Borescope pics of freebore area. COAL is 2.850 with a 108eldm in the pics above.

Yeah, usually freebore means you shouldn’t see lands.

I got my barrel today and put it on my action.

I have the exact same look. I just got some shit photos with a cheap scope.

Have you reached out and if so what was their response ?

The whole point of freebore is that the bullet isn't engraved from the lands until it gets into the leade after it. Your chamber pics with copper fouling almost immediately in the throat are close to what I'd expect in a "zero freebore" chamber with a throat that doesn't start significantly larger than bullet diameter.

More plainly - I would not be satisfied with that chamber.

concur. I’m going to reach out.

They saw my photos and agreed that there is likely a problem with the freebore. Told me to return barrel and to send a dummy round with it for evaluation and rework.

This is the borescope I used. Works good. https://a.co/d/5yeTC8H

Anybody tried RL26? I’m guessing around 56-57 grains? How was velocity vs h-1000, n565 or n570?

Anyone loaded lighter Mono's for us trapped in Commiefornia?
I have 85 tsx on the shelf that could get going 3600? Plan to start with 240wby load data and go up from there. In addition to 108ELDM and 115DTAC of course.

Look at the 87 or 90 grn Hammers.
They are also coming out with a new High BC line that are called HBC but aren't available in 6mm yet.

I run the 90 HHT out of my 6-7 PRC and love them

What seating die are you guys using for the 6 PRC? I picked up the Redding bushing die for resizing, and asked Redding about a seating die, they said the 6.5 PRC 'should work' bit didn't give options for a 6mm sliding bushing for the die.

I have a Hornady 6 Creed seating die, that a PRC case fits in the body, so it should work, it would just only support the neck. Thoughts?

I emailed them no response yet so we will see.

I’m using Redding 6.5 prc seating die with 6.5 stem, no issues seating
