FN SPR PBR Build

[wichitaguns]

Howdy, I have one FN SPR and a PBR actions to build in. I was considering putting two douglas barrels on them. Any experiences with these, suggestions?
Thinking of making both 6.5 cm or one 6.5 and one ...some other caliber since i.alredy own a 308

7-08 AI, do one at 18” and one at 26”. Everybody has creeds.

Hmmm. I like the idea. Will have to look at the ballistic curves. I.like the idea of one 6.5cm to take advantage of the ammo availability. But one I. 7mm-08 makes a lotta sense

That’s not a bad way to go either, I’ve been really digging into shot barrel comparisons, both the 7-08 and the 6.5 creedmoor make interesting shorties, I’m settling in on an 18” barrel 7-08 because I can set it up for pretty good mid-long range performance and I have more options for heavier bullet weights for hunting. From what I have seen using 4DOF for simple comparison, a 150 grain 7 mm eld-x doesn’t lose much at all to a 147 grain 6.5 at similar velocities and the 7-08 gives you pretty good performance up into the 175 grain range with short barrels. Should provide me with a good practical sized, low recoil rifle, for the <500 yard shots I can take around here and will let me play around with longer distance on the few occasions I can. What I can’t decide on at the moment is what action I want to use, too many good options these days.
