264LBC Max OAL and Accuracy Comparison

[NugginFutz]

Good to know, ros, and I would have probably done so, if I hadn't purchased the Sinclair tool, already. I already have fired cases for each caliber I care to find COAL for, and it works with all my bolt and gas guns.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party and I don't post much but few thoughts I've had. These are just my opinion so you know what they say about opinion's.

I have been around on this site, the 6.8 forum, and AR15 which these were both born out of back in 07, or was it 06, any who, so I remember all the real ugly stuff that this cartridge has endured. Those that were around will agree the rhetoric has died down drastically, but....

If the OP wants to collect data for a argument on another site for factual information, awesome. But my suggestion is wouldn't it be prudent for us to not bring the flame war links here. If someone wants to provide links in PM's cool, but not in open chat. It really sucks trying to turn friends on to this cartridge and site when this kinda stuff keeps cropping up. It makes us look like a bunch of kids. It also bring up doubt as to do I want to stray away from the good ol tried and trued mil spec 5.56. Myself, I own products from both manufacturing bodies in question but almost didn't own either because of all the static. It's like this on every single forum that certain people post on. You guys need to go get a padded room together and I don't know, kiss and make up, fight to the death, something!!!! It hurts the 6.5 and the sites reputation. Look no further then just some of the replies here in this very thread.

Ever thought of when the thread is going south to go private chat with the offending party to try and both come to some sort of agreement? I know your gonna say you don't care and it's not worth your time, but seriously. Have you guys seen how much time you have in your post replies? Just look at the nature of this very thread. If the offending party is gonna be pig headed then don't feed the conversation. Turn the OP on to this site to continue a constructive conversation.

I know this was brought up in another thread, but it fits with the spirit this thread. I think we should be supportive of ALL 6.5 Grendel variants and wildcats. After all is this not suppose to be the definitive source for the 6.5? Grendel II, Grendel I, .264LBC, whatever.... they are all good tools if fitted to the application properly. We need to be the go to source for people looking to get into this awesome round. The more it's out there the more it will spread and grow. The more manufactures see demand the more attention it will get. Lapua could careless if it's going to be a .264LBC, but they do notice if someone is buying the brass. Walmart doesn't care what barrel manufacture it comes out of, they do care how many people ask for it.

I have worked as a professional auto tech for Mercedes-Benz for almost fifteen years now. I must have twenty different phillips head screw drivers. Do they all do the same thing, yes, but sometimes you want the one that does the best in a specific application. Guns are no different, their tools. Some people say well the SAMMI chamber is the best cause it does X Y Z for them. Wouldn't it be better if my intentions were say, varmint hunting with Hornady 95 VMax's, to direct me to a 6.5 chamber that would maximize my efficiency in that application. Cause the response I see over and over again is...but "the SAMMI chamber is the most accurate for the widest range of bullets". Back to what my original hypothetical question was. Did I ever say I wanted a do it all barrel or a specific application? I say this cause this is one area I think as a 6.5 Grendel community we fall short on. It makes us seem very one sided and not giving the best information to the person asking.

Ok wall of text out. Feel free to tell me to stick it if need be.

DRandi, no one is going to tell you to stick it LOL. You are just thinking like an adult, but I have to say there have been times a certain former member needed a punch in the mouth. That is called the child's response. I'm a work in progress.

I tend to just measure the distance to the lands and subtract 0.010 or so if I can hit it with the maagzine lenght. If not I just go long. Accuracy seems pretty good in my basic 264 LBC from Black Hole with groups that have trouble going above 1 MOA.

I need to start shooting the other varaiants also as I've been tied up with the American 30 on the 6.8 case the past few months. I'll post them up as they come. The 20 will be getting a work out and since I have same same barrels in the 6.8 versions it might be a real interesting shoot out.
