Thx +2 Do you think 1.375 high rings would work with a 50 mm objective? |

My optic will not get in in time for the rifle or ammo. Actually I haven't even decided on an optic. However I do have an Aimpoint Pro and set of MBUS lying around...Could be interesting.
What are you guys looking at as far as optics? I'm leaning heavily towards the Bushnell ERS. |

How can they weigh 10oz *more* than the Gen 1 Razor which was already a tank when something like the Leupold 3-18 MK6 weighs so much less?!?! A 3lb optic is a hard pill for me to swallow. |

This is my same reason. I ended up going with a Bushnell ERS. If I want to upgrade in the future, I can always sell it. I don't own a single rifle that hasn't had at least 3 scopes on it before I settled for the perfect fit. |

Probably the best scope you'll find for the money, assuming 21x is enough magnification for you (and if it's not, I'm gonna guess the RPR isn't enough rifle, either). Mount will probably be a LaRue LT-104. I am planning on a .308 build, so not going to be shooting F-class or whatever. I have seen some indication that TTAG is going to review the rifle using that scope, so I guess we'll find out how well it works. |

Besides those issues, which are not show stoppers, a 20MOA mount on a 20MOA base is not a huge deal. Heck, ELR platforms like the Desert Tech DTA only list 30 or 40MOA downslope as factory scope mount options... |

I was looking at 1-piece scope mounts and lots are only offered in 20 or 30 MOA. |

MY RANGE REPORT... short version... I have A LOT of work to do at the loading bench and I was not pleased with todays results... BUT... I'm also keeping in mind the fact I only had ONE load to try. This load shoots fantastic out of my DPMS LR-65 and usually comes in under MOA and it's not a shock on occasion when I get in the half-MOA area with it.
All shooting was done 5 rounds slow fire, prone on a mat, bi-pod and rear bag. I was comfortable, in the shade, and the rifle was rock solid. Distance was a measured 100 yards. I swapped scopes around earlier so my initial shooting was getting a different rifle back to zero, which I then shot a 1/2 MOA group... so in essence, I was on today, no excuses from me as the shooter. I fired 5 rounds, quick cleaned with Butch's Bore Shine, dry swabbed and did that for a total of three times. After that, I just started shooting. Total rounds fired today was 44. No mag, feed, or ejection issues. I mounted a Leupold MK IV 4.5-14x50 with Illuminated TMR, TPS rings and a YHM riser. The mounts/rings/and riser are solid and there is no issues there I'm sure. Ammo was once fired Hornady brass, FL sized and trimmed. 140gr Hornady A-Max with 39.0 grs IMR 4007SSC with the COAL set at 2.80" which just does fit the magazine. THE RIFLE... I added a A2 style FS and worked the crush washer down slowly so as to end up with not a lot of stress at the end.  </a>" />
 </a>" />
THE BEST 5-ROUND GROUP... came in at about 1.10" and was the next to last group fired, I figured maybe the barrel was getting fouled and improving perhaps. 
THE WORST 5-ROUND GROUP... came in at a disappointing 1.775" 
Others... @ 1.250" 
@ 1.450" 
@ 1.550" 
EDIT TO ADD- I have a couple pounds of H-4350 and lots of W-760 and IMR 4895 to work with. Anyone have some pet loads they want to share I'd like to see what others are having success with. |

| I would of probably stuck with factory 140 on first round. I bet it's what the rifle was tested with. In fact I have some 140 amax sitting on my desk. But I also plan on running some loads with H4350 and Berger Hybrids. Haven't worked them up yet as I need to measure OAL first. My creedmoor comes tomorrow. Those don't look to impressive. |
| I picked up two of the 6.5s from deguns this morning. Hope to see them beginning of next week. I have a vortex PST 6-24 ffp mrad to use. Will my Burris medium height xtreme tac rings work or do I need to go higher? Appreciate any insight, can't wait to bang some steel. |

If you're talking about the vortex rings by Seekins the 1.26" is really going to be pushing it. The 1.45" is a much better option. I don't believe the vortex branded ones come in that height. The razor line is better for sure, but only you can decide if it's worth the price jump. |

Take that flash suppressor off and try again. That's a consideration, I've experimented some with FS's on rifles and have NEVER had a noticed accuracy decrease... with both QD FS and brake using a can, I've seen marked improvement in accuracy. I realize there are no absolutes when it comes to whether or not a FS effects accuracy as you will finds folks whose experiences vary... BUT... if the next go does not see improvement, then that will be the next step. Of course if cranking down on a FS I could see it having adverse effects... I slowly crushed the washer down on this install so as to avoid additional stress at the muzzle. Agree on the H4350, I have about 2 1/2 pounds to work with. I'm not all too worried as to whether the rifle will shoot at/under MOA as IMR 4007SSC isn't even made any more... while it seems to work great in my LR-65, I'm not surprised at yesterday's results. |

I'm heading back later today with some 140 A-Max with H4350 and some Sierra 140 Spitzer BT's... don't expect great things there (Sierra) either just a opportunity to shoot some more and get some fire formed brass... will take necessary items to remove FS and do some testing there as well. |

RANGE REPORT #2
Same conditions as yesterday, prone with bi-pod and rear bag. Comfortable in the shade and all shots taken felt great except one. FS was removed, made no difference. I tried 42.0 and 43.0 H4350 with the 140 A-Max bullets and it appears my rifle simply does not like them. I tried some older Sierra 140gr Spitzer BT's with 41.0 H4350 and the rifle really liked them... while I've had good accuracy in the past with a "hunting bullet", I must say I was pleased with the results. I have some 130gr Berger Hybrids, some SMK's, and more A-Max coming but I'm going to regulate the A-Max bullets to my LR-65 for now. The results of the 140gr A-Max with 39.0grs IMR 4007SSC w/o FS... 
The 140 A-Max with 42.0 and 43.0 grs H4350... 
First go with the Sierra SPBT's... @ 0.800" 
Last group of the day, with the Sierra SPBT's... by shot 4 I could see a good thing happening, on the last shot I started to lose that "good" shooting position/feeling and should have stopped... but it went just high and right, still a great group, don't know if it made a difference or not. This went @ 0.700"

I've seen plenty of folks suggesting the same 41.0 to 43.0 range as being effective in the 6.5CM... perhaps it is, but with the 140gr A-Max for now... I'm not seeing it yet in my rifle. Won't hurt to back down to 38.0 to 39.0 next time around though... |

For those that have them, how is weight and balance with optic and mag? Is it comparable to a traditional precision bolt rifle or is the center of balance closer to the magwell?
I'm guessing 14-15 lbs loaded and scope, but is it balanced enough for offhand and easy position shooting and carrying for hunting? |

Wouldn't a lighter charge of 41.3-41.8gr H4350 be more appropriate for the 6.5cm as a starting point/sweet spot for its case capacity?

Won't hurt to back down to 38.0 to 39.0 next time around though... You'll be hard pressed to find a great node by jumping 1gr between charges. Hornady suggests 41.5gr, which is what I've seen used in 2 Savage 12 LRP's. The load shot fantastic in both rifles. Since you've established that it isn't over pressure based on your earlier tests, you may be able to tighten it up by trying +/- .2grs from the hornady suggested data. It may help, but each rifle is different. Just a suggestion before you give up on the Amax. |
