In my experience Brux barrels are pretty good, but might have to try a Bunx!

I own a bat action ,bunx barrel 6.5x284 for competition and it is very accurate Pete, What is the information of the gunsmith that you use that installs your bunx barrels? I tried googling bunx barrels but all it comes up with is this discussion thread and a single on Apple Music title "Mek it Bunx Up (feat. Marcy Chin)" - Single by DeeWunn. Google suggests I meant "Brux barrel" instead. Stupid Google!

Darn the secret about the Bunx is out, now there will be months long waits involved.

what puzzles me is how the "the best designed" cartridges often don't make it... for example the 300 RSAUM with 30 degree shoulder should technically be better than the 300 WSM if the "30 degree is optimal" is a truism... yet because it runs 50 fps slower than the 300 WSM and came out a year later it is a has-been... the 6.5 Creedmoor on the other hand has that optimal 30 degree shoulder, and runs slower than the 260, but no one cares, and it is beating the pants off all other short action 6.5s... Could be “Remington” is the reason RSAUM took a back seat to WSM. They have a track record, screwing up roll outs and marketing. Creed has a lot more going for it than 30*. Hornady knows how to build and market a new round. They on the other end of the spectrum from Remington. DF 25, 30, 35, 40 degrees ; Is 30 really optimum, or is that also case capacity, bore, and neck length inter-dependant ? Yes, Remington Really Pooched the Screw on the SAUMs . sob I hope these 300 RCM / 6.5 PRC cartridge intros don't follow the 7mm WSM and the SAUMs. Sure looks like the nifty little 338 RCM is done. surely the 26 degree shoulder of the 6mm Remington is optimum (evil grin) 6mm Rem a good round, a victim of Rem marketing prowess. Better round than .243, but you’d never figure that out based on sales. DF 26 28 30 Degrees, with "adequate" Neck Length - Hmmm we seem to be zeroing in on something ... All these cartridges with the steeper Shoulder Angles, and short Neck Length are compromised, just by trying to squeeze into a short action. 6.5 x .280 RCBS ( 28 ) perfect LA 6.5 140 Hurler
