6.5's Show Them and give particulars

[goneshootinginAZ]

Started out as Savage 30-06 111 DBM Tupperware stock.
Now is a 6.5 Creedmoor, 26" Xcaliber Heavy Palma Barrel, Boyds Stock I installed pillars and bedded, ET4305 Bushnel 4.5-30x50 Scope, Burris Rings with 20 MOA Mounts from Zero I have 72" of adjustment up. Harris Bipod, JP Muzzle Brake, SAV-1 Basix Trigger set to 1.5 lbs., I ground down, threaded and blued the original bolt handle and added a tactical knob, made a cheek rest out of Plexi Glass and made an extended Butt plate from Alum. and added a Limb-Saver 1" recoil pad to get the LOP to what I needed.

Shane nice work and nice shooting!

In my Lapua cases 48 grs of RL 26 is really compressed - well into the neck - I don't have a drop tube is that what you are using to get the RL 26 into the case?

 

[Shane Roya]

48 goes in fine in the Nosler Brass 49 requires me to use a drop tube, lapua I believe has a smaller case capacity.

 

[goneshootinginAZ]

Great! Thanks! Have you found using OBT in Quickload helpful? If so, if I give you the case capacity of twice fired but unsized Lapua can you help me out with some OBT data for a 20" barrel?

Get me all the info on your loads, case cap, COAL, primer, bullet and I can run the numbers.
The only problem I have with OBT is it assumes barrel resonance based off of barrel length it does not take into account barrel contour or caliber, I find it hard to believe these don't have an effect.

How much does this gem weigh? It's identical to what I would like to build in 6.5 or 7 Rsaum.

I don't have a scale. I love the rifle and if I did it again I would go with a number 2 profile. Hawk Hill runs heavy like Bartlien. The HH #3 is a heavy sporter, the flutes help a tad but not substantially. It's still very packable.The rifle is a ton of fun banging steel and did a number on Bull Elk with a 140VLD. I would guess the weight at a bit over 7lbs. If I get a chance I'll take it by a friends and get an actual weight. The Defiance ultra light is a beautiful action, smooth as silk. Feel free to PM me if you want.

I have a 7saum on a stiller. It's become my favorite big game round. Can't wrong with either Saum you mentioned!

260 rem
700 long action in aics 1.5
Rock hv 8 twist @ 26"
Sightron 10-50x siii

Shoots small little groups at 100y. Did my first 600y f class match of the year on a relatively windy night and scored a 194-7x. Wind let off got the best of me. I have high hopes with this rifle and appears I will receive.
