Hint. 90gr Scenars in the 10" 'tucky at 3200,zero'd at 250,will take the windshield to 1150yds+. The erector will get to a mile and all out 2000yds. Google as you must. Good talk..................

Do you really believe Stick is concerned whatsoever? Also the 243 can be loaded down to near a 6BR. Not with anything like the consistency/accuracy a 6BR can deliver. Just presenting an alternative. A 243 Kimber Montana weighs just 6#,11oz. with a 4.5-14 Conquest on it. Thats what a M70 Featherweight goes without a scope! I'm pretty sure Stick knows what a Montana weighs. He only owns about two dozen of them. The 243's ammo is available everywhere. You will never find 6Br loads for game anywhere. Once again you've missed the point. Stick doesn't care that there aren't factory 6BR game loads. He's going to build them as the point of the whole project. Some of us actually shoot more than two rounds per rifle and declare it good. I've been through about three thousand .308" Hornady 168 gr. match bullets (not to mention other types, weights and diameters) since the beginning of the year, and Stick has probably exceeded that number of projectiles in the last month or two. A smallish 6mm that is capable of extreme precision, is miserly in its consumption of powder and barrel steel, has lower muzzle blast, and is properly built to handle a sleek projectile that delivers downrange where it counts, is an attractive proposition to shooters who build significant round counts.

But I bought that MR contour barrel 2nd hand and had smith install and clean up the chamber......i.e.: done it up CHEAP with a cut-off Ti stock! It is a pleasure to shoot with 85 TSX. He's killed 2 does with it, but our WT around here can be kilt with a flyswatter. Now that I've gotten into the A-Max clan, I'd love to be able to fling those with it.

People are in a surprising hurry to forget,that the ONLY way bullets get better,is to get longer...so it's nice to leave windows of opportunity wide open. I'm not an SMK Fan so D-Tac's are out for me,but the 105 Herd is amazingly fantastic...............

Nosler has the brass, might be Norma's ? Used to run a 6mmBR out of a 21" Encore. Lupua brass was super accurate out of it. Was a little concerned about that short little case out of a bolt action....

In fact I was pleased to see you return as your photo's are excellent. Keep in mind that I have been hunting for 60 years and have extensive shooting experience. Your idea of writing on a cartridge case with a Sharpie pen what the load is a good idea. All guns should be locked up when not in use!

No need to reiterate what an amazingly sloooooooooowwwwwwwww "learner" you are,as you perpetually reiterate it obliviously,by doing your "best". Happy Imagination,to you.................
