Package Deal Varmint Rifle

But guys assemble ARs all the time as end users, I dont think its an issue.
According to the ATF guys slapping parts together can use serial number already on receiver but still have to put their name on it as the final manufacture. Number 1 reason not to
take one on trade or buy unless you know the person very well.., who built it.
 
I am trying to show folks that a short freebore 6bra will smoke a 22-250 with 10 grains less powder (ala Alex Wheeler and his good teachings), and is easier on barrels, and a short throat 6xc will smoke a 220 Swift.

Although this may very well be true, there are those who hold to "traditions" for lack of a better word.
One guys grandpa had a swift, one guy doesnt want to buy new dies, one guy has 6000 pcs of .22-250 brass he wants to use---I hear you. BUT does the potential customer??? May have to let them be "right". No disrespect intended. I am excited to see you make this work!! Marc

Well sure...

(counter point)

Run your grandpas 22-250 brass through a 6xc sizer die and you have 6xc :) My business is pretty small at this point, trying work my way up.

i think part of the goal I have to challenge the old paradigm. Same with bringing the idea of the FFP optic to hunting. It is next generation stuff.
 
Not only will a 6mm Br,BRA,Dasher with a zero freebore smoke the .22s it tunes much easier in my experience as well.

Dang Skippy! You just have to see it to believe it!

27" barrels off of a 28" blank-12 twist, zero freebore to .020 freebore.

6BR with 55g Nosler(check the BC)-3900 fps
6 BRX-4100
6 Dasher-4100

65g V max at 3750+ into tiny, tiny bug holes with the brx and Dasher

You will shoot some groups at 300 you will not believe

Figure 220 swift and 243 with 10g+ less powder

Where do they have to put their name? Is there an ATF form that needs to be done? I'm talking for an individual not an FFL. Also would this apply to someone buying a T/C bare frame and adding a barrel to it?

And seems to be so easy on the barrel too.

And yes, a short freebore 6br/6bra shooting the light bullets will shoot boringly accurate. With tiny velocity spreads with almost no fiddling.

The 6mm on live pdogs is just way more fun. I do suggest the Tubb brake as the last piece of the puzzle.

I REALLY like the 85 Sierra HPBT. LEGIT long range (well not Tubb "long range") performance and pdog splitting explosions. Seems to be happy no matter how much jump. Shoots small even at 500-600. I use my 243 now but I am going to try it in the 6bra and 6xc. I think the 6xc with the 50 to 104 Freebore and 8 twist is the next big thing (for sure in a repeater). Shoot from 60 to 100 with the 50 FB and 80 to 110 with the 104 FB . If you want to try to shoot 1000 plus go to 160 FB.
