..got it from a guy on 6mmBR a few weeks ago..$400 for the

barrel, gas block, gas tube

275 pieces of brass + 50 loaded with Barnes 62 gr. VGs

Forster FL Sizer and Micrometer Seater

(2) 6.8SPC 10 round Mags

I am the 3rd owner

Original owner stated it is one of the first 6PDK chambered by John Holliger [WOA]

20" Krieger

so far, about 375 rounds TOTAL down the barrel...

I re-sighted with my new Vortex PST 2.5-10x44mm Scope last night...

5 shots into 0.334" at 100 yards [one elongated hole] = SCARY huh?...well at least for them groundhogs!!


I know if I would have "slowed" down between shots...the group would have been tighter.....!!!

interesting...that is respectable for 20"tube! Might have to look into that round. Im trying to find something in ar15 platform that will throw 75gr @ around 3300fps. 24in tube might get real close
 
..indeed, the ballistics are a little better than a 6WOA..not sure as compared to the 6x68

..water capacity on my SSA 20PDK cases are 34.8 grains.
