I have a 260 Remington and a 6.5x284. Both built on Remington blue printed receivers. I whacked an prairie goat with the 6.5x284 3 years ago at 804 yds. Used Berger 140gr Hunting VLDs it still blew the left shoulder out.

WTH is a prairie goat?? Wikipedia gave me info on goat prairies, but nothing about specific game.

It is a NSX 5.5-22x50 R1 w/ an anti-cant/cosine indicator from Defensive Edge. Shawn Carlock built the rifle. The only thing I don't like is the Seekins dbm. I like Seekins rings and bases(I've dealt with Seekins back when it was just Glenn in his shop), but the dbm has too much slop for me. I had a Seekins dbm on my .308 and it didn't feed well. Switched to Surgeon dbm, problem solved. My Edge feeds fine, just not crazy about the dbm....Shawn normally uses a Wyatt extended box....it was my choice.

Unless it's on a trans am

As some know, I build rifles as a hobby. I'm into high precision hunting rifles. Either I blue print Remington 700 receivers or use Surgeon receivers. I use either Krieger or Rock Creek barrels. For hunting stocks. I prefer Greybull stocks. For precision rifles I prefer XLR industries.

This build is a 338 Edge (338/300 RUM) built on a Surgeon Receiver with a Rock Creek Barrel heavy varmint. 1-9.5 twist. the scope is a Votex 5x20x54 Razor HD. If you are LE/Military or Veteran. go check out Vortex website for a 40% off their MSRP. PM me for details

What dbm are you using....CDI? Have you looked into Bertram brass?
My Edge.....

Using PT&G bottom metal and CDI mags. Had to mod the mag so I could use 300 RUM brass

This is a 3 shot group from my 338 EDGE with only ten rounds down the barrel. it measured 3/8 of an inch. This was with barrel break-in ammo. 80 grs of H1000, 250 SMK, Norma once fired brass and CCI magnum Rifle primers

That's pretty awesome for minimal load development. It will only get better as you well know.
