I have had good luck with Hornady 6mm creed brass. Here is a 10 shot group with 5x fired Hornady.

Here is one I finished a few weeks ago. Curtis Vector action Hart barrel 1in7.5 twist 24" Kmw stock (bedded) Shoots small groups with Hornady factory ammo, but really shines with Sierra 107 hpbt and 4831sc.

Don't spend the money on a custom rifle if it's not what you want. That's the beauty of the custom rifle. It is built for you with what you want. What are the components for $4500. If it is just a trued 700 I think that is overpriced for what quality parts are available. Just my opinion. The...

I wasnt really talking about my shotgun as "not being much". I was referring to my buddy's kill with a 45 long colt out of a revolver when I made that statement. Anyway, I still say they aren't any harder to kill then many other animals. Yes, I am shooting a rifled barrel with a slug. Yes I...

I get 3049fps single digit SDs with smk 107s over 4831sc. 27 inch Bartlein 5r barrel. I could got a bit more but got the best accuracy in that area. Nick

I shot my black bear at 35 yards with a 12ga, he ran about 20 yards and dropped. He weighed 280lbs dressed. You really don't need much. My friend took one with a Colt SSA 45. All about placement.

I have seen a few come on the shop like that. Seems to be a common occurrence with that aluminum bedding block hs stocks. I personally wouldn't spend the money to fix it if it isn't broke. But thats just me. It sounds like your happy with the way it shoots so just shoot it till the barrel...

Also I was just thinking do you clean your barrel then store you rifle upright? A tiny bit of oil or solvent might be settling in the chamber. Just thinking out loud. Nick

Try not getting it super clean every time. I don't think it is necessary. I have shot rifles upwards of 3 to 400 rounds with no major cleaning, just a few wet patches let it sit and punch it out with a few dry patches. Sometimes I hit the chamber and throat with a nylon brush but that is very...

Does it work? You just don't like the way it feels? If it works they probably won't do anything for you. I have taken them per and stones buts and rough machine marks off and they have improved a great deal. You don't need to do much, and do a little at a time. Nick

I have not jumped on the bandwagon yet so I will admit I don't have 6.5 creedmoor experience but I run a 260ai out of a SA without feeling like I am leaving anything on the table. If the reamer is speced accordingly you would be fine. I personally just run 130s at mag length because they just...

I would personally go with the Kelbly. I would give them a call. I have a few of their actions and when I called to order they often had the receiver body on the shelf that really minimized the wait. The last action I got from them they quoted 6 weeks and I got a call in 3 weeks saying my...

I have had good results with my 2011 Fullbore reamer. I shoot 155 smk 2156 exclusively in the rifle. That rifle has more then a few cleans at 1000. Nick

The stock is gone. Thanks Nick
