    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    Not 100% sure if you mean the high pressure 6.5 Creed ammo or the Proof NXT rifling but the answer is no to both. Friends who have briefly played with the new Proof’s said they shot well, that’s all the inside info I have on either.

    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    With a conventional barrel, for sure. The new Proof rifling might be unique enough that they die in a different manner, but my guess is they’ll wear out faster with 80ksi loads than 62ksi ones just like the rest. Time will tell.

    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    Case-wise yes, that should be doable. Without having any inside info, I suspect it’s an action issue. A standard bolt face action (30-06, 308, Creed) is less stressed than a magnum bolt face action, all else being equal. So, the standard bolt face actions have some spare strength so you can...

    Unknown Suppressors OG Experience

    I believe they learned some things to lighten it up and improve sound performance which were incorporated in the OG 6.5. The OG Gen 2 I expect is incorporating some of that into the 30 cal version. If you're in the market for a 6.5 can I'd just get the OG 6.5, I also think they'd be happy to...

    2026 MDT Barrel Burner at The Lead Farm

    Looks like a good one, I always hear you guys put on a good match. Interesting to me a Canadian won, my impression was they were behind the curve not all that long ago, and you had some talent there. Super tight at the top too...

    Get away from the keyboard and to the range challenge.

    That's not shabby.

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    Glad it worked out. I agree with your conclusions, at least for what we’re doing.

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    Ha! I’ve shot inside with a bare muzzle, a brake would be nasty. Surprised it didn’t take pictures off your wall.

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I haven't listened to that one specifically but what I currently do is pretty similar to Miles. It's definitely informed by the tests he spent his spare time and money doing, using Hornady's equipment. There's lots of guys at the top in PRS/NRL and even F-Class who do similarly. I think Tate...

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I won't claim to have "the" way, but I'll tell you what I do. With something I'm very familiar with, like 6 Dasher, I just pick a load based on experience. I might only load 20 to confirm, or depending on circumstances I might load a couple hundred. I've competed with three loads out of my...

    Ladder Test for finding powder charge

    I'll use a ladder occasionally to find pressure and velocity for a new combination (usually loading at the range instead of at home). I don't use them anymore to find accuracy, personally.

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    Yep, that’s my understanding.

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    I know of some guys in the Paradise Valley who like to go that route. Apparently they have trouble keeping sheets in place prior to pouring due to wind. Did a friend’s basement and garage that way. Never been involved myself.

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    I never especially favored the feel of the Jewell's, even when they were THE precision trigger for 700 pattern actions. They have always been known for being fickle and fragile, but I never gave them a chance due to personal preference regarding the feel. Just not my thing, lots of guys shoot...
