I was worried about feeding but it's been great using the MDT BR mags. I'm a member at Gopher in Harris, 1k range and it's open to the public for Tuesday night shoots.
Sounds to me like your not getting enough shoulder pressure when your shooting. Do you use a sling?
Beautiful
You could be right, I would say under normal circumstances I shoot with pretty good form. But sometimes I'm pretty bundled up and maybe not getting the butt of the rifle tight enough to my shoulder.
Go get a suppressor for it. Or wear hearing protection while hunting with the brake on. Hearing protection is not for just the range. Even if it didn't have a break, go get some hearing protection for hunting.
We can’t use suppressors in Canada
maybe I could wear electronic ear protection, but I need to be able to hear everything from my steps to a twig a deer might snap. The sneakiness of still hunting for me requires it.
In the woods guns don't hurt earls like at the range, my guess is you could shoot a deer without any hearing protection and you wouldn't notice a thing unless it very very dense woods with large trees or channels.We can’t use suppressors in Canada
True anything over 88db actually damages your ear and that's loud yelling. Go sit on the edge of a field and shoot the rifle and then go sit at a range..there is a big difference. If your only shooting to hunt then put the brake on it and don't look back,
You'll hear more, not less, with the enhancing ear pro.We can’t use suppressors in Canada
Sweet rifle. I've been considering something similar myself in 280 AI, what kind of velocities are you getting? Any regrets with the 22 inch barrel?
I haven’t taken many pictures yet, I’ll try to remember to get some at the range this afternoon. Carbon Six 22” Featherweight 1:8 in 280ai. Mesa Precision Altitude, VX6hd 2-12 in sports match rings. Bolt fluting and Cera coat by LRI (action is coated as well, just very close to stainless color). That scope is for hunting purposes, if I’m stretching it out at the range I’ll use a 3-15 SWFA and gain a few more ounces. More comfortable spinning the dials further and more frequently on the SWFA. This one is a dedicated hunter though, not my first choice cartridge (or barrel) for range play. I did order a steel 6 dasher barrel in the same profile to use on this action for most of the year. Good way to maintain familiarity with it.

Awesome setup, and crazy light. How are you liking the Carbon6 barrel? I've been planning basically the same setup, though with a 284 Win barrel and likely the Athlon Helos Gen2 2-12.
