    Short Barrel GT? 6 or 22?

    It is a bit beyond a Ackley Improved, as it actually raises the shoulder.

    Number of Factory Loads when Breaking In New Rifle?

    YES! I would use Patch Out or Wipe Out a couple of times, then some dry patches. It will leave a light film...Which IS a Good Thing!

    Number of Factory Loads when Breaking In New Rifle?

    Just go shoot. Try some of the Berger ammunition (130 and 140) and the Hornady match ammo (140 ELD-M and the 147 ELD-M). Get a box of each, and see which one your barrel like, THEN, go buy bulk

    Short Barrel GT? 6 or 22?

    I have ran the 6mm Long Dasher from a 15", 6 Creed in a 15" and a 16", 6mm BR in a 15", and a 6 Dasher in a 17" with the 105-108's. If you want numbers, let me know

    Short Barrel GT? 6 or 22?

    I can probably get you some short barrel numbers. Tom Jacobs runs a 15" or 16" 6 GT in a specialty pistol, and I bet he or George has some numbers for 20-22". I will try to get some numbers with bullets from the 103 Vapor Trail to the 109 ELD-M's.

    Savage barrels

    As mentioned multiple times, it would be wise to use a barrel other than Savage

    Savage barrels

    Contact Savage, and ask the differences in the barrel contour. I cannot find the specific contour for these two barrels. Make sure these barrel contours will work with your existing stock. You are going to be purchasing a Savage barrel from Savage, correct? The TR barrel has a 1-12 twist, while...

    Folding Chassis or Fixed- Your Preference & Why?

    Folding is what I would pick, IF I had a rifle with a chassis. For all of the reasons already mentioned. Plus, when in unusual shooting positions (like on slopes or having to shoot up, especially when you are facing down), where the buttstock impedes you , you can fold it, and shoot it while...

    Looking at a .300 PRC build to shoot 2000 Yards

    This will work...Using the suppressor you already have is wise. If it works for you, great! If not, you can put a brake on it-Good thinking on your part! This is extremely doable with this set-up Myself and others have done it with less-Enjoy!
