Thank you! Well now I’m getting more nervous about using this on a 20” 6.5 PRC

Is it the same weld failing every time? I agree - I think their numbers are likely suspect as well. My interest in this can is for smaller applications - Howa Mini 6 ARC, 300 BLK, 6 CM. But definitely disappointed to see this may not handle my 22" 300 PRC or even my 21" 6.5 PRC.

Same boat here. Mine will start life on 6.5 Swede, but I’ve got a tikka 6.5 PRC take off in the safe. I’m now wondering if I should sell the barrel and magnum bolt and get on the small caliber train…

Given the failures I have a 19” t3 Swede that I am skeptical to use now with it. Might be an expensive 223 can worst case I guess or on a 26” wsm. Mine should be at my door in the next 2 weeks and I picked up a laser thermometer to keep a keen eye on it.

I have to think that non-magnum cartridges with over 16" barrels would be perfect for the Scythe....

Have there been any reported (here on Rokslide) failures from use exclusively on standard bolt face rifles???

Thanks. Mine should be here shortly after Xmas, but I haven’t cut/threaded the Swede yet (I was debating the length when this thread blew up, leaning 20” now), so it’ll be a bit before I have enough rounds down the pipe. I’ll keep this thread updated too.

I bought the Scythe based on the earlier posts and wanting something light and short to hunt with…if I’m stuck with 223 or bust, then I’m definitely going to find myself in the 223 for everything thread.

Bought one yesterday afternoon and discovered the more recent posts here last night. Canceled the purchase before the paperwork was sent in and switched to a gen 2 Ultra 7. Really hope they iron this out because all the stats are impressive.

Are these all pretty much coming apart at the same spot or is it a mix of different places where they're coming apart at?
