I for one have no interest in extreme pressure arrangements just to have a sawed-off barrel and .473 bolt face. What is the advantage here beyond having a “convenient” sized gun? I’m ready to see the rate of barrel erosion compared to more standard pressure, and other pertinent data, from an...

I can’t remember, been too long. Do they act more like the old BT’s or new BT hunting, concerning expansion?

Been there myself….

Getting a 6.5 Mega to start loosening up, any day now. Plan to shoot 125ish grain mono’s for point and shoot to 325-350yds, in places I don't have time to range and click, like road crossings and narrow lanes. 83gr capacity/2.16” case. .555 web diameter

A lengthened existing case design and reasonable freebore… not really pioneering there! Not sure why they don’t embrace more girth, for capacity. So many benefits vs long and skinny, in my experience.

Maximum published data is usually conservative, considers any make and model, and these days, has a lawyer’s stamp of approval. Your setup has its own maximum. Chamber size, brass used, bullet bearing surface and several other factors contribute. Work up to it and be aware of the signs it...

Front axle, rear axle, mainframe and main wiring harness immediate and complete failure. No drama.

The bearing surface is so long on the 160AB/BT I think I want to take a heavier version off my Christmas list, for now. I’m really hoping this ABLR keeps me happy, bought some more in 30 cal in 190 and 210’s. And I’ve got access to . 264 of the 142gr type.🤞

Of the 4 animals taken so far with the 168ABLR, the latest was a 180#ish boar. Distance about 230yds, complete pass through, broadside, double lung. The internal damage must have been extensive, he only managed about 30yds from the impact site, yet gave zero indication of a hit. Wild hogs are...

It can be a vast difference, depending on what it prefers. Drop down a couple grains and do another charge weight test. Sometimes it can make things fall right in place.

Sort em to the nearest thou, and they will group tight. Get them touching to .005 off, in there close. People may say it’s not worth it, but how many shots are actually taken at animals ? I’m not going to use them for year round play. The BTO variation within some boxes is pretty bad… last one...

This is my first CFW barrel, I’m used to rem-varmint, palma, #6 type contours. This is a very comfortable setup with precision to boot

I used Reloader 23 for the test. N565 is next, I did a 5 shot ladder test with it yesterday looking at velocity that measured .416 CTC, over 2 full grains. The rifle was built by Kinport Peak Rifles in Pocatello. Justin Linenbach. 7 Sherman Max Defiance Deviant Tactical L/A 24” Benchmark...

Have any of you ever sorted these, based on BTO length? I did based on advice from a very experienced gentleman from S.C. and the results are impressive. Over a 3.5GR spread, in 8 separate 3-shot groups, the largest was .846 and the smallest was .242” at 100yds. These were seated tight to the...

Do you know the full case capacity, in grain of water? That would help these guys with the inputs

It seems common to get about all the case will hold with a drop tube, and you are within a grain or two of ideal…and max. But start low obviously and work up as normal. It’s been very stable and predictable for me in 2 rifles, and lacks the erosion rate of n570, along with slightly reduced...

If I’m not mistaken….they did offer 120’s long ago.

I hope it’s….a hunting bullet!

I’ve been told to sort them by length, and seat them close to the lands. Haven’t tried yet, though.
