Hi Josh,

I was right to pick your 6 GT Barrel. After breaking in the barrel I went out this morning and it definitely shoots lights out. You guys make great barrels. I just screwed it on to the Defiance action, torqued to 80 pounds and went shooting...

This morning I shot six 3-shot groups. The first three groups were done to get a more accurate zero than I had during Breaking in (22mph gusts then). Below are the last three shot groups today, measured using the Hornady app. The barrel now has 43-shots through it. Lights out and repeatable!

Thanks again!!

Woo! Nice shooting. I'm glad you're pleased, that's why we do this. Enjoy!

Any aac 77s on hand ? Think G had that group as part of their promo.

It was the AAC 77gr TMKs, but I'll shoot if again just for you



I put the 1/2" red dots I shoot at 100rds on the boxes of ammo that don't work out, it also hated the 69gr AAC SMK's

When I take the 18" SPR out for load development I'll shoot every type of factory 5.56/.223 ammo I have on hand so y'all can see what she like and hates.

Keep in mind the AAC stuff isn't what I'd call consistent.

SD becomes more important the further you go out, and if it sucks...no amount of skill will make up for the vertical dispersion you are going to get.

But yes, nothing builds skill more than skilled practice and guidance from those with experience. That really wasn't in the OPs question though.

I still somehow manage single digit SDs with a quasi-decent beam scale. The expensive digital ones will be more accurate (and especially faster...which is necessary for some). I always bounce my chronograph numbers with actual drop data at 650 yards (just what I have readily available). If I hold groups with less than 1/3 MOA vertical...I'm pretty content. And I'm still able to do this on an outdated beam scale.

Quality brass DOES make a difference, as does all of the other components. Never miss a chance to buy the good stuff. Average factory brass will have as much of an effect on SD due to case capacity variance as using a cheap powder scale.

How far away was your furthest kill with the 6 ARC?

Late season Nebraska hunt harvested two white tail does. Longest shot was at 187 yards. Link to thread below.


I'll have to search through my field book to see what velocities I'm getting out of the NEMO. I'm shooting a Recon now, 18" barrel, so no doubt I'm loosing a little velocity out of the magnum cartridge. That rifle is much easier to maneuver, and carry, at that length, especially suppressed. Side note that I'm using a HUXWRX 762 flow and it has performed flawlessly on all my gas guns. Probably a little louder than a typical baffled can but the flow-through reduces increased bolt carrier group velocities seen with other suppressors and some gas guns are known to be very finicky when suppressed.

Reminds me of this

I'm using a 22-250 kit. Works fine. Did find it doesn't seat the primers (BR4 or 450s) deep enough to ignite consistently.

Has anyone used the 308 conversion kit for their xl650/750 to load 6gt?

There are still those who're left out, definitely affected, and 'lasting effects' because of that gong-show. There's requests, agreements, and integrity that which a good amount of time, effort and development went into.

Then to have the rug pulled out from under them..... not so easy to put a price on, is it? The number of people that I personally know of, is 4. And I don't have all that big of a circle.....

EVERYTHING all started to shift sideways, go downhill, and become exposed... when I was on a phone-call with theif and asked him if he knew or knew of Louis Corkern? (was that a typo?)

Suddenly, after denials.... "emergency trips to the Ukraine" were needed. I believe the latest term used is therefore "ghosted".

Everything done up-to that point..... put a price on that.

Most owners experienced with 700 pattern custom 22LRs have had to become low key rifle “tuners” to get them running smoothly with even 1 type of mag, let alone several brands. I know from experience. For prospective owners, a barreled action with mag, already tuned to the specific chassis would go a long way. Otherwise manufacturers open themselves up to a lot of online criticisms when $2500+ “builds” run like shit because the new owner is not an amateur gunsmith. I think that’s why CZ builds and Bergaras are still so prevalent. My Duece is accurate, and becoming smoother as I get more experienced with tuning, initial ownership experience has not alway been joyful, considering the cost.

Add another "zero issues here".

i believe this is somebody's interpretation and not necessarily the real truth.

Nothing would surprise me about Angleton. He was a zealot… and an “interesting” guy. No one will ever know how interesting. He was that interesting!

Sirhr

PS Matt Damon character in The Good Shepherd was based on Angleton. Doesn’t even come close…. But DeNiro was always a retard as a director and producer.
