    Firing Pin Issue?

    If it has a cocking piece that is held to fp with a crosspim, like a rem700, I've saw that crosspin break/drift out and drag on bolt shroud. It caused random light strikes and took awhile to diagnose. The trigger drag is harder to diagnose and one reason I prefer bix.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    I like carbon for a hunting barrel, but if it's gonna bang steel and maybe hunt every 2 yrs.....I'm gonna get a med palma steel barrel and save 400-500.00 on every barrel.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    A 1000+ rds this year? FYI, 6.5prc is pretty much same case capacity as a 6.5-284. Those used in f class generally get set back at 800rds and then replaced at 1200ish rds. At least you won't have to deal with the barrel much over a yr, lol.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    I said pretty much exactly same thing 7 or 8 posts up. It's annoying, but if it shoots good and is truly a hunting rifle, I'd just let it bump.

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    I'll keep it in mind, but I've shot that load in blowing dust storms, rain and freezing rain. It's been nothing but we'll mannered. If I was getting loose primers at 3 or 4 firings, ok, but it's just been plugging along. Also as far as predictable, it's been used on nuisance permit deers at...

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    Not to derail, but have 1800rds on that barrel and this brass is on 12 firing. I switched over to 140eldm to kind of standardize as other 6.5 guns use that bullet. The group at 550 was shot within the last 2 months. Op a couple of those groups don't look horrible, and as another said, try...

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    I've got a 26" med palma bart 6.5creed that it's money load is 140eldm@2885. It's warm for sure, but no pressure signs in lapua brass in a badger action. It shot ok at slower speeds but really woke up when I got into higher node.

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    Might move up in charge, unless you were seeing pressure. Here's my 20" proof with h4350 and lapua brass With rl16 on my old ae mk2: With 140eldm@550, 4rds:

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    Weird, I've got 2 proof prefits that shoot in the .2-.3s. I'd have no problem getting another.

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    I find a super light trigger is counter productive to shooting tiny groups off a bipod. On a Farley front with 15lb rear bumblebee bag, 2-4oz triggers are nice. Using a bipod and rear bag/beanbag, a single stage sub12oz trigger gives me some issues.

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    Arc mounts are different than conventional rings, hence the "unusually high" torque. I've got several proof barrels, steel and carbon, and they all shoot. I've got a steel proof on an ai in 6.5creed that is wicked accurate with 140 and 147 eldm. Try some handloads with the eldm .025 off...

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Abrasive compounds, stiff bore brush, and a drill were used to fuck up that barrel. Bronze brushes will not hurt a bore. Used correct size brushes for bore size, no abrasive cleaners, hand run cleaning rods and don't change directions of brush inside bore. Following these simple rules, there...

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    My experience is with 1 carbon barrel, a proof 6creed. I bought it used(100rds) and worked up a load with 107smk@2990fps(22"). It has stayed extremely consistent with as much as 100rds on dirty barrel. But this is just 1 example.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    About the only thing you'll see with mag primers is worse sd/especially, in 6 5prc. I've used cci br2 and 200 in 4 different 6.5prc barrels and 1 7prc. I've never had althea problems you are having. How long has the ammo been loaded? I've saw bullet weld to brass that caused all kinds of...

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Maybe not apples to apples, but I tested some carbon removers awhile back on carboned up brakes. Kg1 cleaned the most in a set time frame, compared to some others, boretech being one of them.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    I mean, hoppes #9 is not that effective anymore without benzene. Kg1 for carbon and boretech eliminator for copper/carbon is master race.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Depending on rate of fire, contour, and barrel steel quality....it's entirely possible. It's burning 58+gr every shot, it ain't a 29.xgr 6br, lol. Op, are you letting next rd to be fired sit in a hot chamber very long(10+ sec)?

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    That is a upper end load in my barrel, [email protected]. Not max pressure, but close to book max, and I didn't have more than 1-1.5gr until I got heavier bolt lift. Can't speak to ops load, but it isn't super mild.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    80fps increase is alot. How many rds on barrel? That barrel would drive me nuts.

    6.5 prc barrel lenght

    H4831sc works good in 20-22" barrels with 130-140gr bullets too
