Gun build

[RSB4]

So I started building my own platform but I am fairly new to the 6.5 CM. I don’t reload so I use Match factory ammo. I have been using match 308 for a long time now. I am a Military sniper but stayed with 308 so I can practice what I preach if you know what I mean. Any way this is What I started

*Action Critis vector
* Kruger Berrel 26” 1 in 8
*MPA Chassis
* Huber trigger 1.5 pull
*Leupold MK 5

I put this together for comps, but I’m unsure about the twist rate. I am planning on a 140 grain

1:8. I would say do gain twist but Krieger doesn’t do them.

So what would be a better choice for that twist rate? A lighter bullet or more

No 1:8 will work for any bullet in 6.5 creed. If you did a gain twist a 1:9-1:8 would be ideal. I shoot 140 ELd-M’s with a 1:8 with zero issues related to twist.

Ok thanks for the info

1-8 works really well with the 140’s in 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 rem.
