Um... Mr. Ccoker... I don’t know how to tell you this, but... um... that’s not a 6.5 Creedmoor... I’m sure it was just an oversight on your part...but...if you don’t mind... you might want to fix it... The THF hive mind doesn’t like rifles that aren’t a 6.5.

I've been playing with some lighter weight bullets, 125 and 150 grain, in the SBR and 16" rifles. I'm really liking these. The problem with short barrels is having a lot of unburned, slow burning powder that's normally used in 308 ammo with heavier bullets. You get about 8%-15% unburned powder in an 11" barrel out of an AR platform. Even a 16" will help with that, and put more of the powder to work with the lighter bullets with a faster burning powder. It's kind of cool!

I am SO, so, so sorry.. I will get it rebarreled, scratch that, run it over in my truck.. it's only the right thing to do Please, I hope you all can reach deep, and find a way (and I know it will be hard) to forgive me. I plead with you..

That’s never gonna work. My Tikka 308 has a 17” barrel. Makes all the difference!
