10-4. It'll be the perfect gun for desert muleys and coues deer. I am gonna try to have one by next year. I wish I had one for this year as my son and I have elk tags and it'd be great for that too
 
What r the specs on the barrel on the bighorn and what brake?

Thanks Doug

Its funny that you got Moon to build you one, he has been telling everyone how stupid he thinks the caliber is. He must have finally shot one. Now he will want one!! Looks really nice, I like the specs!!

Pat,

That is an awesome buck. Congrats.

Will the 6.5 SAUM run out of BDL short action bottom metal? Specifically a MCS-BDL mini chassis?

I was pretty skeptical when Bill first showed me his and told me about it. First thing that came to mind was barrel life, after reading the thread and running numbers I went ahead and built one! Just working on getting my load all sorted out :)
 
Can't wait until GAP get's my comp gun done. Been shooting a 6.5cm and now all of my misses will be that much closer.;)
 
They got mine the first week of September and all they had to do was run their design reamer in it. Should be done anytime now I would think. I've loved the caliber since 09 when I got mine just hated making brass for it and was only getting 2-3 reloads out of it because the chamber was too tight. Loosened the primer pockets real fast. Can't wait to start enjoying this thing again.

Skyking...love the look of the A3 edge and that paint scheme. Might do that on mine one day. Had thoughts of when I burnt the barrel out going all black on the metal with a Greybull Precision tan stock. We'll see.

I don't remember reading that you need a 27" barrel for the 140's, did I miss something or would the 140's be closer to 3000fps in a 24" barrel?

I've driven 140's and 139's at 3175fps in my 24" 1-8.7" Bartlein. Easy bolt lift and round primers.

So Copper Creek is just down loading then...

Thanks for the reply.

Every barrel and chamber is slightly different. If anything, he is saving you some headache by backing it down a touch. If you want to get detailed, request his load pack and then go from that to his loaded ammo with your desired specs.
That's what I did and it runs perfectly.

Yep, I'd think a 27" barrel would be different than a 24"

Hey George. What did you guys find lacking in the 136? I have shot around 1300 in my creedmoors with great success.

I have a bunch of Berger 130s set aside for my 6.5 SAUM, but would appreciate any input you have on the 136.

Russ @ DTM.
