6 mm prefit Group Buy, Tikka, Origin, etc. LIVE--suggest barrels to get them added

[wesfromky]

18" 6cm tikka ordered for my 6.5cm CTR.

 

[Behyot]

@hereinaz sorry if I am missing it, if I want a 18" Tikka 6cm is there a date I need to order by to be part of this group buy? And I assume they all have no fluting currently?

 

[hereinaz]

No fluting currently.

Right now, it is open right now, but order now. I have some pretty generous limits from PBB, but I have to stay in budget.

It will close on Tuesday next week at the discount price. I will have many barrels after, but they won't be listed at this price.

Are there going to be any group buys with the factory lite contour rather than lite hybrid?

I can add factory lite, but they are threaded 1/2" at the muzzle or no threads.

List out what specs you would buy, if a couple more people want it I will add it.

If you can get 3 others on board, PBB has it as an option. I'll do it with 4.

When do you need to have your order in with pbb?

I am putting in an order on Monday when they start drilling 6mm--which cuts the lead time cause we don't have to wait for other calibers to get drilled. I did that with the 22 cal order, and they are cut/drilled and a third of those several dozen barrels will be done in 3-4 weeks.

If it takes a little longer to get the pre-order for those barrels, I will put it in, but we are then inside the typical lead time unless it happens to come up when the 6mm does again.

I just bought 500 nose ring DTACS, so a 6-6.5 PRC might be on tap for me to play with...

You know you want to!

Hybrid lite 5/8 or Lite 1/2 doesn’t matter to me.

I would also be in for a 6UM 40 in 20".

This is intriguing… 6.5prc body die and then use something like the 6mm Lee collet die to form the neck?

i'm not an expert on it, so can't answer exactly how to size down brass. after reading a lot of @huntnful posts i'm sold on the idea and am going to dive into figuring it out.

tons of good info in these threads

Thread '6mm prc'

Nov 6, 2023

Anyone playing around with the 6mm prc? I see the 6UM post but I’ve got lots of prc brass that I can use. Wondering if I’ll be able to move a 108gr bullet 3000fps+ with an 18” barrel? Would you do the 6mm prc again or keep it simple and stick with the 6.5 prc?

Thread '6 PRC reloading'

Jul 26, 2024

A friend and I are having some 6 PRC barrels spun up, because we cannot control ourselves, and have magnum bolt faces to mess with. Barrel blanks are headed to the smith now.

Thought I'd get a bit started with a dedicated thread on loads for this wildcat. We're using lapua brass. Lots of RL23 and N565 on hand we're hoping to use, but N570 could be entertained.

To start, we've got 108 ELDMs, way more 105 Berger HTs than is reasonable, 400 105 barnes match burners, and 108 Berger EHs. Matchburners to get things rolling, with hunting loads planned for the Berger 105s or 108s, unless...

Thread '6 PRC with N570'

Jun 11, 2024

First time testing N570 in the 6PRC, and I haven’t seen anyone else test it yet either. So figured I’d share.

A full case is 61gr. so that’s what I loaded up. I know H1000 doesn’t pressure out until 58-59gr. in this barrel, so I knew 61gr. N570 would be safe.

Built by @barehandlineman at High Voltage Armory with a .200 freebore reamer.

24” 7.75 twist Muller Works barrel
61gr. N570
CCI 200
109 ELDM
COAL of 2.975”



600 yard group and also the 5 shots shown on the Garmin Chrono.
