Help with caliber choice

6.5prc,6.5saum,7saum, 300wsm if want to open up your bolt face or have a different bolt fitted. You might as well experience the benefits and drawbacks of something bigger. You’ll want a muzzle brake or two. Radial(less effective) and/or a rear angle port type( louder, nasty blast at your shootin buddies). Keep the one you like. Not hard to sell off with a common thread.

Let us know how your choice works out.

I figured to benefit from the 6.5 saum/prc you need a long action, or at least a short with a wyatts extended box mag. The 7 and 30’s seem to need medium at least to be fully functional. I’d have no problem getting another bolt to do a 7 saum, 6.5 saum or something but want to be running in a mag

Haha wow the 6br has some serious following lol. Never even crossed my mind since I already have a 6mm. Why would I want the 6br too?

I was thinking 25 creed with the 131’s

A couple of downsides to any quarter bore is poor quality bullet selection and barrel twist selection.The 25s are slowly starting to catch up, but the 6 and 6.5 MMs will currently do anything a quarter bore will do and do it easier.

My .22 BR is my favorite. I have a 6 BR but I had it built on a Savage action which personally I deem a mistake.

I agree, but I figured I can get my hands on lots of the 131’s so that’s not my issue. Alpha makes brass which is excellent brass and I currently have 6 and a 6.5 so unless there was another 6 or 6.5 that is significantly different then I think they might be out. The 22 seems awesome but I’m worried about barrel life. Might spin one up after for the varmint side of things

In stead of the dasher cause I know they have some feeding issue, any interest in the 6gt

I can’t believe the br guys! It never even crossed my mind. Especially with the 6 creed in the line up already. I’m pushing the 105’s at 3130 FPS with a sd of 7 so I’m pretty happy with it. I’m worried with running a br to run into the feeding problems that go with it and that it won’t benefit me in any way over my 6 creed. That’s why I was looking for something a bit different. I will most likely chamber more then 1 barrel but I was looking to start with 1 to try the Curtis out

I'll elaborate some. Until I built my 22BR, I thought that I wasn't a terribly great shooter. All the fliers and unexplained shots I chalked up to my lack of ability. I built my 22BR and suddenly, those fliers just didn't happen. When the wind flags were all pointed in the same direction, the bullet goes where the crosshairs are pointed when I break the trigger. The feeling of rock solid repeatability is unlike anything else I've shot and it's altered my perception of what is an acceptable level of accuracy from a rifle.
