    Did Hornady Change 147 ELD-M Bullet?

    This is simply all my speculation, but I believe the tip could indeed have been made from a different material. As far as the measurement changing, that's just your typical hornady lot to lot variation. It's not like they're known for consistency, quite the opposite actually.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I think my current barrel is kinda fast. I was able to get 144s up to 2800 with h4350 and it's only a 24" barrel. Now that I've acquired reloder 16, I think it opens up the possibility of using 153s since the powder can kinda make up for some of the loss with my short barrel.

    Which powder?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I know low 2600s are typical with 153s and h4350. But what's everyone getting with r16? Does it help get more speed or not? I also have an 8 twist so maybe I shouldn't even consider the 150 class bullets.

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    Then you don't need a 700. I have 5 m70/spr rifles and never had the itch for a 700. I think the spr is a much superior rifle. I'll buy it off you if you don't want it lol.

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    No. You don't need a 700. I would argue a model 70 would be better or even an FN SPR.

    I want a new bolt action rifle, looking for some advice

    Probably just look for an FN SPR.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Could just be the levels. Unless it's visually and obviously warped.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I went out to try the new PBR I recently bought on gunbroker. To my surprise, it's my smoothest cycling bolt. It beats my other SPRs and m70s. I took some shit ammo just to see how it would do with it and a box of FGMM 168s. I guess it's no surprise, the FGMM shot sub half haha. Group is...

    6.5 CM Ammo

    For shits and gigs I took the 6.5 out with some factory hornady American Gunnef 140 hpbt. It's the one that comes in the big black plastic boxes in 200 round quantities. While it was only 10 shots, I gotta say I'm still a bit surprised. The numbers were good and the group was fairly small...

    Neighbor's horses in my property problem (texas)

    Obviously these situations are all hypothetical. Yes, I plan to introduce myself and even invite the neighbors to shoot on the land as well. The neighbor south is really good people and probably the type of people you want as neighbor. The one north is the one with the horses. I've heard he's...

    Neighbor's horses in my property problem (texas)

    Hey all, I wanted to see if I can pick the hide's brain a bit. I found a great stretch of property that extends 1km long in a straight line. I am in the process of buying it so I can do some of my shooting there. There is no fence on the property but it is still a good deal. One neighbor has...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Oh nice. I bought a tango6 4-24 years back. I've liked it so much for what it is and it's price point, I've considered getting the tango6 in the 3-18 version.

    How do you like that scope? And nice build, Danny does great work.

    6.5 CM Ammo

    I have found the 130 AR hybrids to be very shootable with virtually no or minimal load development needed in order to obtain small groups .

    6.5 CM Ammo

    Wow, you guys have unicorn dust it seems like. With numbers like that, I wouldn't mind just outright using factory ammo and stop reloading altogether. I may have to try a box just to see but I can almost guarantee it's gonna have crazy numbers.
