Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 6MM WOA?

Thanks Jeff. I was hoping you would chime in. This one was built by Dan Carey. However, its now on my Noveske upper. Im using the BCG that Carey had in the upper. Im hoping it shoots well enough that i can sell the 20" stainless Noveske varmint barrel. I actually put the Noveske barrel on the upper that Carey used, with the oldschool round aluminum handguard and Noveske BCG. That barrel really never even got any use from me, as i was always using my Northtech Defense.

call dtech for a 6mm DTI, pretty much the same thing.

I don't really need a "dtech"...




I just need to get some time to shoot this WOA and see how accurate she is...

Looks good bud!

Thanks man... Do you need a Noveske 20" varmint contour for your 600 yard shooting?

I have a 6mm WOA. Mine's a 26" in a Match Rifle Upper. I'd have to dig a bit for load data. I think most of my load development was in the 107 Sierra's. I thought I was running 85's for mag length. Accurate and easy to load for. I recall playing with Varget, Re15 and 4895.


I have both and they're not "very similar". My WOA get's me about 2700 with a 107 Sierra. The BR was good for around 2900 in a 26" AR.

What's the gas block diameter? .750?

Bigger. I can measure it tonight.

Cool. Both are supposed to be pretty good long range target guns. If you run across your load data, let me know. Thanks.

Hey Chris or rost/Jeff, if you don't mind, I may need a little guidence on this one. I was shooting it yesterday and it seems finicky with this powder (IMR 8208 XBR). I'd much rather be using my AR Comp powder, but will probably keep fiddling around with the 8208. Anyway, there was a big difference in group size in just 1/2 grain difference in powder:



It gets closer to the node with 1/2 grain more powder:


I'm thinking maybe .2 of a grain increments up in wt. next time out. No signs of overpressure at 28.5 grains. Rifle throws the brass in a nice cluster at the 4:30 position. Any words of advice? Thanks.. Oh by the way, I could use that bullet for deer hunting if I wanted. Its a gameking. When I picked them up, I wasn't paying any attention. Thought I was getting the match bullets, DUH!!!

Fella in our club uses the 6 WOA. He shoots 107gr Sierra otm. Not 85's so his data won't be much use to you..

Are you running any of your loads over a chronograph?

Sure

not shooting a single round Audette ladder tells me zippo.

Shoot the ladder, take the middle of the highest MV, and see what gives, tweak from there, rest is a waste of components and time. Do it at 300 if at all possible at night or 200 rather than 100 you know what I mean.

I'll date this data, my data is 4283 miles away right now. But I'm fairly sure I started with benchmark, and 80 or 85s. And took a compilation of internet data and John Holliger data and was in a hurry that day, never did a ladder, first 3 shot group was tight enough, follow up 5 shot groups were good. Its been generally within an inch of aiming point or less ever since. AT 100.
