6ppc built on 308 boltface

[Frankr]

This has probably been talked about before, but i want to ask if anyone
had or has a 6ppc built on a 308 bolt face ?
i know it has been done and was wondering about haveing a barrel in 6ppc
for my 6BR. i guess the best thing would be talk to a gunsmith about it, but i thought
i would see if i could get some information from people that may have one.

If the type of extractor is right, there is no problem. My Viper has a .308 bolt face, and it was built as a PPC. What kind of action do you have?

boyd, i have a new haverkamp. sako type extractor, it will allmost pick up a ppc case.
i talked to tom and im going to get a new extractor, it looks like if i took a little of the extractor were it hits the bolt body it would tip in enough to pick up the case.

Good luck with your project. let us know how it turns out.

 

[Frankr]

i will , yea i think im going to do a 6ppc barrel for it to play with.

My BAT has a .308 bolt face and I use it as a switch barrel...6 PPC and 6 Dasher. It works well for both. It has a right ejection port and a Winchester type extractor. Good shooting...James

My Bat SV receiver is also setup with a dual use bolt face, BR and ppc case heads, so it is possible.

My old Varmint Hunter class rifle was a Rem 700 that started life as a 22-250. I used it for 2 years of IBS competition as a 6PPC. I never had one failure to extract.
I had made no changes to the Rem Boltface. YRMV
