Mind sharing what kind of velocities you've gotten so far? And what's the difference between BRX & BRA?
I don't have ammo loaded yet for it. It is a reamer of my design... nothing really special. .246 neck and 85 fb. It was a .260 fb for the 95skm and it LOVED them. I hope to shoot the 75 eld right at 3k with r15 or varget. Quick loads says I should be able to... I will know in a few weeksMind sharing what kind of velocities you've gotten so far?

Looks good, how do you like that stock?View attachment 7742358
Not quite finished product, but getting close. Haven't torqued the barrel up yet as I need to find a gunsmith to throat it for longer bullets. Scope came in Monday, but its too close to the barrel for caps even with Hawkins highs.
What color Cerakote should I go with on the barrel ends and the action?
It feels really good. They fit a lot of features in a 32oz stockLooks good, how do you like that stock?
Man love that look! Really close to how I'll have mine setup except for a KRG Bravo. What is the barrel length/contour?View attachment 7742358

That looks really good. How’s the silencer sound? I’m still debating one of those 5’s for my 308 shorty.View attachment 7728534

I'm acquiring parts for a very similar build, 16.5 C6 LW 6.5c, Origin SA, same stock and optic.

What does the rest of that Landcruiser look like? What is that a 96-97 FJ-80?Tikka 8 twist 223.
Chopped and fluted by LRI.
Atacr in M10s on a 419 rail.
Turbo K til the ultra 7 is free.
Mathews riser keeps the blinker in line.
Tikka vertical grip.
Mountain tactical billet mags for extra coal.
Sterk shifter.
Needs a bipod.
Shoots 75 ELDMs at 2850.

The front oil seals and the HG were major issues for the LC. I had a 97 that I sold years ago. Ran like a champ, but ultimately, I got tired of doing axle seal replacements.95
Funny you should ask- it's got about 300 on the clock and just started blowing blue smoke pretty heavy- I'm coordinating with my mechanic now.
Gonna rebuild the top end ( bottom is good) then due 2" OME lift, 35s, and bumpers, maybe roof tent.
It's served it's time as a daily and now is getting fixed up for camping / expo duty.
They're amazing rigs- the head gasket is the Achilles due to an afterthought EGR design, but after that's done I expect to get another 200k assuming gas is even legal for the next couple decades.
Holy crap, there are some sexy rifles in this thread but this one is definitely in the top for me. Well done sir!View attachment 7728534

I know. I've got an ultra 7 in jail and just might add an ultra 5.Holy crap, there are some sexy rifles in this thread but this one is definitely in the top for me. Well done sir!
I have a 5 and a 9. The 9 makes stuff quite where ear pro is not needed. I mostly use it when at the range and don't want to use ear pro. Now the 5 I bought just for hunting when I just don't need my ears blown out. It is still loud. I love it for its shortness. Make movement a breeze. Not to mention. It fits in a pack really well.I know. I've got an ultra 7 in jail and just might add an ultra 5.
Just my first rounds down range.Mind sharing what kind of velocities you've gotten so far? And what's the difference between BRX & BRA?

It’s just a RRS m-lok direct bolt on ARCA rail section. You can get one any number of places.What kind of attachment are you using for your cross? I've got a cross and I'm looking into getting a tripod setup.
Haha. You should just go all AR hipster and put the 419 faux can flash bang forwarder thing on it under the rail.Ran into a rather unique problem. New chassis. Planned on switching out my 28" for one of my 18" 6.5 barrels. I could get away with 19" but figured I'd round out at 20" for a slight buffer.
It is the Vision. I got it from Rick at GCP Rifle Co. They do make 3 different length fore-ends from what I've seen. Tons of accessories and super modular.What chassis is that? Like the looks of it other than I won't be able to run my 18" 223 in it.
TraitorCan't be part of this club anymore. Could have gone 19" and been good, but decided to err on the side of caution and go 20". View attachment 7772600
Switched actions, too?Can't be part of this club anymore. Could have gone 19" and been good, but decided to err on the side of caution and go 20". View attachment 7772600
I have 2 TL3s. One is DLC coated and the other isn't. I still have the 18" on the non-DLC receiver. I switch things up with my bolt guns like guys do with AR accessories.Switched actions, too?
I get 2610fps from a 175 SMK and 44.1gr of Varget out of my 18.5" with a mild load. Hodgdon states max charge with this combo to be 45gr. I've shot it all the way to 2760fps with Lapua Palma brass.308 guys, what kind of velocities/ballistics are you getting from these barrel lengths? I've got a 24" 11vt barrel I plan to thread and install soon but I'm unsure if I want to chop it yet or leave it long. The rifle will have a silencer 95% of the time.
Tight bore? 2760 with 175s out of an 18.5" That has to be pushing pretty hard no? I went with 168gr TMKs for my XM3 build just to keep the velocity up and not sacrifice too much BC. Having said that I got 2630fps with my old 20" 700 5R I used to have.I get 2610fps from a 175 SMK and 44.1gr of Varget out of my 18.5" with a mild load.

It's a Hart XM3 barrel with whatever the XM3 reamer spec is. The 2760fps was with 45.5gr of Varget, so yeah, it's hot and very compressed. I like to see how far I can go pressure wise right before I start blowing primers and that's where I cut my testing. I would never shoot it regularly at that pressure. 2600fps gets me to 1000 easily so I'd rather save my brass than push it.Tight bore? 2760 with 175s out of an 18.5" That has to be pushing pretty hard no?

Well that makes me excited cause that's the exact barrel I have waiting for me at DST. DST is sponsored by Hart so I'm sure we can get the reamer as well. 2610 is solid though with that round. Did you do an XM3 clone? Was that the reason for sticking with the 175s? I thought about it but just wanted a bit of velocity gain and given the high BC of the 168gr TMK I figured 2650 would be relatively easy to hit.It's a Hart XM3 barrel with whatever the XM3 reamer spec is.
