    [QUOTE=Wingman;1008235]More down time has me tinkering again.. I got thinking.. I run a 223 rem with a 69gr TMK at 3100fps, a .22 TCM with a 40gr Vmax at 3100 fps, a 6x45 with a 75gr Sierra HP at 3000fps, what might a 6mm TCM run with a 55gr Nosler BT?

    My 6x47 rem will run a 55 gr at 3500 fps, don't think there is much difference, in case capacity between the 6x47 Remington and 6TCU. i had better accuracy with the 58gr v-max and 50fps slower.

    Yip I was pondering the tiny 6mm TCM not the 6mm TCU though

    Well the other week Wingman worked his magic on my work project
    What he received was a lefthand Zastava with a so-so 223 barrel and an as-new 243 savage lightweight barrel,
    What I got back was a 18.5" 6x45
    This left me to give the stock a reshape to better suit me which led to this -

    After a balls up of some brass and a failed testing earlier in the week I received some solid advise from Wingman.
    This led me to prep from scratch followed by a real test today leading to this final 4 shot group for the day at 75m (longest distance I could set up out of the wind).

    Thanks Wingman

    That stock came up nice!
    That group should tighten up with a bit more velocity and a few more rounds to run the barrel in.
    Im going to re-do my chamber with this new zero freebore reamer too, It will give a few more options for projectiles without the big jump from the short seating to fit the mag.

    Well I learnt you must buy your rifle from the Local H&F raather than the local custom builder if you want something that a) works the way it should and b) actually has back up and support

    Thanks @Micky Duck I better make sure I only keep sharing what I want you to see then.. ��

    I had a play with my lego rifle today, re-cut the chamber with the new zero freebore reamer.

    Took it out with the favored 75gr Sierra HP loads which shoot around 3000fps and shot two 3 shot grouos and two 5 shot groups, it didnt disappoint.
    There was a light wind and it was the first time Ive shot groups on paper since March but they were all under 1/2MOA with one at 1/4MOA.
    It will be interesting to see if I can get some of the other projectiles in the 70-85gr weight range to shoot better than they did with the longer jump to lands.

    Well I just got my 6x45 back from Gunworks so here's another shoutout for such a fine job!

    My 6x45 has a rather shiny barrel to it and on a sunny day you really do need to wear sunglasses because of the shine on the barrel.







    So I've been humming and harring about it and finally sent it off to Gunworks for a Jenny Craig weight loss with some fluting and getting rid of the 'super bling' with a good old sand blast to dull that barrel!

    I'm stoked with the turn around and I'm super stoked with the work done!!!















    I did weigh the rifle before it left for Gunworks but in all honesty I don't trust those scales and I suppose anyone going on a weight loss program would say those scales are lying!

    What i do know is the rifle is noticeably lighter but also better balanced both when carrying in your hands and shouldering to use.
