Help me rebuild my retired PRS rifle into something more useful.

[Undrgrndprdcts]

So not just the throat, but the entire length of the bore? That's interesting.

It's not really relevant. The point of this thread is to help me decide how to turn a 20lb rifle into one that's not 20lb, and be useful in the process.

I’m doing a similar project right now, but I’m going to a 6mm ARC on a heavy chassis. Minimal recoil & noise, very long brass & barrel life, easy brass and component availability.

Best of all, I can shoot as fast as I want without frying my barrel & I can do my practice at 500 yards without going deep in the mountains to shoot out to 1000.

Additional terminal range.

I already have a 300wsm and suppressors.

I guess if 100fps is worth the squeeze to you then another 6.5 would be fine.

Stepping up in powder is likely going to cause you the same complaints as the 6 creed.

I think every hand loader should have a dasher.

Kind of seems like another 6 creed really checks the boxes, other than nrl possibility. Basically build a lighter one.

90% of my eastern whitetail hunting is done with a throated 7mm-08, 18" Bartlein 3b, Defiance Classic, AG Privateer, Hawkins BDL or DBM, TBAC U7, and a Bushell LRHS 3-12. Weight is 9lbs all up.

I also have a 22" 6.5 CM, Apollo, Krieger RV, Hawkins DBM, Manners PH, Tract 4-25 ELR (pig), TBAC U7 or Hellfire. Weight is 12lb all up.

If that helps with your calcs.
