6 dasher and 6.5x47 are the easiest rounds I have ever loaded for.

I'm near convinced I could throw anything into a 6.5x47 case and it would give me results i could compete with.

We’ll see, but also who cares? Anybody who owns a 28 Nosler doesn’t care about barrel life. These rifles arent going to see 1000+ rounds/year…most won’t see 200 rounds in their owners lifetime.

The proposed mechanism though is that there is less propellant and less abrasion/flame cutting because of that over x amount of time. I’ve ~ 100 rounds through mine. This what the throat looks like so far. Seems the same or better than 7mm Rem Mag/PRC/300WM/PRC that I’ve seen…seems maybe slightly different/worse than 6.5 Creed at the same interval? Not sure borescope pics mean anything unless you’re trying to clean out a carbon ring etc and need to verify you got it.

So we are looking at heat expansion, slightly out of spec chamber or brass sizing, or a combination of the above.

When I was going through the purchasing process and decided what I wanted, the blokes at NIOA and Barrett went so far out of their way to help me. Mick Cubis is the CS guy that was helping me. Absolute chad. I love NIOA and Barrett.

I will say though......if i had to 100% depend on and optic not to fail.....it would be the ATACR !!

Last reduction to $375

Bump with updated inventory and more options

The ATACR while being a superbly dependable scope is not in the same league a the S&B 6-36 Glass/Optical wise !!

The S&B 6-36 has far better resolution, greater edge to edge clarity and superior image Depth/Contrast...

S&B,s latest series 6-36 and the 10-60 have superb glass...

Plenty sporter 30 cal rifles are fitted with ~16.5mm muzzle diameter and use M14x1 muzzle thread but recently I am sure Sako are using M15x1 even up to 9.3x62. They seem to be happy with the small shoulder. I had an expert rifle smith fit a Suppressor using M16x1 on a 16.5mm Lothar Walther barrel. (he was an electrician by trade) even though there is only 0.5mm shoulder the supperssor and 308 rifle are working fantastic since more than twelve years. Only ever shot with suppressor. M15x1 should be ok.

Agreed, outside of the USA I'd say M14x1 or M15x1 is the most common thread for sporter weight barrels.
9/16x24 is about 14.3mm and is what I'd go for.

Tikka started offering the D18 profile that can take a 5/8x24 thread, but for standard lite profile need to go a bit smaller than that.
