    130 Grain Class 6.5 Creedmoor Bullets

    140 + class bullets are largely considered the sweet spot for the 6.5 CM, but my 20" barrel Tikka UPR loves the 130 grain Berger OTMs. I get the same velocity with the 130s out of my 20" barrel as the 140s for a 24" barrel. Anyone hunting with sub 140 grain 6.5mm projectiles? The 130 OTMs by...

    6 ARC as a 400+ Yard Hunting Cartridge?

    I built a Howa Mini 6 ARC bolt action rifle with a B&C stock. I have 103 grain ELD-X and 108 grain ELD-M handloads that have me hitting the 1800 FPS threshold right at 600 yards. KE is sub 1,000 lbs at those ranges. Both loads are right are under a minute of precision/accuracy. The rifle is an...

    Anybody Ditch the Bubble Level?

    I shoot a lot from 100-1K and use a bubble level. I have one rifle with a scope that doesn't have a bubble level and honestly, it's nice to settle in and not have to be checking the bubble. For hunting distances, I'm starting to debate the value of the bubble level. I don't get in weird...

    Carbon Ring in Chamber

    I've got two Tikkas (308 and 6.5 Creedmoor) with over 1K rounds down the bore. They are shooting well and I enjoy cleaning rifles so I have never let them get too dirty but I bore scoped the chamber and found the carbon rings. I decided to clean them up and I will say, it's not easy. Hoppe's...

    Suppressor/Muzzle Attachment in FOV

    My Zeiss and Burris scopes have a wide FOV and are mounted relatively low to the bore on my rifles. I keep my scopes on the lowest power and only crank them up at the range or if I need to in the field. My can takes up the lower quarter of the FOV on low power. I'm learning to live with it but...

    Lightweight Rifles off Bipod

    My Tikkas are a UPR and CTR and the weight keeps them pretty steady off a bipod. I got a Howa Mini 6mm ARC in a B&C stock that is pretty light. It’s real snappy/jumpy off bipod even with the light recoil. I think it’s a cause of erratic grouping. Anyone find shooting a light rifle off a...

    Cortina Precision Customer Service?

    Ordered the smaller 3 port 1/2x28 EC Tuner brake today from Erik’s site. I exchanged one email with a guy named Clay and it’s been radio silence after I sent a couple follow up emails about my order. Anyone dealt with them before? I talked to a guy today that said it took 3 weeks to get a...

    Arken: Too Good to Be True Chinese Glass?

    I see a lot of You Tube personalities and social media talk about Arken. The 4-16x44 zero stop 30mm EPL scope has a good looking reticle on their site. Is this stuff dressed up Chinese garbage or decent optics? I have a rifle an Arken might make sense if it’s repeatable on dialing and has...

    KRG Spigot?

    I am going to go down the KRG Bravo road again. I had a minimalist spigot on one I had before. It made for a steady platform, but I am considering skipping the spigot. What are the benefits of the spigot and does it make a noticeable difference vs just mounting a bipod on the forestock?

    Hunting with Non-Illuminated FFP

    Anyone hunt with a FFP that isn’t illuminated? I’m curious if a hunting friendly FFP design is doable without illumination, especially at the 8-10x range.

    Rebarrel Tikka or Just Buy New Rifle?

    Would you have a reputable smith like Southern Precision (BugHoles) put a new, quality barrel on your Tikka CTR, thread barrel and true the action or just buy a new CTR? Price would be similar.

    Burris Optics Overall Impressions/Reliability

    I’m so impressed with the new Burris Veracity PH 3-15x44, I’m buying another one. So far, tracking has been reliable dialed out to 1K and return to zero. The ED glass is nice as well. What are yalls impressions of Burris optics if you’ve used them? I see they are made in Philippines.

    CTR Barreled Action in New Echo Chassis?

    The Echo appears to be more of a universal fit for the T3x, but I wonder if it will accept a CTR barreled action. The questions I have are is the barrel channel wide enough and will a standard Tikka polymer mag work in a CTR. If there are some weight savings with the Echo over the Bravo, I’m...

    Suppressor Velocity Boost in Relation to Caliber Size

    I have a Banish Backcountry 30 caliber suppressor. I get a 30-40 FPS velocity boost with my 308, about 20 FPS boost with my 6.5 Creedmoor and almost no boost with my 6mm ARC. Anyone notice the biggest velocity boost with calibers that match the suppressor?

    Rotating Case while Seating Bullets?

    I’ve always raised ram till my ogive engaged the seating stem and then seated bullet in one stroke. I’ve read where some recommend seating bullet halfway, backing the case out, rotating it 180 degrees and then fully seating bullet. I tried the rotating bit last night loading up 50 168 ELDMs in...
