Thanks all for the input. I think I will defiantly work on getting a suppressor coming. I am going to stay on the lookout for a rifle in a smaller chambering as well.
In the meantime, if a 6.5 bullet of 110 to 120gr were to be used for a reduced load. What bullet would any of you all recommend?
I do appreciate the advice and the link to the thread. Great read. Really making me second guess everything. I didn't mean to ask a question that has been so deliberately evaluated.
You have a valid point. I have yet to read where someone has made the switch and regretted it.
For the Primary hunting rifle or Practice?
I have followed the 223 progress on this forum and needless to say I am intrigued. I just find some slight hesitation for reasons I truly don't know. Probably because I have had the magnum requirements force-fed to me ever since I myself was a young...
I ended up going 21" long. During the build process I was hesitant to go shorter thinking that I was handicapping the cartridge. Looking back now I probably should have run a 19-20". However, hindsight is always 20-20. I am getting 3100 with H-1000. I haven't even tried 570 or Retumbo. I would...
I really like mine so far. I almost wish I would have gone a little shorter. I am thinking about making the leap into the suppressor world and think a little shorter would have worked better.
Hello All,
I would like to hear thoughts and or opinions on setting up a mild load for my son to start hunting with this year. The gun is a 6.5WSM with a 22" barrel. I currently have a load with the 140 VLD's moving 2950fps. He shoots it well, but I notice him struggle with recoil management...
I just finished up load development on my 6-284. It is a custom built with a 21" Bartlein. Load is as follows:
55.2 Gr H-1000
Norma Brass
210M Primers
109 Berger LRHT
Muzzle Velocity averages at 3100fps. This ended up being about 1.5 grains below max for my gun.
Hello,
I have a like new TriggerTech special right hand flat shoe with 20 rounds on it. I would like to see if there is any interest in trading for a like kind TriggerTech with a curved shoe.
Has there been any experience with the Berger 109 LRHT in regards to terminal performance? I have sone 105’s but considering switching to the 109 for the better ballistics.
Thanks for any and all feedback.

Man if I would have known just a few hours ago I would have took you up on that. I just got done purchasing brass. Thanks for asking though. I appreciate it.
