New build

[noload]

I,m wondering if you will be able to bump the shoulder on the fired brass, since your a short chamber. You are at that overcam needed area. Thats a major reason for the chamber being the correct lenght.

I was looking for some experience with a question. I built a 6BR on a Stiller Tac-30 action and a new barrel blank that I cut threaded,chambered, crowned, ect...I threw a scope on it and slapped it in a cheap factory Remington/Hogue stock that was touching barrel when I rest it on bipod. I just wanted to test it out.
With factory ammo I shot 4 groups of 5 rounds after a few break in/cleaning routine. All 4 groups, 2 with suppressor, 2 with muzzle brake all measured 1/4 to 3/8 MOA.
I have a McMillan A-5 stock on the way for it, my question is, when I get it bedded and free float barrel, will it improve groups at all? If it's already doing 1/4 MOA, is it worth trying to reload for it?
I have read a lot about crappy guns improving with bed jobs, but wondering if I'm just wasting time and money for a stock and competition dies that may not really improve nothing. I'm not sure I am capable of shooting better than 1/4 MOA off my bipod anyway.
Thanks,

Sounds to me like you put in a good chamber.....except for the neck clearance..... .0005" is not enough..... your reamer is ground for neck turning..... as far as improving accuracy with a better stock.... here`s what I`ve found...years ago I needed an excuse to buy one of those cheap rem. 700`s ...they had on sale for 350$ after rebate... I chose the varmint model in .308.... put on a good scope,shot off bags,I loaded up 20 rnds.of 168 gr.smk`s... shot 5 with clean new gun,lapped barrel shot 5 more,lapped bore again shot another 5... each step showed improvement,gun went from 1.25 moa to .75 moa...last step was to put gun into an H-S stock.... It helped.. the gun shot the last group into .5 moa.....
so... to answer your question....yes a good stock will enhance accuracy....

I have the reamer, I can always go back in if needed. As of right now, I'm just going to worry about inletting my stock, installing pillars and bedding.
Thanks for replies, if new A-5 stock and bedding help, I will probably have the most accurate rifle that I have owned.
I may try and turn necks on a few to see if it helps or hinders.

I have an older .22BR reamer designed for an oal of 1.520. So, when the 1.560 brass came out instead of trimming .040 from brass I simply ran the reamer in .040 deeper. I call it my .22BR Long. Very fast and deadly on coyotes. Something a little different.

Paul, explain this to me. Are you actually making a .040 longer body?

Butch,
That is exactly what I am doing. Works out nicely.

Paul, did you make a false shoulder in neck or is .040" small enough you just blew it out to form it?

 

[boltfluter]

Steel,

Neck turned at 6mm and then necked down to .22 just enough to chamber snugly. So yes, false shoulder. Forms nicely. No doughnuts to worry about as the junction is way up on the shoulder. A win win in my book. Crank it up. Lol.
