Re: 6.5 Creedmoor in Lever Action

If they want to chamber the 6.5cm the single shot rifle maybe the best rifle for it. As for the long Ranger they need the 358 win. chambering!

Re: Drilling AR500 plate steel

It's possible you could take a torch and heat the very spot you want to drill until it turns cherry red, then let it cool naturally. Then drill it after it cools. It may soften that spot.

I will be shooting these out of the Henry all steel 18" barrel. I like the idea with the Unique because of the small amount of powder . For hunting I'll like the Barnes just because I have to. The lead free is actually a very good setup, just expensive.I'd go all Hardcast if I could hunt with it.

You did right by going 3/4 ton. A lot of folks beef up the half ton with springs or air bags but it does nothing for the brakes. Plus you have floating rear axle now, a real help. I've had half tons tear up axle seals and leak from overloading.
