    Are the UM Tikka action lightening cuts a good idea for a 6 UM or 6.5 PRC?

    I really like the cuts on mine. I was surprised how much lighter my tikka with cuts feels compared to an unmodded action with same stock and barrel. You almost negate the weight of the can with the cuts. It also looks sweet! I think the biggest advantage tho is having the open top. Makes it way...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Not yet, haven’t had time to make it back out. All my once fire brass has inconsistent case length and is also past max trim length by .001-.003. I ordered up a 6mm pilot for my Henderson trimmer, just waiting for that to show up this week.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    I’ve never wildcatted before but I do have a lot of experience and the best equipment money can buy. Here is a 6.5 creed I did a load for earlier this month. I think my process is sound.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Well Sheeeeeiiiiit, sounds like bad luck on my part lol. I’m going to try the 115s with fireformed brass today. Then maybe some n565, Retumbo, and a couple other bullets. See if anything brings it in.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Yeah everything is perfect on the rifle. It’s a tikka with the UM action mods and nitride, ace barrel they chambered and installed. Stockys stock, plenty of free float room, everything degreased and torqued to proper specs. Nightforce scope, um rings. I’m going to prep some brass tonight and...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Peterson brass, 115 dtacs, 65gr n570, 20” ace sp3 barrel, 3.155” COAL, 3106 average velocity over those 85 shots. No increase in velocity from first to last shot so far.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    @Ryan Avery During your fire form stage what kind of accuracy were you seeing? My first 6 rounds down the barrel grouped nicely into roughly a 3/4” group. I’ve fire formed 85 pieces so far, accuracy has been poor on the other 79. It’s so hot I usually have time to shoot 6-10 in a session. They...

    Q Trash Panda

    Figured I’d follow up. Ended up getting a Q Jumbo shrimp. 2 qd muzzle devices, a 5” can, only 9.2 ounces all in for $750 including the stamp. I love it. Plenty quiet. Great value. I’ve used it on a 223, 6.5 creed, and a 6-7prc. I plan on getting 3 more next time they are on sale. If you have a...

    Thanks!

    Scope/Barrel Clearance

    I wasn’t worried about the barrel flexing, but the scope. I figured it wouldn’t but wanted to put my mind at ease. I’ve never seen what a rifle looks like under slow mo so I don’t know how much scopes flex under recoil

    Scope/Barrel Clearance

    @Formidilosus Are you aware of how much scope to barrel clearance is needed to keep the scope from impacting the barrel under recoil? I recently had my tikka re-barreled and the barrel I got isn’t a standard tikka shank. I believe the one I ended up with is 1.20” instead of 1.15.” Because of...

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    I was wondering this same thing. If it was better to have a softer shoulder or harder shoulder to prevent buckling. I’ll run them through my amp and see if it’s better.

    6 UM or 6-7PRC?

    Cool, thanks for the info. I’ll just keep rolling with 65 grains then and bump up after the first firing.

    Pms on rokslide. I posted a wtb in the classifieds for lapua 223 brass and @Bextat messaged me. I did a google search and found the exact same pictures he sent me of the lapua 223 brass on the long range hunting forum classifieds from a year ago from a different user. I asked him if he had...

    2024 Scammer Alert

    @fngTony can you ban @Bextat he is a scammer I believe. Found the exact same photos he was using on another forum classifieds from 2023. He said he doesn’t have any other forum accounts. The lister on the other forum was a well know user as well.
