    KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

    Have an Echo in a 223 Varmint and have noticed it’s 50/50 on picking up a round. Has anyone found this issue with theirs? I have not modified the magazine or mag catch.

    High Velocity 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo

    So, I have a 19” 6.5cm 1/8 twist that shoots everything from 95gr vmax (3150 fps) to 140gr aac sabre (2580fps) well. The idea is to have a deer and hog bullet that performs as well as the 95gr vmax on paper but also has adequate penetration on medium game. Is the 95vmax an easy button or is...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    As someone with a few cases of this ammo, I really wish 1-2 rounds per 20 round box wouldn’t fail to feed from my tikka 223. High SD, poor FTF, but groups well when it does feed.

    6.5 Creedmoor Ammo Opinions

    any updates on people hunting with the 140gr AAC sabre black tips? Bought a case to plink with and break in a rifle but would be nice to be able to pull double duty for a hunting round.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    comparing apples to apples, Say you’re shooting both with 75eldm. 3250fps vs 2780 fps. Sub 350 yards, Would you say the only advantage is a flatter trajectory? Small critters moving fast at unknown distances being the primary target (smaller, quick hogs/coyotes/etc) I know rokslide is...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I know “the shorter the better” if you can get acceptable velocity but in my experience with overbore cartridges, I always got my best 300+ yard accuracy with 18”+ barrels. call that SD, RPM, whatever phenomenon you want. Just my 2 cents. Seems like more to long range accuracy than an exit...

    WTS/WTT Barrett Fieldcraft 22-250 barrels

    i’ll do $500 on both of these shipped. Caveat, will be a couple weeks before they get back to me from the gunsmith. Beyond that, i’ll hold onto them in the safe for a rainy day.

    WTS/WTT Barrett Fieldcraft 22-250 barrels

    To be clear, these aren’t being rebarreled because they’re shot out, One is being rebarreled to a 22cm and one to a 6.5cm.

    22 Creedmoor for Scimitar Oryx?

    This has been one of the hardest things for me to retrain my brain for. My natural aiming point was a traditional “behind the shoulder shot” in order to not waste meat. It seems to significantly reduce the margin of error. This original thought exercise (killing the plains game with .224’s) has...

    WTS/WTT Barrett Fieldcraft 22-250 barrels

    I have a pair of these currently being pulled from fieldcrafts and being rebarreled. 21” unthreaded VERY low round count and an 18” threaded that has been shot a bit more. both are 1:8 twist and would be great for 22 creed rechamber or someone that handloads. I would like to trade both of...

    22 Creedmoor for Scimitar Oryx?

    Sounds like similar velocity and similar retention to my gigantic sample size of one bullet. 80gr-49gr—~60% 3100mv. shot through the shoulder, splitting heart and caught on offside. Maybe the bullets did the same thing? I’m just hear to learn, not interested in any of the cat fighting. But...

    22 Creedmoor for Scimitar Oryx?

    idk man.. I just dispatched a few african game in short order with a frangible .224 bullet, an OG just told us he’s killed 20 oryx this year with small bullets and in the past week i’ve had to call in dogs twice for oryx shot with a 28 nosler and 300 win.

    The 6UM

    Thank you, Achilles. So as I see it… Slightly less Wind Drift and Drop. We are talking less than an inch of wind drift at my max range of 500? Less than my margin of error. 147 vs 108 2900 vs 3250 mv 10mph wind All virgin brass needs to be fire formed yet I get great accuracy from factory...

    The 6UM

    i’m all for finding any “edge” I can get via different cartridges, equipment etc. But it seems like a lot of work for marginal gains when better gains could be made by more practice time. Then again, the 6um may be targeted more towards a range I currently have no business shooting at or a crowd...
