Ok, looking for insight...

Gas guns tend to lose brass, so.. will starline 6mm creed brass perform well? A couple of guys at long range hunting form say it works well enough. Will I be able to get .75moa consistently with the starline case? What about lifespan? It is rather cheap and they also offer discounts for MIL.

Next - are you gasgunners hellbent on the JP bolt? My current bolt is a large firing pin. Was curious if large primers with a magnum rifle primer would handle the pressure and produce reasonable results?

I keep looking at using the 115 dtac. Other than a 'low' velocity, is there anything else I should be concerned with? A few people claim it has rather good g7 bc and again it is cheap. Looking to bang gongs at 600-1000yds or make alpha box hits on uspsa paper. Center mass.

If the newest version of the dtac actually meets the reported claims (varied) of .30-.32 g7 bc... it may be worth the lower velocity to still be predictable.

I am looking at the total cost of ammunitions due to being a gas gun. Thinking a good whidden head for the dillon 650 would be in order.

Was thinking 22-24" barrel length.

Please point me in the right direction, share insight and well - if am completely mistaken then kick my ass in a direction that works.

Appreciated.
 
This may have been resolved but I've seen several posts in the past about guys having the really long pointy 6mm's hang up or get badly scored by the feedramp and lug area during feeding. I think I remember the 110SMK and 115Dtac specifically mentioned, the posters went back to tangent profile bullet and all was well.
 
Interesting.

I read one of those. Seemed like the barrel had no feed cone in it. I believe the resolve was a proper feed cone and polishing the ramps?

Also, i thought the 110 was unhappy about jump difference?

Do you happen to recall the thread name?
 
110s did not feed on my JP barrel which had a generous feed cone.

Polishing the ramps does nothing as the bullet is not making contact with the ramp.
