    .223 ai worth it

    Not 10" but 6" less I get the groups from your 2nd from the left varget and 3050fps with the 75amax. No pressure. Got up to 3100 but accuracy was about .75" and not one hole anymore.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Just get a triad with adjustments. The purpose or the gamescout, warden and eh1 etc are to cut down on weight for a hunting rifle. Not really a shame since the weight on this thing is pretty good. No need to add a lb or more in hardware.

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting

    That's interesting. I've had mixed. Blew a coyote in half with one, then my brother shot a coues deer with one and it acted like a FMJ. I had had great results with the Amax on coues, so I figured the BTHP would be fine. Must've been a fluke his didn't open, or it just opens better on larger...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting

    6.5 Creed. 143gr ELD-X about 2800 fps. This was 865yds last week. Went in the front shoulder and blew out the neck through an artery. He didn't go more than 50yds. Blood was uh... not difficult to follow. Jacket blew off nicely inside and did a lot of devastation to vitals. Exit was about an...

    Browning X-Bolt for Long Range Target shooting

    The version not in the McMillan, but with the fluting, brake, cerakote job, adjustable trigger and bedding in 6.5 Creed shoots really well. I helped 2 of my coworkers set theirs up and they both shot half moa or better with the Hornady black box 143gr. That one in the McMillan I'm sure would be...

    X-Caliber Barrels. Very happy

    Got my light barreled 6.5 Creedmoor on another Tikka action in a McMillan Gamescout. Quite happy. I used some old creed loads to sight in on the center target, then began load development. Top left was the start, then top right, then bottom left. Groups went .5", then .25", then .2". Not...

    Low Velocity from New Rifle

    Did you test it at some distance to see if that was actually the case between the two rifles and not an accidental poor setup of the magnetospeed on the new rifle?

    Weight of McRee G7

    I believe the weight is the threat of a lawsuit if you don't buy their product... https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/6591521-uhh-mcrees-may-want-to-rethink-this-one-maybe

    Wanting a 6.5 creedmoor for hunting build or buy?

    I'm a huge Tikka fan, but other than the CTR which is a little heavier, they don't have a good creed hunting option. The Hells Canyon is pretty slick. I've talked a few co-workers into them and they shoot 1/2moa with the hornady factory 143ELDX's. Action runs nice and the trigger is adjustable.

    20 Practical Load

    Thats cookin. I'd probably push the limits a bit more on a bolt gun. I was pretty happy with what i'm getting on a 20" AR. Definitely want a barrel for pdogs for my Tikka action.

    X-Caliber Barrels. Very happy

    6-7 weeks I believe. First one was like a month, but that was a year and a half ago.

    X-Caliber Barrels. Very happy

    Just thought I'd give X-Caliber some love. I got my first barrel from them on my AR in 20 practical. Its been a hammer. After that I picked up a 223AI and a 260Rem for Tikka's and now have a 6.5Creed on the way. The 223AI has been shooting one small hole about every single outing and has...

    20 Practical Load

    Just for those who venture into this caliber and can't find load data, I'll share mine. I got a match barrel from Xcaliber for an ar15 that I've been really happy with. To start with loading, I bought a 223 bushing full length sizer and bought a bushing to neck it down to .204. After you run...

    Problems with accuracy international 223 polymer mags

    This is a several years old concern. Older ones worked, newer ones suck. They have a very high fail rate. I have a newer one that is working, but I haven't ran it hard yet. I switched to accurate mag.

    What powder are you using in that 180gr target photo?

    EH1A or T6A?

    Maybe it's just big hands or something, but I own both and really prefer the t6a and would rather have 2. The eh1 isn't bad, it's just slimmer everywhere and I don't like the fit as much. If it's more match and a little hunting, I'd do elite fill t6a. I ran a dual build for a while in the elite...
