    6mm Berger choices

    They label each bullet "target" or "hunting" with the exception of a couple "OTM" bullets that are marketed as their tactical lineup. Where's the confusion? The jacket thickness deal explains a primary difference. Lots of people hunt successfully with target bullets but performance of each...

    considering a solus chassis...which size?

    Seems like a nice chassis for the $. I'd get the longer fore-end. More flexibility for rests, weight adding/balancing, and mounting bipod further forward which adds a little stability and leaves more real estate for resting on bags/packs/etc with bipod attached.

    If you've never taken the trigger off it should still be there where it belongs.

    Tikka Magazine Feeding Issue

    Is that little spring steel clip that is under the trigger screw still in place? Those often get missed when people take the triggers off or swap them between stocks.

    Short barrels and bullet stabilization

    Barrel length impacts velocity which impacts bullet RPMs which impacts stability. @khart_6882 - Use one of the stability calculators available online, this is one https://jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmstab-5.1.cgi Compare your current velocity with expected lower velocity after the chop to see...

    Neck shot ethics

    Hunters in general suck at shooting. We miss enough when aiming for lungs. Neck is a smaller target. Doesn't mean it's not ethical in certain scenarios with certain shooters but the majority of hunters are probably playing with fire.

    6.5 PRC dies ?

    I'm generally a fan of standard Forster FL sizing dies with necks honed to desired dimension. The only reason i'd stray from them is if a guy wanted to pay $300 for a SAC modular sizing die or in the PRC's case if they knew a die sized more at the base of the case than forster to combat...

    How to find a reputable outfitter and get a tag for that hunt?

    You can likely both get tags in MT next year by getting the extra outfitter Preference point. I'd be more worried about finding a good outfitter, with openings, in your price range. A good outfitter in that price range probably aint advertising and operating off of word of mouth. Any operation...

    Tikka Preferred prefit contours and stock questions

    @Tahoe1305 My factory 6.5 creed barrel chopped at 18" and threaded 9/16" is 2# 0.6 ounce. PVA 18" 6 creed taperless w/ 5/8 threads is 2# 6.5 ounces. Not sure how much weight a 6mm bore vs 6.5 bore adds. Id guess the taperless or lite hybrid contour adds 4-5 ounces on a 20" barrel over having a...

    Looking for a Wyoming resident hunting partner

    You're talking about the same guy who spent a week in WY with a general tag and couldn't find an elk and it was the fault of them not allowing him to drive his OHV everywhere horses went.. WTF is he going to do with a wilderness area if he cant figure out how to find an elk in western WY without...

    Short Barrel 6 Creedmoor?

    If you want lighter Benchmark has more desirable contours than the typical bartlein/brux/krieger/ACE contours. They dont have such heavy shanks and taper down more on the breech end and then the straight taper to the muzzle is less which results in lower weight for a given muzzle diameter.

    25prc speeds

    I imagine throated similarly they'd be about the same? Case capacity is basically the same.
