Bix n Andy triggers - single or two stage?

I don’t reload at the moment, so limited to factory offerings. I indeed have a box of 139 lapua’s in my cupboard for if and when I get to reload for the 6.5

To anyone who is interested, the topic at hand the S&B Creedmoor ammo. Is it worth it? I’m undecided. I believe it’s marketed as a training round or plinking ammo. It’s not target minded I don’t think just being FMJ. Out of a 26” plus a moddy it meters in at 2734fps with a “ok” BC of 0.51. Strelok tells me this gets me out to 900m supersonic. Unknown transonic performance. Compare this to Norma, 130gr which it quite hot at 2930 FPS with a BC of 0.548. This gets me out to 1100m supersonic. Ultimately the Norma and hornady options are better options.... but certainly more expensive. Average accuracy is seen with the S&B, I consistently grouped 1” with it. Ultimately the user needs to decide what accuracy they are happy with. Both Norma & hornady group 0.5-0.8” respectively. I’m struggling to see where the S&B falls in. Gets you out to most distances on Bisley, but when wanting to stretch the legs of it to it’s full potential (let’s say visiting Orion) there is clearly better options. For me, I can defo see a Home for S&B to run a barrel in far cheaper. But unless I’ve top shelf speed & accuracy, the whole reason I’ve got a 6.5CM barrel then I’m going to use my .308 as a training round and save the barrel burning Creedmoor for extended ranges.

https://coletac.eu/ Completely custom. Once you’ve choosen your model, chose colour of fabric, thread colour etc.... made to measure to fit any mod. Would recommend

Thank you. It’s 20” .308 barrel, albeit in a 16” forend tube off the AXMC. I also have a 26” 6.5CM barrel with it, which I haven’t used as much as I would have liked!

Thought I should finally get around to posting up a pic of my AX308:

Anyone know the twist rate for the barrel on the 6.5CM STR
