To go back to your original question, the game animal wont care That equation remains shot placement>>>>>bullet construction>>>velocity>caliber While it may push higher velocity from a shorter barrel or much higher velocity from a standard barrel, the 7 rem mag has already proven itself the...

Not from the perspective of pressure. 7bc operates at 80k psi whereas all the PRC calibers operate at max of 65k psi. That would suggest there is less room for error with regard to chamber geometry (and potentially running dirty) That said, I come from a perspective of reading a lot about it...

I was in Foley for 5 years and moved to Huntsville last month. My boat is still in Magnolia Springs and is on the river right now with family who are pointing it into the bay for redfish Glad to know how prevalent we are down that way. I clearly should've posted about my presence so we...

Welcome. I just moved from LA to Huntsville. I was wholly unaware of how many folks we had on the coast but the forum (and I bet those folks in LA!) are a tremendous resource.

I don’t begrudge you. Ive thought about bobbing and threading a no1 too. Hearing is indeed important and I love to stalk hunt quiet woods without plugs

Very cool. I was hoping this was what he did in this case Thanks very much for the photos. I’ll need to reach out to him soon

Intriguing. Did he add a shoulder? Depending on how your suppressor is attached it may not matter, just curious Also, may I ask the length of the finished barrel?

Which contour and what threads?

I had more time to look through your response. I think this corroborates what I was seeing from comparing various online measurements- that a magnum length action is 3 inches shorter but is effectively 2 inches shorter as a result of Blaser including the collet lockup in their barrel length...

Thanks very much!

Thank you. This jives with what I’ve seen posted in a few reviews and basically says the that the Blaser stock/action length comes out to roughly 17.5” (45mm) with standard 14” LOP on a professional or success stock (this would be lengthened by 0.5” for the new pro 2.0 stock). Add desired barrel...

I would take a Lott. I have an extra 500NE in return

Apologies for resurrecting an older (but excellent) thread. I have read this post several times over the last year as I consider taking the dive on an r8 and several barrels I am greatly appreciative of all contributions One thing that I’d like to get more clarity on is the alleged overall...

I generally agree and suspect that they’ll be likely to pick newer stuff like PRC, WSM, etc But then again, there are old receivers being chambered in 6.5 creedmoor and they make 45-70 loads that would likely blow a trapdoor apart We’ll see

I suspect it can be done but leaves you needing to justify living at the safety margin 375s come from the factory from several makers with a 5/8x24 thread pitch. the absolute minimum wall thickness accepted for bottleneck rifle calibers by pretty much everybody is .100 inch muzzle wall. The...
