It is. Very useful. Running 133 Bergers, 134 Hornadys, and 145gr Black Holes with it in modified .264/.257 Win Mag (called .250 MDC)

Weatherby Accu-Mark .338-.378 Wby Magnum. 2 1/2 - 5" groups with the brake on and 2 - 4" with it off. Took it to a Wby certified smith who called in a month to say he couldn't get it to shoot as good as I did. Sent it to Wby. 5 months later, I got it back with a target showing a nice 5/8" group...

I read the title of this thread without seeing your posted comments. How coincidental that I was going to report the same cartridge as you - the 6.5x300 Wby. However, now that I think of it, I believe the 7mm RUM may have been even more overbore - or at least about equal. While it's 2 calibers...

NDF is a good guy - honest, pays fast, and communicates well. If all buyers and sellers were like him, we wouldn't need this thread because there would never be any problems!

Update. Finally have everything finished. Eric left me 27 1/2" of barrel there. Hawkins BDL bottom metal with Wyatt box (not necessary for 7mm PRC, but...), and went with TacSport Pro single stage. Have Pro-X model reserved for my lightweight .300 SAUM project that's about to go together...

Weight 3lbs, 3ozs. Somebody asked about diameter ahead of threads and which nut. It's a small shank Savage thread and it's straight until you hit the carbon fiber. Any Savage small shank nut will work. Threads 1.055"x20p, so shank diameter 1.055".

Sorry, working out of town. I attached a copy of the reamer print from Manson that C6 used to chamber. I'll share it here, as well. Someone else asked about the weight and whether it had cartridge designation stamped on. I will get a weight when I get home late tonight. It is heavier than...

Never torqued on an action. Did verify threads would fit Savage action. This is a Sendero contour 1:9 twist prefit for Savage small shank. Should install on an Origin action, also. Price is $500 plus $25 shipping TYD. Decided to build a 7 PRC, which is now completed. Will accept Postal money...

I'm reviving this thread with a little more experience and updates. Eric at Blue Mountain made me a 7 PRC pre-fit from a 26" "3B-sized" Hawk Hill barrel to run in the McMillan stock. I incorporated Wyatt box with Hawkins BDL Obermeyer bottom metal and Hawkins Magnum LA follower. Here's the...

I didn't figure you would; it's a long way from a Creedmoor!🤣 Hoping we'd both get lucky.🤣

Not the caliber you wanted, but beautiful and 1 of a kind with only a few rounds through it. 9.4 twist. The stock has beautiful deer-themed engraving and a gloss finish. 24.4" barrel. During break-in, I fired 6 rounds through it and ordered this replacement stock. Fired 6 more to test the...

It measures .280" across the top. It was a Pacific Tool & Gauge lug, I believe. It is currently part of another build.

This barrel is 26 1/8' long and threaded for the Savage small shank action. It is a pre-fit chambered in .284 Winchester. I have new brass for additional cost if needed. Remington Sendero contour. Twist is 1:9". Ready to install on your Savage-threaded action. $500 plus $20 shipping.

This barrel is like new. Cerakoted black and theaded for Rem 700 action. Muzzle is threaded 5/8x24. Remington Varmint contour 1:9.4" twist. Pictured with Highland Green Cerakoted Kahn-Trol brake that was super effective at taking the recoil down to 280AI level at worst. All machining done by...

That's a beautiful rifle, sir, and fine shooting! I hope mine turns out half as good!
