Looks good Axe. I have one similar to that. Mine has a TSOB and no brake. I have had good luck with either IMR4320 or Varget powders with various 120 grain bullets.
If you ever shoot it, I am sure you will enjoy it.

I'll go along with a bit of doubt that I'll ever shoot it..  FWIW this one started out originally as a magna ported barrel. The seller did NOT like the magna porting and had the comp made for it. |

I think I started with 2520 in mine but saw too much variation in velocity in cold weather. Ended up settling on Varget in mine and its a tackdriver with all bullets. Gabriel's carbine is scary accurate and basically puts them all in one tiny hole at 100 yrds. Haven't shot groups past that but hitting rocks at 600 is almost too easy from a standing position, that I can tell you . I have found I really like the round. Sold one of my 6.5s but kept the handgun barrel that matched Gabriels carbine with the arrestor brake. Figure he can use them both. From what I can tell so far, the same loads shoot really well in both barrels so he may luck out |

Looks good Axe! "Someone" talked me into buying his spare 6.5 JDJ barrel - said it was a one-holer, even with fire-forming loads... I definitely needed one, with the void between my 257 JDJ and my 6.5/270JDJ in the Encore. Then I have the 6.5 Grendel barrel, and the 6.5x284 XP and the rifles in Grendel and 6.5x284. Yeah, why not another? |

"Nice Guy" may not be the entire truth. Facillitator tells the tale better...

Remind me before my next trip your way. |
