremely light. Also noteworthy, Rugged customer service and quality are second to none.

    I can push 180 ELDM at almost 3100 out of my 24" barrel and not have excessive pressure.

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    Issue solved. I think i could have done better if i would have taken it to .078. But it is functional now. I put an Odin works tuneable GB on it. Now im running a Sprinco Red with a 3 oz buffer and it runs smooth.

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    Problem solved I think. As embarrassing as it is to report this, I pulled the gas block and actually pin gauged the port. UGH!!! it was at .071. WTH???? I figure that because it is listed as .086 on the Proof website that it would in fact be at .086. I set it up on my mill and cut it out...

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    I'm at 3.8 oz now. Bolt locks on manual operation. Gas block alignment looks good. Verified by removing and inspecting the carbon rings.
