    What is best twist rate for 6mm GT?

    Assume 2850 FPS with 109 Berger Hybrid. Is there any reason to not go with a 1 in 7” twist?

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    6.5 x 47 Lapua and borrow a rifle for Elk hunt. It is just so easy to load for great accuracy. Almost everything works in a Bartlein 1 in 8” twist.

    Shooting 1,000+ and Using a Drone as a Spotter

    I think the drone is a nice toy for the purpose and fun to play with. I have a drone and have done this. It is not all that practical as mentioned above, but who cares. Eventually I will have my own long range property and will invest in a target cam at that point. One of the most fun things...

    223 vs 6.5 Creedmoor advice/question for you guys?

    First of all, I'm sorry your range only has 200 yards max. That is not much fun for more than a .17 or .22 rimfire. If it is only one or the other, I would suggest the Bartlein .223 in 1:7 twist at about 26". I have a custom .223 and a custom 6.5 x 47 Lapua. Eventually, you will want both as...

    Advice, to build or buy?

    I will just say I love my Heavy Palma 6.5 x 47 Bartlein 1:8 5r Barrrel.

    Advice, to build or buy?

    Bighorn TL3 might be your action based on your requirements. Lead times can be longish however. You can get these in barreled actions or do the barrel install yourself with a pre-fit barrel and required tools.

    Advice, to build or buy?

    Yes, definitely go full custom build with your budget. Yes, you can easily install a barreled action in a chassis yourself. The most important component of a rifle for accuracy is the barrel. Shop for your barrel first. Determine what you want. For me, that meant a Bartlein 1:8 twist 5r in...

    How much will I lose assembling the rifle myself?

    The Bighorn TL3 is a great suggestion. It can take all the Savage pre-fits. This is the best known premium action that you can assemble a barrel for in your basement (with a few tools and research). It is not difficult. If $1250 is a bit tall for an action, you can get a Savage action and...

    Storing a Precision Rifle Sitting on a Bipod Okay?

    Thanks for all the constructive replies. It has been entertaining.

    Storing a Precision Rifle Sitting on a Bipod Okay?

    Is there any harm in storing a rifle in firing position/sitting on a bipod per the photo below of my .223 fun rifle? The only issue I can think of is fatigue on the action screws as the barrel is cantilevered.

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Rebarrel one of your .308's in 6.5. Save dollars and get a better barrel than anything in a factory rifle.
  20. IndianaRem5r

    opinions wanted: 223, x47L, or 308?

    I have one of each in custom builds. I hardly shoot the .308 due to poor ballistics, recoil, and powder consumption. Given that you have access to 800 yards and have to select only one, I'd go with the 6.5 x 47 Lapua. Reasons include ability to see splash (and hits on steel) and buck wind at...
