Said all he needs to do is set the barrel back a few thou and it would be good for another 2000 rounds.... 6.5 is not over bored like 28.... interesting....

But a 6.5 pushing well over 3100 fps and if you can get 2000 rounds shooting the same groups as the first 100 I would be impressed. Your throat will probably be erroaded first though.

But 2500 rounds sounds like a Creedmoor. 3000-5000 our 308s. But a hooping fast 6.5 at that speed keeping accuracy for 2500 round you sir have a golden goose. I would be impressed. Keep a log of it and then send it my way at 2500 rounds. If its still the same Im calling GAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 50-75 FPS slower but more ammo avail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted September 20, 2018 2500 is a lot of shooting. For example with a 60g charge 2500 rounds is around 20lbs that a lot of time at the reloading bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted September 20, 2018 That’s 40lbs of powder or about 6k in ammo. Is this “4000” rounds from precision bolt action rifle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
