The 6UM

[JDMBEND]

Anyone tried Hawkins 300wsm/6.5 prc mags?

For the 6um, after breaking it in and finding a good load, does it actually stay stable through the life of the barrel without having to tweak anything? Or does the quick throat erosion mean load charge tweaking every once in awhile?

No. Get 60-80 rounds on it, then just shoot it. It goes for 600-800 rounds without issue from the 4-5 I’ve seen, and at least that many that Ryan has had.

I know there is probably as many different answers to this question as there are people with 6UMs, but is there an ideal weight? I’m not a fan of carrying a tank around to help mitigate recoil, but also don’t want to build one so light that recoil thumps.

I am trying to build one on a Rokstock lite that would be around 7.5#s loaded and suppressed. Just afraid it might be too light and lead to punishing recoil (I’m quite recoil sensitive). About 6.5PRC suppressed recoil in a 9 pound rifle is about all I can tolerate.

So should I add weight to make it mo betta or keep going down this path?

I’m right at 8# suppressed and it’s very low recoil, less than 9.5# 6.5cm with 140 eldm factory load

Was just about to post a question asking about the guys with less than ideal form, how does the recoil compare to a 6.5cm. Thanks for the info!
