QUESTION?
I have a Sako S20 in 6.5 PRC. Great rifle. I want to put a carbon barrel on it. I am convinced that having a 7.5 or 7 twist on this caliber would be beneficial, especially if I want to run loads similar to the Hornady ELDX 143. I am also convinced that the only real benefit to a cold hammer forged barrel that is offered on most stoeger rifles is that no break in is required. This makes sense for a person who would have this gun their entire life and only use it as a hunting rifle. Having a bit less weight wouldn’t hurt once I get my precision front end and a few attachments.

My ideal end game is a S20 with:
Carbon barrel (proof, Bartlein, or boss)
CTR forward set trigger
Precision front end, hunter back end

Do these rifles use the same barrels as t3x light?
Who offers a carbon barrel for this rifle?

Hi everyone
Currently working on my 300 PRC rifle

Build:
Defiance Ruckus Tactical
MdT Acc elite
Bartlein 28” 9t
Cortina tuner at 0

Lapua 2x fired
Cci br2
Berger 220 LRHT
15thou off
After 250 rounds down the barrel I meticulously prepared the 2x fired brass for consistent neck tension.

Ran a ocw from 77.2 to 80.8 in 0.3 increments.

What I see is that the obt node in QL is 1.430ms which was giving me consistent POI from 77.8 to 78.1 in 3 different range days around 2850fps

This is the target from last month


I ran this test yesterday I see some differences in Poi and I don’t know what the heck happened to 77.8. It might be me?!




77.2 2815fps
77.5 2837fps
77.8 2851fps
78.1 2857fps
78.4 2880fps
78.7 2886fps
79.0 2903fps
79.3 2910fps
79.6. 2915fps
79.9 2931fps
80.2 2947fps
80.5 2963fps
80.8 2969fps



Bolt at 80.2 bolt was heavy but nothing that scares me.

I ran a seating depth test at 79.3 and didn’t like it at all.
What do you guys think about running seating depth in the middle of 78.4-78.7?
Or Even 79.3-79.6
POI is the same.
Velocity is flattened with ES of 8

Probably a good thing… red dye has been a risk for a long time.

I have been using 77 gr SMK’s but the TMK’s higher BC has me interested. The 77 TMK’s seem to be unobtainium but I see the 69’s time to time and with the added velocity it would give up very little and should perform better than my 77 SMK’s. Thing is, it seems the 77 TMK’s don’t seem to shoot as accurately as the 77 SMK’s from research in ar’s.

Just looking for experience with them.

I'm about to install a 6.5cm SS proof research prefit barrel on my Zermatt arms origin action and saw on proofs video on YouTube they use what looks like breakthrough battle born grease on the barrel thread when installing it. Is that grease ok to use instead of an anti seize. Or should I use a copper or silver or some other kimd of anti seize? Everyone seems to have a different opinion and I'm not sure what to use.
Thanks,
Justin

Hey guys,

Looking to try and set up a tripod for some bolt guns. Read a bunch on here about the Innorel RT90C. Couple guys have mentioned using the Innorel n52 ball head with it. Looking on Amazon, do I need the tripod and the bowl adapter?

My rifles don't have ARCA rails, so I'm leaning toward a clamp type mount.

So, to complete that type setup. I just need a clamp eh? Anyone got recommendations on one? Or if I'm missing some piece from the overall package. It's a little confusing with the different pieces and the different ##mm measurement patterns.

Also open to complete build suggestions. Just not a wild RRS setup, I'm not there yet
