Do you have a weight on that sweat looking piece of gear? I do some competitions where weight matters quite a bit.Here is my 6.5cm built by area 419. its a bighorn tl3 action, proof research 22" barrel, manners t6a stock and gen 2 razor. 140gr berger hybrids @2760fps
i think its about 14.5lbs before the gen2 razor which is another couple lbs at least.Do you have a weight on that sweat looking piece of gear? I do some competitions where weight matters quite a bit.

I have one similar. Mine is a Larue Tactical Stealth 2.0.Not sure where this actually belongs as it was built in a DMR roll lol
This was my Compass Lake Engineering CLE chambered 5.56 build that I wanted to shoot out to 1000 with. Seeing guys do it with 5.56 was crazy to me and it really had me hyped up to do something similar when I stumbled across this. Their chamber is super tight compared to NATO & Wylde so bullet selection is key. It was spec’d for 77+ grain bullets and with a 1:7 twist rate it loved it.
Sadly I never got the time to really push myself and travel time killed it for me. Taking a whole day to drive and go somewhere with that distance is hard to do now a days. Maybe sometime in the future.
The definitely have a weird place in my heart, but I just don’t have a real use for them and I feel like shooting at 100 with them is pointless lol That thing is sick though!!I have one similar. Mine is a Larue Tactical Stealth 2.0.
Same thing on the category. Being an 18" AR it's more of a DMR or SPR, but it's the "precision gun" of my AR family.
It loves the Hornady 77 gr TAP, round but I'd never even think of trying to go 1,000 yds with it.
I suck at wind estimates, and even if I was better, all I could do would be ring steel with it.
The 5.56 doesn't have much steam left at that range anyhow. Wouldn't be good for much.
It's not really to extend my range, but to just make more precise shots... at effective AR ranges.

With that barrel and action… I’m curious what kind of groupings it gave youSavage Model 10
308 Win
Shilen Select Match barrel
Magpul stock
Arken SH-4J scope
Just shot it at 100 yards thus far to get it set up. Look forward to seeing how it does out to 500 or 600 yards.

Quick answer, yes that will change your spin drift. It may be YYYUuGE and it may be negligible. Only real way to tell is to shoot ammo you know your previous barrel liked and that you have data for and compare to see the difference with the new barrel. At "extreme flight times", virtually any change in stock, chassis, bedding, barreling, etc will change the flight path and terminal ballisticsI have a ELR question I don’t expect to get answered but it’s worth a shot.
So all the data I’ve collected for spin drift shooting long range rimfire….. if I switch from a 16 twist barrel to a 13 twist barrel…. Will that change affect the data and performance of spin drift at extreme flight times?

Remington 37 .22LR from the 50s. Topped it with an EGW cantilever mount for modern optics. Vortex Diamondback 4-16 FFP. This is the only rifle I own that always seems to outshoot me. Almost embarrassing when I see “flyers” because I know it’s me!
I'd say to enter those specs into a ballistic calculator and see what the difference will be at whatever distance you want to shoot at. I would recommend applied ballistics and if you've got a kestrel just plug the difference in the software and see how big of a difference it makes. It will make a difference, just a matter of how much.I have a ELR question I don’t expect to get answered but it’s worth a shot.
