Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor

[Robinhood]

Y’all should post some pictures of targets that show significant improvements on paper from shortening the protrusion. I’m on the other side of the tracks and taken my Savage just short of a world record with around .060 protrusion and never bushed a bolt.

I don't think too long of protrusion will hurt accuracy. There is no reason to intentionally set it that long however. All it does is shorten the firing pin travel. Setting it shorter optimizes things. However in general you are correct. It is not something to worry about if it is shooting well and not causing an issue.

Yeah I would agree that pin fall is more important then protrusion, i thought it was an interesting topic and maybe I just got lucky. IDK.. I have since moved on to a Bat B dual port action.

Can’t do much better than the Bat B. What trigger did You go with, and what setting ?
