Do you have a reamer? Scope? Blind mag? Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again! Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.

I've got a couple three barrels in Heavy Varmint/MTU/AMU contours, and they all fit in the Marksmans with room to spare. The Marksman has the same forend as an A-5 in width and length. You could run a straight 1.250" and still have flats on the top of both sides of the forend, which measure about 1.450" out to out.

Yes, another Marksman on the way. I had to take the bolt stop out of the Bat action so it would bolt into this stock for load work till it shows. I've dropped the bolt on the bench a couple times till I got used to no stop.....

How similar are the loads you've ended up with across your various 6.5x47L barrels? Thanks Carl....wished all mine were Bats, but......$$$$ Loads are pretty much the same across the board. With 123/130 class, 37.5 to 38.0 grains hits a node and 39.5 is the top node, with this lot of Varget anyway.

Carl_Ross Campfire Regular C Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,878 Bozeman, MT	Interesting...my primary competition load last year was 130 Hybrids and 37.4 of Varget. It worked well, very consistent velocities. Empirical results rule!

Next up.....showdown betwixt the two...... I loaded up 20 of each, and gave them a go at 100-200-300-400. Virtual tie that day, each "winning" 2 yardages, in less than ideal winds. Went out several days later in better testing conditions. 38 grains: 200).560" 300).820" 400)3.100" 500)3.350" 39.5 grains: 200).1.230" 300)1.870" 400)1.180" 500)1.465"

I gathered up my neck sizer, priming tool, Wilson seater, and filled 12 plastic vials with 39.5 grains of Varget, plus bullets & primers, then proceeded to shoot one case 12 times. Every time, opening and closing the bolt was a one finger affair, the case never got tight in the chamber, and the primer pockets stayed snug though out......cool. I'm there.....

I generally toss out 2-3 lids off the Krylon spray cans for rough zeroing in the dirt for initial wind guesses. Once at 1200, I gave a couple MOA more wind from my 1K zero, and let one go. That still landed left, so I clicked to the impact and shot again.....just under the lid. A couple clicks up and the 3rd shot sent the cap flying...yee haa... I moved over to the steel and the 1st shot landed, but with the mirage, I had no idea where. 2nd shot landed in the dirt, just left. 3rd shot, I held on the right edge, and it went in the same spot in the dirt....dammit. 4th shot, I held more right and heard the impact. 5th shot, same hold, another hit, but still no clue where. Gathered up my shiit and drove down to check things out. Gawd damn.....that'll work: The 3 on the plate measure 2 inches even....I like it.
