Karl built another nail driver. Finally took it for a test run this week. Here are the results. Both targets resemble 3 shot groups at 100yds.

Old Rem 700 SA
Hawkins BM
G&H McMillan Edge Filled Stock
Hart #2 flutted @ 22”
Leupold HD 2.5x8
Weighs well under 7lbs fully loaded.

Shooting both 80gr GMX & 90GR BTs with superformance powder. Hornady Brass

Beautiful! Karl does know how to build a fine rifle.

Damn, that’s about perfect right there!

6CM has become one of my favorites. Two Fieldcrafts and a custom in progress.

Another beaut! Shoots light out too! Love it!

Only have the one FC, but it’s been easy-peasy so far. I call it the .243 DR, for Done Right.

Fine looking rifle.

Nice shooting! Karl builds some very nice rifles.

Glad to see another Karl creation. He does a great job.

Nice setup.

Pappy,

Do you have any secret loads you'd care to divulge?

Really nice! I sure like mine.

Pappy 348, Ok if i steal you name .243 DR ??? Rio7

Here’s a preemptive time stamped “I’ll take it” in case that thing ever comes up on the chopping block! Awesome bud!

nice rifle...mountain rifle stock though not a g&h

No secrets; 95gr BTs or LRXs over H4350 or StaBall 6.5. Don’t need to push very hard around here, and the Fieldcraft is pretty easy to please and puts any of it pretty much in the same place. I’ve yet to kill anything with it but a couple of foxes, but my son borrowed it to shoot a deer a couple of years ago on a nearby farm.

A pleasant surprise was the 100 rounds of Norma 107gr Match ammo for $21 a box. Shoots very well and I’ll have some nice brass when it’s gone.

Be my guest.

Great looking rifle that shoots!!!! I'd be all smiles

Pappy348, Thank you Rio7

What’s the twist? My 6CM has a 1:7.5 and loves the 105 Hybrids which have been absolutely stunning on deer and hogs.

Much the same here as my FC seems to shoot factory and handloads all well but I do like the 95 LRX over RL16. The LRX has acounted for a couple wolves and a caribou. RL16 seems about interchangeable with H4350.

I went with a 1-7” twist. I do plan on shooting some 105gr bullets at some point.

What does the G&H mean in "G&H McMillan Edge Filled Stock"?

Griffin and Howe

That is not a Griffin and Howe pattern stock.


That is a Remington 700 Mountain rifle pattern stock.

"243 Done Right"..........I sure have to agree with this one!

The 6 CM has become my go to everyday gun, I am currently building 2 Curtis Actions to .243 Done Right , both with Proof 7.5 20" Barrels. Wyatt bottom metal and 5 and 10 rnd mags, New trigger groups, Manners Stocks, Dead Air Suppressors, they should be fun to work up loads for. Rio7

Bought a Nosler 6 Creed several years back. It keyholed everything right out of the box. After 5 months back at Nosler, it came back to me in pretty good shape. It's a great chambering.

Ah yes the "it's always broken guy"........you missed btw

10rds of 105bthp hornady factory ammo out of a proof research steel prefit I spun on the ol tikka. Shot as fast as I could cycle the bolt.


6 creed for everything this year, elk, deer, antelope, aoudad...

That's how my $450 6c ruger American predator shoots with factory ammo. Don't surprise me that PB [bleep] up his 6c someday I'd like to here about something he bought that was right lol prolly about the time I win the powerball and fug miss America on the same day lol.mb

lolololol.

Nice rifle Jason. That should work well on an eastern Ky whitetail.

Look forward to it pal.

Looks you'll need some more Superformance! I'm you're Huckleberry! Lol!

Very nice!

243 DR, AKA (6CM) Curtis action, Proof 1x7.5x 20" Barrel, Action Stock, Wyatt bottom metal. Timeny Trigger Group, built last year, have sense changed scope from a Viper Vortex to a Razor.




My reloads, 5 shots, using a Dead Air Can, Rio7

For the hunting I do these days I would be fully covered by a 1:7.5" 5,6x50R or 22-250, ans a 6,5x57R.

If I had to cut the list down to one then it would be my 6XC.
