New TMK announced

Yeah and 30 shots per barrel is pretty gay.

I just shot enough to stabilize velocity, zero the rifle, and confirm drop.

My 16” 6 Creed is a 700-800 yard killing gun depending on DA.

I don’t think folks realize not only their capabilities (lack of) or their guns capabilities (way further than their abilities).

There’s probably only a dozen or so folks on this site that should even be trying to kill past 800. Even though everyone thinks they are that guy, I’ve seen nothing but the opposite.

Exactly why my next re-barrel will be an 18"-20" 6cm, as cool as the 6UM is, and as much as I have tossed around 6-284 and 6prc. The creed is capable well beyond what my current abilities are. All the creeds really are the easy button.

I have no business taking a field shot past 400 yards, so even in heavy sea level AK air a 6 creed/243 from a 16 inch barrel gets me comfortably past that range.

I would like to push that out to 500 yards, but in the training time budget I have opted for physical conditioning over shooting.

What do you mean 30 shots per barrel?

A silly exaggeration on barrel life for that cartridge.

I thought so but I also paused to wonder of you start shooting the throat out and have to start load dev all over after 30 rounds .

I agree 100 percent with your priority.

I hear you on physical conditioning over shooting. Imo it is far over looked by most but can make a hunt vastly more enjoyable. I have put myself far past where I planned on going by wanting to see what was over the next ridge or hill more than once. Both my trips to AK proved to be exhausting to say the least. Hiking thru wet tundra tussocks with a load of meat on your back is the hardest thing I've done. Not all miles are created equal.

I was told by my transporter on my caribou hunt that 1 mile in the tundra/tussocks is equivalent to 5 miles just about anywhere else. Felt pretty true to me!

Cats claw, ocotillo, and choya make for hikes taking about twice as long as you’d think here in AZ.

I went in with that same mindset in Alaska hunting moose. It was more like 3-4 times as long for sure.

If everyone just did this, we'd all be far more consistent, better hunters.

Would it be fair to assume the 107 would fit in a 6arc AR platform but probably not the 115?

.55-.6” of the bullet will be in the case. Mouth of case to shoulder is .37”.

You’ll have a lot of bullet hanging into case capacity.
