I had the thought after this hunt I should’ve went 18” [emoji23] I absolutely love packing a compact rifle.
I’m super curious to hear about yours after you get it broke in.
Hopefully your handloading!

My old kenetrek hardscrabbles have been awesome the last 7 seasons. Probably should have replaced a long time ago but they were hard to let go! Going to give the Crispi briksdal mtn gtx a try!

Yeah it depends on what I’m loading. 9mm/.223 runs on a Dillon 550 set it and forget it.
.204 varmint stuff and other “close range” stuff I’ll throw powder straight into the cartridges and go.
My 6.5x47L, 7prc anything I’m shooting long range gets thrown and trickled every case.

My dad got me in to reloading at a pretty young age and he always had quality equipment by that being said he always used balance beams for powder measuring. Once I started buying my own equipment, the millennial in me thought I had to have a digital scale so I could see an actual number read...
Yeah I like the 204 just because it’s so fast. At 300 i have like 6” of drop. I kill all my dogs calling so I just hold on hair and let it rip. Typically I don’t have time to range and dial/hold.

Iv killed dogs out to 400. But if your consistently shooting that far I’d step to a bigger bullet. Im seriously considering building an 18” 22creed bolt gun for the fun of it. That new hornady 62g VT bullet would be a laser beam and crazy explosive on dogs

Iv been using the same rifle for killing dogs for 12 years. Remington R15 in .204
I think im going to swap the scope to a LPVO and potentially swap the rail to something lighter with a arca rail.

Yeah I was going to buy the 2-20 nx8 while It is much more compact there is less than 1 oz between them.
The DBM was a spare I had. I will probably swap it out for Hawkins new hunter DBM that is almost flush
I love the c6 barrels Iv done a 7stw ,28N and a 6.5x47L all have been remages and...
Only the guys shooting factory ammo will call bs.
Typically see 75-100fps speed up after 100ish rounds
So that will put me between 2925-2950fps
I shooting federal 210M’s just because I have a bunch and can’t fine 215’s

That’s smoking! I have about 50 rds down the tube. My last 10 shot average was 2871.
What’s your round count and what what primers are you using?
