No i deer

I didn't see the mitsi veneers 🤔

6.5x47 with 142gr and N160

It's nearing the time for me to get a 338 lap mag then 😁

Looks like you have everything you need 🤣. You could of bought alot of factory ammo from what you've spent on kit 😉.

The cases will soon stretch.. 2 or 3 thousanths on firing and around the same resizing them..

Yeah it was he loved it.. He said it was pressure shooting in the tight timings He has plans for a cheytac and the whole build I think but sourcing the parts is the hard bit.

A club mate who is a member of the FCSA who shot at last years 50 cal world championships at Raton also had the oppertunity to shoot in the KO2M. He was lent the gun and the ammo by some generous american team which was a 375 cheytac.. I think he was 11th overall.. He engaged the first three ranges but didn't connect with the 4th range..

He's like Stephen Fry on steroids when it gets going 🤣😂

You've swallowed a dictionary again BD 🤣😂

I chipped in to put some humour into the thread as i could see it taking a sudden turn for the worst and it's not worth falling out over.!! There's more serious matters going on around us to argue about 1 thousanths of an inch 😁 Atb NID

The normal barrels blanks are expensive enough 😅

You gotta know your onions 😁

Aesthetically pleasing more than anything then.. Cost wise how much more does it add to the price of the barrel blank..?

Dont forget the sour grapes 😁

I had 2000 shots with my current 6.5x47 and it's been great and have another barrel ready too be fitted to follow on for when my current one dies.. it's shot great out to 1000yds but I use it mainly out to 600yds and has plenty of legs to do that. I prefer a 7mm bullet for long range 😁

Thanks Varm. I read an article not long ago and si snipe was using 147gr ELDM's in his 6.5x47 and I think he was running about 2770fps on or very near 41grs of RS62.. Nearly 200fps down on somebody on this thread was getting 2960fps I think on 46grs of N160 in their creedmoor 😳. 200fps is a huge difference.. This may see a pressure spike on a warm day 😅

Will the carbon wrapped barrels make it more work for a gunsmith to work on.? A different approach..? Atb NID

I thought the N160 I have in stock for my 284 for launching the 180gr ELDM's would of fed my 6.5x47 aswell being on my last 1kg of RS62 which is lasting too long at the mo 🙄. I do have a few 142gr smks I could use to find the oal for Mark to run the figures with.. The RS62 quickload predictions are very close to what I got. 41.5grs didn't shoot or feel right when I tested it.. 41grs was much better. When my new barrel is fitted it will be 3 inches shorter which was another reason I hoped the N160 would have a higher performance..

I would say yes. I will check mine later

The best way has to be with a primer pocket uniformer and it also keeps the primer seated at the proper depth as they get shallower every firing.. They may take out brass up to 10 firings until they've finished stretching and mainly take of the carbon. Being seated to the right depth may also stop any piercing of the primers and any high primers that's proud of the case base

At 41.5grs of RS62 in my 47 the 139gr scenar doesn't seat to the desired comparator measure as it's compressing.. sometimes 2 pumps and a a slight adjustment on the micrometre to get them within a thousanth as it's pretty compressed... Seat a bullet without any powder and it seats really easily..

44grs of RS62 In a creedmoor..??

42grs tapping the case a few times settled at bottom of the neck and would be slightly compressed with a 140gr amax. A 139gr scenar would be way more compressed. I thought I'd get more powder in than that 🤔.
