    6mm Creedmoor

    Figured I would start my own topic for my new build. I won a 1/2 off rebarrel labor from Live Oak Precision last month and decided a creedmoor is ehat I wanted. Have a Rem 700 that will be trued up then chambered with a Bartlien 1:8" twist barrel and contoured in light palma. The stock for now will be a HS Precision Sendero take off I had laying around. My biggest wait right now is for the reamer to come in, which Scott ordered and paid for, then I can make the drive to Wylie. Had a few things show up in the way of dies and bullets. I just need to order bushings and a 6mm seating stem to complete the die set. Also picked up a pound of H4350 as well as RL17 to try out before buying a large quantity. Hoping to get 3000fps out of a 22" barrel. Anyway here is a pick of what just came in.

      Sweet man!
      I'm considering running the new 130gr AR Bergers for my 6.5.

      Will be following your build.

        I haven't seen anyone running them yet, I don't think there are a whole lot out yet. I know Chad had some but I don't think he has ran any yet.

          Most of the guys are running the 140gr A-Max projectiles so I'll be anxious to hear your results.

            Got a call from the gunsmith reamer is being shipped out, so I'll be taking parts some time soon. Also got these in and will be getting the optic soon.

              Got a couple boxes of brass today courtesy of G. A. Precision.


              For comparison here is a 6mm Creedmoor case , 7mm-08AI and a 308.

                A little bit of a update. Dropped everything off at the gunsmith and amazed at the equipment he had for a one man show that just now started doing it full time. He already had the Bartlien in but needed to contour it down to my prefrence then true the action and chamber. I hopefully will have the barreled action back in a few weeks.

                    Scott Weichel over in Wylie. The guy has a full cnc with mill all tied or linked together. Another cad controlled lathe plus a manual lathe and mill. He used to machine for stiller but now is a full time gunsmith on his own. Seems pretty reasonable on prices and he even covered the cost for the reamer since he didn't have it.

                      Nice Dee! Thinking about having a 6.5 Grendel built on a CZ mini Mauser action...

                        A guy on thf had one done with a light short barrel and it is awesome. I saw it when I dropped all of my stuff off. It pointed and handled beautifully.

                          That's what is inspiring me to get it done. Always thought it would be a good gun, just needed some inspiration... Of course my wallet will have to catch up to my want-to, so who knows how long it will be...

                            It was a absolutely awesome handling gun. It's inspired me to keep my eyes open for one. Scott did a awesome job on it at that and is willing to work on anything.

                              Got my bottom metal inletted for t h e most part. I will bed it and install flush cups when the barreled action gets done.
