MULEPACKHUNTER

27 year old Rem 700 rebuilt into 7PRCW. Lots of time and precision laid into this build, Hope to have groups soon. Accurized, Sleeved, Trued, new Barrel, Custom Brake, Trigger, Bolt knob one off custom, Bedded, Stock rear weight added, custom LOP, fluted firing pin body, shroud relieved, 8-40 base screws.

Just for reference, I have a 2 head 37K split in my garage, 1000 sq feet, 2x6 construction stucco on foam with plywood and 5/8 drywall inside and crap insulation. My issue area ids my roof is plywood then foam then poly paint and thats my hottest spot with laser. Garage doors are insulated and sealed pretty well all around. I am currently running at one time a cnc mill and engine lathe (welder, lights, laser, at odd times). This set up barely keeps up in the hottest part of the summer so i usually work at night or mornings til noon. 48K would have been the way to go for my set up. I do plan to upgrade the insulation this year and add more foam and paint to the roof, this should help for next summer. An 18K unit isnt going to do much unless you sit in front of it. I added a 24K unit to the cabin in Heber and that thing has been great in the afternoons and warming things up on cold mornings. cools off 1200 sq feet real well up there.

I am a dealer for MR COOL and sell alot of DIY kits, I have one in my shop. Need some details on size of shop and insulation and what your doing in the shop?

My brain was off on guns or something, this was loads he tossed together with no load development. I was quoting what he sent me. He said pretty tight for factory ammo. I’m not involved on his end and still waiting for group pics. The scope thing really messed things up.

The guy went to shoot it today and it shot jagged holes with factory ammo but he didnt know about the course adjustment under the scope cap and was way high at 100. Said he would get me some groups next week. Anyone else run into this with 20 moa rails? I feel like Leupold is the only one I have seen this on.

Barrel is Kreiger Sendero 26.5 long 1:8.5 twist. With a 4 port 2.4 long Break shes a bit long but not too bad off hand. The owner is 6'4" and Length of pull is 14.25 so it kind of evens out. As it sits came out to 11 lbs or just a hair under. VX 5 scope is pretty light.

I don't have specks on the reamer, it was customer owned. I just made the Hole. It was from Manson and specked per Erick Cortina recommendation. Hard to keep up with all the details on some of the custom stuff.

I think there are more disadvantages, its a new round so no brass, no dies, no factory ammo. Its really for long range set ups, less recoil, less powder, same speed, less extreme spread, more consistant groups, less fussy. Its just a slight improvement here and there for guys that are focussed on precision in the 7mm family. Its just like the Ackley, the BR, the GT stuff. Slight improvements over rounds really similar. Oh and you could get away with short action, but the best would be a medium action, both being shorter stroke than the long action 7 PRC.

Ya the PRC is getting out of hand, but for the precision and efficiency this W is really nice. Made a custom full length die for this as well so should be a shooter.

Very nice, we just got back as well, struck out but found a few to play with and walked some new country. Didnt see one camp and maybe 2 folks drove by in 3 days. weather was awsome.

headed out next week, heard some good reports from 2 weeks back.

Do a little more research, it can be a short. Doesnt mean it should be but it can. Not every projectile needs to be hanging out 2 inches and 200 grns. To make it a short would kill resale so not going to happen but it was a "short" thought. I settled on the 260 almost for sure but not totally for sure.

Choosing between a few rounds for a new build and looking for resale efficacy for each. Lets say retail on this site, what bolt action rifle would sell better in your opinion? Maybe top two? All are Standard, short action. 260 REM 6.5 284 Norm 6.5 Creed 6.5x47 Lapua

not sure what you want in (pinning)? A small spot where the set screw goes is all you need. It wont move. Depending on makers some barrels have them stock and some dont. And some are misplaced depending on gas block maker. Pain in the butt. Let me know if you need it done but im far west of you.

As far as resale the idea was to build a nice rig and play for a while then sell and move on. I can do everything myself so resale will still be a profit if i can find a buyer. I have a Barrel already in 6.5 and a nice action which is why the constraints.

Ya I have some ideas on the short action 6.5 284 but it would be hand load only and its not proven. Im leaning towards the 260 rem and second the creed. Ive never shot a creed in 6.5 other than an AR10 but i always loved the 260.

Just ream some more free bore in.

Mag fit, undergassed. Where did it toss the brass? behind you? 90 degrees to the right is optimum rule, forward toss is overgassed I see alot of gas holes in barrels off to the block. After shooting pull it apart and be sure the block didnt move and look at the hole in the barrel, most times I see a figure eight shape from the gas hitting the barrel where its out of alignment.

Whats the dates?
