Anyone shoot a JP 22" 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel on their gasser?

[Burton]

Do any of you use a JP 22" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on your rifle? What are your likes and dislikes with it? Have you had any problems? How does it perform?

Thanks!

I'll let you know in about 10 weeks when mine comes in.

I've watched them run and fondled them, not shot one yet......from what I've seen, they're hammers.

I own a 6.5 Creedmoor LRP-07 w/ a 22" barrel and love it. It shoots well with 140 Amaxes and H4350.

The one thing I will say if you do plan to reload is you will need to pick up a small base die as I had

trouble chambering rounds with the standard Hornady dies. The chambers on these are tight.

I have a barrel ordered that should be here this week. So I can't opine on that just yet, but likely in a couple of weeks. Good looking barrel- hoping it's a hammer on my upper.

I have the LRP 07, 22" barrel in 6.5 creedmoor and it's more accurate than my custom GAP bolt gun! Unbelievable workmanship and attention to detail... Best rifle I've ever owned.

What die are you using?

Picked up mine on Friday, so far I love it. Only had it out once to zero and shoot some groups. I agree with The Lawn Ranger on the 140's. Mine does not seem to like the factory 129's I bought when nothing else was available. The 140's shot like this for me.

Looks pretty good. I just got mine in the mail. Just need a few more components before it is up and running!

I bought a .260 JP 22" barrel kit to replace my dpms original barrel and shoots great so far. Only have about 3-350 rounds down it so far but runs good tight groups from the gas gun so far. Customer service was top notch with the barrage of questions I had.

What die are you using?

I am using a RCBS SB die currently for FL sizing and running a second operation with the Hornady die with .286 bushing.

Whidden Gunworks is making me a FL SB die that utilizes the Redding bushings. This way one die will cover the two operations.

You would need to send them a once fired case for this type of custom die.

I have competed with a JP LRP-07 in 260 and they are lazer beams. I shoot the 123 A-max at 2950 and have shot several 5 shot groups in the .3" range

Yfzjen, was that a DPMS rifle that you put the JP 22 260 barrel kit on?

 

[yfzjen]

Yes it was a dpms rifle. Only problem I had with the kit was the heat dissipator they send with it wouldn't fit under my forearm so I took it off.
