    6mm PPC

    I am in the process of getting my hands on a 6mm PPC bench gun. The barrel is 14 twist rate. What bullets would you suggest? I understand 14 is probably not going to stabilize a 107gr SMK, so what would be a good size? I am used to SMK's but not stuck on them. I will be shooting 300 yards bench...

    Re: Sako rifle conversion Steve, Thanks for the advice. I already have the reamer, but (fingers crossed) I think i can return it to midway for a refund. I think I am going to hold on to the brass and bullets for now, this is still a caliber i want, but I am not in a position to buy a 1200...

    Sako rifle conversion

    Re: Sako rifle conversion I am not sure how to react, so wanted to hear an opinion or two and needed a place to vent. After all of the research and gunsmith shopping I found a guy that said he would have no issue doing this conversion for me. I left him my gun and a deposit on the barrel etc...

    Re: She made Daddy proud. Nothing would make me happier than to have my daughter with me on the hunt, I can't imagine the pride you were feeling. Although she is only 4 she has her own gun (.22) and I have a .243 waiting in the wings for her to ask me to go hunting. Jason
