Justification for SPR

[Jlong51454]

For some reason I have got a hankering to build an SPR. I have a fairly accurate bolt action in 223 that is capable of SPR distances. The only downside, if you would call it that, is the internal magazine is kind of a PITA to load. I also have a 6arc with 24 inch barrel if I want to reach out to 1k+. I am trying to justify the money spent on the components to build this thing. What say yall?

You're asking a gun forum should you get another gun???????

Heck yes. Get it.

If you're looking for justification you are doing it wrong.

Hate to bust your bubble, but if you got an itch, it ain't gonna go away 'til you scratch it.

Could you throw a few more abbreviations or contractions into your posts?? I mean I almost understand what you are talking about........

Maybe an anagram or two.

Penicillin usually works

If you have the funds... Go for it.

If you do not, which I don't think is the case given you state you have a "6arc", then I say go for it.

Make it a cloner build, though.

 

[grillak]

you always have funding for more guns

miss a few mortgage/car payments

sell some plasma/blood

bare knuckle basement brawls

sell a few kids...if you don't have any...sell your neighbor's kids

SPR = Special Purpose Rifle

6arc = 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge)
1k+ = more than 1000 yards

I built the 6arc. What comercial built uppers were going for was nucking futs. Plus I already had some bits and pieces for it.

The trick is to feed it.

Odd we call it Y’all but we are in Tennessee so there is that.

True, I reload. That is the ony way I could afford to shoot that cartridge. I reformed brass from 6.5 grendel. The off the shelf ammo is ridiculous.

Have you tried running lighter projectiles (55-70)? I understand it's more of a long range caliber, but I am interested in it for hunting coyotes at night. I want something fast and flat.

Nothing quite that light. I may have to just to satisfy both our curiosities. Mine has a 1:7 twist, so I'm not sure that light will pattern. I will dig into the book and report back.

I'll donate some projectiles for the cause.

Building SPRs at Crane since early GWOT, now building them in Owen County.

Had Kevin make a Mk12 Mod H for nephew's wedding, bought another and am now on the waiting list for a AE suppressor.

The lightist I had was 75 grain v max. Loaded them with 28.2 of h335 with oal of 2.102. I only had 8 of them so I will see. Thats very kind of you, let me see what my homebrew turns out and I may take you up on that.

I've got some 55 and 70 grain that I use in my 6mm creedmoor. The 55 grains are moving at 4100 fps out of my 12 twist barrel with 46.5 grains of powder. It's a laser, but it's kind of heavy to carry with my tripod, heavy scope, caller, etc...
