I remember around year or two ago the 6.5 grendel was getting big. But stopped hearing about itandmore about the 6.5 Creedmor. Im guessing they are practically the same

I've inletted the stock and polished the trigger. I'm running out of things to do until Santa brings me scope money. Should I polish the bolt and remove the machining grooves?
I'm looking at a brake before I've ever fired the first shot out of mine. I believe it's a 5/8"-24. Is that correct?

When I did the Rockite, I also added a short piece of pic rain to the bottom of the forearm for my QD bipod.
I also polished up the bolt by simply working the fire out of it after slathering it with JB Bore compound. Goes without saying that a thorough cleaning is in order after.

I have read about a few people using Rockite. I couldn't find it but it did find Bondo Glass. I didn't prep the surface well (at all) and the little blocks came out like ice cubes while I was sanding.
I like the product because it's got fiberglass in it and it gets super hard. Not sure how to make it stick.
Any ideas?

One thing that might help is to fill the stock a little higher than each "cubed" section so the rockite or bondo acts as one unit rather than a bunch of small square units. I used rockite and found it on amazon for about $12.

Take an 1/8" drill and punch holes through all the verticals and dimple the inside of the stock itself. The rockite is self leveling and filling. Punch the holes, level the stock in a vise then pour it in. Consistency of pancake batter. Any Ace or similar hardware store should have the rockite. Lowe's did not that I could find. I got it at Lake Hardware in Angleton.

I thought about that but didn't do it. I will try it with the next batch.

The second attempt was a success. I used my stippling tool to make a lot of ridges in the inside of the stock. It's solid now.
