I’ve always wanted to try these but…seems some people can never get in a comfortable groove with them. And yet others say they are simple to tune!
im looking for general recs to apply here, concerning seating depth. And anything else pertinent.
looking at the 6.5 142 gr specifically, and I’m...
I’m thinking you have the possibility of shooting animals lot farther than 100yds with that cartridge.
stretch it out to 300 or more on paper and see what happens.
It’s not exactly terrible there, if it gets no worse at distance I’d be leary of making much of a change!
Good luck with it.

Run the numbers on a twist stability calculator, should give useful data.
Another 100-150fps should be attainable.
And I’ve got a .284 1-8 tw Bartlein blank if you need it!
I’m going to attempt AB/BT first, though I have looked at Hammer and Badlands monos. May have to slow them a tad, hopefully not though.
Bartlein and Benchmark barrels.
Stay tuned
25 Sherman Max 1-8” 3400-3500fps. This velocity will be easy to attain with a 28”
Ive got a 7.25 tw barrel also, it’s the one I’m most concerned about. “only” 26in
Anybody ever had a Ballistic Tip Hunting or Accubond fly apart because of extreme RPM?
I haven’t.
may be using a faster twist than I intended soon and appears I could hit 320,000
Any concerns?
All I can think of is they sold out quickly.
my notification arrived at 10:30 CST, and I ordered 3 boxes and got confirmation shortly thereafter.
Id bet some will be hitting Gun Broker shortly from this release.
Using a narrow plank under the elbow of your trigger arm elbow is a great way to shoot better from box blinds.
most people have some kind of shelves under the windows anyhow to lay it on. staple carpet on it for noise reduction
There was a time when m700’s were consistently capable in the hands of a good loader/shooter.
without much “accurizing”
with good components and a decent scope they just performed.
