Never had any luck jumping bullets - fluke groups but never in match (50+ rounds) conditions. I've been jamming .010-.015 My 6.5s like RL15 and RL17 - YMMV. OCW will help you with water line at extended range. Flyers at short range regardless of the load are signs of other issues - technique...

Thread jack (LOL). I am looking for Swedes and Finns. Finally got my financial situation sorted out and ready to rebuild my collection!

I have a few 6.5x55 swedes. Decided to build a 6.5x55 Savage for F-Class (since I have all plethora of reloading components). It was pretty cool- but 6.5x47L just did everything better. In modern rifle if you are willing to deal with long action - might as well do a 7mm (284, 280, 7x57AI etc)...

No parts will interchange between the Axis and 10 except for the barrel. Building LEFT handed rifle will be a pain - finding parts is near impossible. With that said FLCP-SR already got all the goodies - just buy good glass and burn thousands of dollars in ammo. And when that gets old - buy...

22-250 bolt gun or 6.5 grendel AR-15. 223 is a great deer cartridge - but distance, bullet and placement sensitive - and I would not recommend for the first hunt. The two above give more room for error with very little recoil increase.

If you don't reload - 6.5Creed is very hard to argue with. If you do reload - 6.5x47 Lapua beats it in every way possible - efficiency, barrel life, recoil, etc etc etc If you reload for 6.5Creed - I guess, sorry you missed the point of the existence of the cartridge :( Optics would highly...

As far as irons go - peep and post is impossible to beat, unless you have eye problems and need something more "open" (like a U-notch).

I just pulled targets for a kid shooting factory ammo from a 20" AR-15 shooting 6.5 Grendel at 1000 yards (vicious Red Castle match). If you do not have one of those - you are missing out - thoroughly impressed!!!!

It is an AR-10 cartridge, even though COL is 2.300" - which is only .050" over AR-15 magazine, but the pressure and the energy would probably destroy AR-15 platform. Little brothers of Raptor (450 Bushmaster and 458 SoCom) run about half the pressure to work in AR15. Sounds like a cool 45-70-ish...

Ok, I'll bite - how is 1911 even in the same category as G19? Double the size, double the weight, double the cost and half the capacity. And if you want to talk logistics - existence of 1911 and 45ACP* is THE PRIME example of logistics gone wrong .... * Browning re-engineered his 9mm designs...

7.62x39 is a base for quite possibly the most accurate cartridge ever created - 30PPC (or 30 Stewart) (7.62x39 -> 220 Russian -> 6PPC -> 30 Stwewart) I would stick to proven cases, powders and projectiles from the benchrest crowd - and you might have yourself a real shooter. The "case"...

Yugos are notorious for corroded gas tubes. It's so bad - WalMart carries them: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tapco-SKS-Gas-Tube-with-Handguard-Yugo-Black/22286797

Thank you sir! If you want "fun" - try 7.62x39 "work" in AR platform - I have personally failed miserably - not accurate and doesn't feed 100% :(

Action length does matter if you planning to "feed" it. But I am really interested in the build - did you go with 308 barrel (vs 311)? Twist? Hand loads? Bullets?

What in the actual eff? Seriously, the only reason 6.5 Creed exists is that tacticool crowd DON'T RELOAD!!!! Anyone with a press will (or at least should) go for 6.5x47 since it's a superior cartridge in every aspect. I guess blown primers will keep the brass sales going ;)

Bad shoulder: Long Action = Wrong Action

6mmAR is the correct answer!!! ;) http://www.6mmar.com/Page_1.html On the other hand - if 223 isn't "working" in AR-15 - AR-15 is your problem, not 223.

UTG pro super slim what I've been using for years - with a bit of shopping around you can get those for about $100
