I have been contemplating running some mild loads using my fearsome pile of 6mm bullets with H4895 in my Fieldcraft, 6ARC without the expense of a new rifle and easy on the barrel. The holdup, aside from laziness, is the lack of H4895. Saw a jug a few months ago and let it slip away. I have one broken jug, but am hoarding it for my .30/06. I've considered doing the same to see how close I can get a 6.5 CM to a 6.5 Grendel. Curiosity was my main motivator....and time was my main source of demotivation. Try 4198 or RL 7.... 30 grains... or 3031 which has been available. try between 30 to 35 grains.. you'll find something that you like to duplicate a 6.5 Grendal...I load for both, along with the 260 Rem and the 6.5 x 55 and 6.5 x 57...

I've gotten to the point, I'm going to order a barrel from Douglas... have it set up with a 1 in 8 twist, although I probably don't need it..but it won't hurt anything... I'm just going to have it as a switch barrel on my Ruger American Predator...same profile and 22 inch barrel... Oregon Tool & Die have a Savage Style barrel nut for cheap and its close enough for me to go over and pick it up at the 'factory'. Regular polymer 223 mags for ARS work just fine, and actually work better than the factory Ruger Mag that came with it.. I'm enjoying playing with a 6 x 45 most recently...one doesn't need much to take down a blacktail a 100 to 250 yds... That one is on a Savage Axxis platform... minus the barrel the rest is all factory... sitting on more than enough powder, primers and bullets in 6mm and 6.5 mm to out last the Biden Administration..

" The Adventures of Schtick in the Alaskan Wild".. where can the rest of us sign up? Rick you should think about signing up.. I hear they have a shorter wait list.. then you can get all this heroism, straight from the source, right to your door step or mailbox.... So Stumpy, how do you know when people have a "broke dick ?" do you inspect them? if that is a coverup.. you can fix yours with a simple catheter and a piss bag... Ain't easy being Schtick is it? but 'no one but no one', can get as much out of two brain cells than you can... even more so when you're drunk...

There ain't much meat on the bone,on either of mine and there really should be much more surface area engagement to boot. Hint. I tend to re-spring many latches anyhow,so am well prepared. Standard fare,is to double down and overshoot the original,with more ass. Hint. MUCH fhuqking better now,but Gen2 JO fhuqking kills it. Hint. In fairness,I've never seen a Seven in 7-08,let alone Smoochin' 162 ELD's. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!............
