I run a 18 6.5SST- similar to a 6.5PRC but slightly shorter to suit a short action better. The key is to hand load for short barrels. 147gr ELDM @ 2800fps ...

Just to put things in perspective,a basic new lathe to start barrel work is around 8k. A descent size lathe like the one we use everyday is now very close to 40k. A reamer with its set of gauges is...

Had the bmr, sold it and got a tacsol semi. Nice accurate little rifle. Currently saving up for a left hand 22lr in either tikka tx1 or bergarra b14r

I mean I can't really talk, I have at last count something like 15 different typres of .223 bullets sitting there. The big red stack of 80 ELDMs is pretty hard to mistake though
