    6.5 CM Ammo

    My best results at 1,000Y was Sierra Custom Competition with 140gr SMK's. I was getting around 0.6 moa vs 1.25-1.75 moa with FGMM 140 SMK's.

    How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

    In the picture below you will see a piece of Coroplast attached to my Mag Block along with a Pica Dry pencil and a sharpie. I use paracord and a quick release clip so I can leave the mag block in place and take the coroplast. At the start of the day I write down all the distances and my...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    Thanks, the only problem with that barrel is the twist rate of 1-8.5”. At sea level, in cold weather (0°F) with the Lapua 139 Scenar the stability is marginal (1.35). With my current 1-7.5” twist at 0°F the stability is 1.73 with a 1-8” twist it is 1.52 If I was at an elevation of 3,000ft I...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    I am nearing my 60’s and own a small mechanical contracting company with a partner. We decided over a decade ago that we will stay small with around 6 employees because if we expand to the next level it would need to be around 25 employees to make any economic sense due to the higher overhead...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    Trying to grow to keep a constant delivery schedule is a recipe for disaster. Just trying to bring in qualified personnel and getting them to work within your standards is difficult enough but trying to hit a target moving in different directions at all times is nearly impossible. Even if you...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    I have to give props to Bartlein. My shooting partner picked up an abandoned project off of someone. It has a 26" Bartlein 1.25" straight taper barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor that was spun up by Insite Arms here in Canada. These are the 25 first rounds out of the barel including getting on paper. We...

    Carrying a folding knife in a pocket? Instant solution for protecting your pockets and making access to the knife faster.

    I’m Canadian but have travelled more of the USA than most Americans. I can tell you that there were more places that I questioned my decisions on why I was there in red states over blue ones.

    Carrying a folding knife in a pocket? Instant solution for protecting your pockets and making access to the knife faster.

    Once in a while I will fly somewhere without any checked baggage meaning I’m not carrying a knife. I usually stop at a 5.1.1 store or gun shop and pick up an inexpensive knife that if need be can be gifted or sent home by mail.

    Would upgrading my suppressor or optic help more?

    As Ioveha said this is more a buy more ammo situation than anything else. The more you compete the more you will know what needs to change. There is no substitute for time behind the gun. More experience comes from more shooting. My first test on any optic I purchase regardless of the price ie...

    Finish/stain for reloading bench ?

    I use Watco Butcher block oil & finish. You can find it at Home Depot. Whenever it gets a little dirty you can pass a scotchbrite pad of fine sandpaper over it and add a couple of coats. I haven’t treated it in the last 5 years.

    6mm BR

    This is a 6BR barrel that I picked up used for $200. The person I purchased it from has no information on this barrel as he bought it for the action. All we know is that it’s a 1-10” twist. No manufacturer or gunsmith name on it. Savage style barrel nut. Where would you go from here? I only have...
