Savage 11 LRH 6.5 creedmoor w/Valdada
willhunt4coues replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Classified Ads
If you buy the same lot # you should have great consistency but when you change lots thats when numbers change. The 6.5 Creedmoor is known for its accuracy, precision, recoil like a 22/250, and long range capabilities. Believe it or not this gun out performed my Model 10 6.5 creedmoor. I believe it is the barrel length difference. I could not get my mod 10 to do any better than 3/4 inch and the model 11 at 1/4 inch so thats why I rebuilt my model 10. I am in the process of building another. I was going to use the model 11 to build but would rather sell then completely rip apart a gun that shoots great. -

I shot the coyote with the 129 grain sst (They don't make a 139 gn sst). Anyways I have hit 2975 fps with some of the 129 sst and most boxes are at 2950 fps. There is some guys over seas that are using the amax to take goats at 900 to 1000 yards and they amax are out performing the bergers. Go figure. here is the link http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/Wound+Database/6.5mm+-+Hornady+A-Max.html -

I was going to grab the Leica but went with the G7 for my applications and as much as I shoot. The Leica 1600 is worth the money. If you want spot on results for long range ballistics get the G7BR2 from Gunworks guys. It cost a lot more but can tell you personally it is worth every penny.

With the numbers I have you can easily take an elk at 850 yards with this rifle and would not hesitate since i practice at this yardage all the time. I get about 2850 fps with factory and reloads. Again I have all load work up on this gun.- 36 replies

Annealing for accuracy
willhunt4coues replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I always bump my shoulders .001 after every firing. I am achieving the best accuracy doing this. I was just neck sizing but found out that bumping actually improved my accuracy. like 308nut said quenching does not harden the case. Most quench so the heat does not travel through the body of the case because the body and head it HAS to remain hard. If it were to soften then you would have case head separation. You can get some 450 templaq and paint a line from the neck to the base, then put 750 on the inside of the neck and start annealing. As soon as you see the 750 melt then look to see how far the 450 has melted down the case and you will see it does not travel any more than 1/3 down the case verifying that you have not softened the case you will see as soon as you take away the heat when 750 melts you will see the 450 stop at the 1/3 mark and in reality you do not need to quench. At 480 degrees brass starts to change form not much but this is the start. -
Annealing for accuracy
willhunt4coues replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
The main thing to remember is to bring your cases to the correct temp. I have tried bringing them to 650, 700, 750, and 800. The 650 & 700 my es 15/sd 5 was all over the place but with 750 to 800 i have es 5/ sd 1. If you do it by hand that is great I use to do it by hand but as much as I shoot it got annoying. Still even by hand get you some templaq 750 and 800 and apply this on the inside of of neck on a few trash cases so you know exactly how long to keep the brass in the flame and the color it turns. The templaq just lets you know yes you brought it up to that temp then you can quench or knock it over in the water. It will make a world of difference knowing you brought it up to the right temp. -

I use a bushing die but have the stuff to turn but did not need to with nosler cases. -

This gun will produce 1/2 to 3/4 moa with factory loads. Hornady, nosler, and winchester all make loaded factory ammo from around 22.00 to 30.00 -

I am selling the gun and scope combo for what I bough the scope and base for. So really buy a scope and base and get a free gun!!! I WILL NOT GO ANY LOWER. I am about 500.00 below what I really wanted. I have all the load work up for this gun. So you can just load up some rounds at all my numbers and start shooting 1/4 to 1/2 groups all day. I have also cleaned this gun after every outing so she is always in clean shape. -

I don't mind annealing your cases but the only plate at this time I have excepts .308 sizes. SO if anyone would like theirs done you can bring me your cases and I will anneal them for 30.00 per 100. -
Most gunsmiths will use Devcon steel putty to bed an action. Your barrel has harmonics and it is best to leave it free floating from the recoil lug forward, There are some that will pick a load and bed an inch at a time forward of the lug (bedding at the start of the barrel recoil lug forward) and keep adding an inch at a time till they achieve the group that they want with said load. This is real.

The young and old shooting 1050 yards
willhunt4coues replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Long Range Shooting
I use a redding neck bushing die but I first run my cases through my body die and bump my shoulder everytime .001. The annealing helps a lot with consistent neck tension. I was annealing by hand but doing it after every firing I decided a machine would benefit so I bought the Ballistics Edge model 400. I have a review on it I will share. -
Here is my son Zack shooting 1050 yards 13 mph winds no practice shots. This is his first time ever shooting this far target is 20 inches. Here i am shooting the same distance 1050 yards I shot first then my son shot 2nd. Again no practice shots 1st shot hits for both. My second shot at this distance hit same place as my first shot producing a 2" group. here are some more videos for your viewing. I just recorded from my phone while the camera was plugged into the TV so I can upload faster. I will get a full video edited and uploaded when i have time. My nephew Price is 10 years old and has only shot long range 2 times, my son of course shots as much as i do (100 rounds a week), my dad is also getting into the long range fun when I built him a 6.5 Creedmoor. Centering shot 500 yards 12" target Nephew shooting 550 yards 12" target My 2 shot group 2 weeks ago 760 yards 12" target My son 760 yards 12" target Nephew 760 yards 12" target Dad 750 yards 12" target Me 750 yards 12" target https://vimeo.com/101889561

Yes if you clean it you can open close no problem but as soon as you fire 1 round it will not move until cleaned. I leave it open for the range then if I am going hunting I close it. -

Bubble level is also included. Scope tracks perfectly (tall target test done) scope rings also were reamed with a 35mm reamer. Everything on this gun holds true and will for years to come. Valdada glass is just as good as Swarovski glass with a transferable lifetime warranty. Scope elevation adjustment is 32 MOA (1140 yards for 140gn 2835fps). You can use the moa marks inside and get out to 1500 yards (20 moa total reticle at 24 power). 1700.00 I forgot about the pictures but I will get them up tonight.
