Anybody shoot a 20" 1-8" 6BR with 105's?
Thinking Montucky build,contour dupe,shortened,no-turn Lapooey...hoping it would crowd 2700fps and yield THE Ultimate SLEEPER...............

Mine was 22". If is remember correctly, I was up closer to 2780, but that was behind 30.5gr varget- a pretty stiff charge

Oh I reckon it's probably a natural inclination,to flog on it.
Starting over,knowing what you know,how would you build the next one and what was your application for it?
I'm thinking just an all day/every day knockabout Utility Rifle,with about 35 Mils remaining on it's erector,for dialing distant zip codes.................(grin)

Mine was essentially a halibut build, with a #3 tube. The rifle handled well, and shot like a 6br. I LOVE that chambering, and if I had a rifle that would feed those little cases reliably, it would still be in my safe. It fed pretty well, just not well for 100% confidence.
I used it for antelope, and it was a wicked performer.

With that said, if you build one on a Montana and it ends up being reliable, I may just follow you down the path and build another.

Figure I'll just shim the aft of the box with an aluminum spacer,shorten the follower to suit and it will assuredly feed like it has eyes...it's not even a concern.
Nothing to it..............

If I like the chambering/blueprint as much as I anticipate,the next one will be on a Jap Varmintmaster................

Stick,
Have you built a 6-250/6 Creed?
Would it be UBER? Is the BR gonna be more UBER'er?

The International/XC/Creed whatever you wanna call it,never has horned me up...except Improved and necked to .224".(grin)
The 6 BR appeal is due solely the superlative Lapooey brass,as I've long hated Norma. Whatever the 105's velocity is,I'll have enough erector travel in the bank to steal the show and I've seen me dope wind.
Pard recently got a High Zoot 6XC that's 28" 1-7.5" and he's raving about it. I've no doubt it does nice things,but for applying Ooooomph I'm gonna grab a Faux Ti 243AI and rock the Casbah. I'm soooooooo done with long barrels.
Hell,none of my 6-284's are greater than 23"...............

Hell,none of my 6-284's are greater than 23"............... I was thinking of using Lapua brass and necking it up to 6 and just buying whatever dies Dave might recommend to go along with whatever 6-250 reamer he uses. And I agree that few things are more better than ringing 800yd steel over and over and over before somebody asks "Did you say that's a 22-250?" Travis

A fast twist 6mm,can't suck.
Pard built his Dick Rifle on a Montucky,wearing a dupe/dupe Liljee 3-grooved 1-8" and it is a HAMMER. Thought real hard about burning this Montucky Donor up in that direction,but I've already got some purty good Dick Rifles...so opted the Less Is More approach to itch scratchin'.
He can reach 1500 and change on the Dicktucky and I can get well past a mile with my Original Dick.
Everyone is scrounging the last of the 30mm Signature DD's,for literally MAX latitude. I went 20MOA in eccentrics and another 50MOA in rear base shims on my Samtucky and with a 225yd 75A-Max zero,reap 42.7 Mils remaining on the erector alone.
It blows minds..................(grin)

Call Burris.... One member here did a 6XC on a tucky, should be sweet. Hate reminding folks how often they overpower themselves on deer and such, as my longest deer killswas dumped at 400 yds, Amax, 28.5 Varget, 2850 muzzle, 26" Ruger #1V profile carried out. Kepplinger 8 oz set trigger, shot the smallest 3 shot group ever for me at 330 yds, UNDER 1/2 inch. I'd go 21" on a #2 but you won't lose 15-30fps losing an inch. If me, also consider 6mm-6.5x47 Lapooey brass Feed Eeze, though bore life is less. Prob push 3K, not that 200 mv diff will be 200 at LR. Either need mils, just a few diff. Aalf might chime in on a Dasher. Might be the Uber. Lest one on a budget, Ruger AR 243 9T, hacksaw to 20" and fix trigger with the Boxer technique. 4 Bills. Maybe do some rigging on scope ties for mils.

Why the 6br over the 243? Mag room? less a couple hundred fps and 10 grains of powder?

Lappoey brass he said, and a sleeper.
Me - Bore life of course, little less blast, efficient in a carbine, powder savings. Folks usually build with a purpose and something different than an OEM.

Sometimes less is more... Less powder = more barrel And any engine pushing 105s is cool
