Question: Should I send a dummy round or stick with SAAMI for McGowen 6mm Creedmoor pre-fit?
I have a Ruger American Predator short action, and I’m planning to order a pre-fit 6mm Creedmoor barrel from McGowen. I’ll be shooting the 108gr ELD-M and using the Magpul AICS-pattern short action mags (internal COAL is 2.860”).
Would it be better to send them a dummy round seated to around 2.850” and ask them to throat it so I’m ~0.010” off the lands? Or should I just stick with SAAMI spec?
My main goal is good accuracy and consistent mag-fed performance for long-range steel shooting. Any advice or experience would be appreciated!
