The Official 2019 TBH APR Special Thread!

[raiderholic]

Anyone with an apr 6.5 Creedmoor that can tell me what the bottom of bullet to ogive measurement is for 140 eldm bullet is.

I ordered mine about lunchtime on Friday and the guy I talked to said they had at least 80 tbh orders and counting. This was a great deal. Thanks APR!

Looks like Mesa is offering that cerakote color to the public now. Dang it looks good.

What’s y’all’s thoughts on this?




I chose not to get a brake on my 6.5 PRC build but I’m thinking I would rather have one and take it off and screw on the thread protector if needed. My thought is range time use the brake and hunting without it. My question is how much would it change the point of impact and what would y’all suggest with or without?


I would rather have it match color wise and never use it than get something later.

I have one from last year and can give CBTO for the 143. If you send me a 140 I can measure it. I also have some 147s and would bet the ogive would be the same as the 140.

In reality every chamber is likely a little different plus he's likely burned up a few reamers since mine was built.

If you're wanting to load some ammo ahead of getting the rifle, just load them long and bump them to the final deminsion once you receive the rifle.

Yes please give me with the 143. I will remeasure mine with the 143. I keep getting way different numbers when measuring. I think my case for measuring must be too thick and bullet gets tight pushing through or something. I have measured several times and never got the same reading. Would appreciate it.

You can put the Hellfire break on and off yourself easily. YouTube it. I chose 6.5PRC Tier 1 also and Robert said I would need a break to spot hits/misses with this combination. You could get it and shoot. Then take the brake off and shoot again to see how it changes point of impact.

This is the same setup I went with, also. I plan on running the 419 brake until I get a can for it.

I'm back! Sounds like there was a final rush at the last minute. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's TBH special. I'll try to get a tally and some stats posted on caliber choices tomorrow.

Good deal!

Will you be around the shop on Thursday probably around lunch, maybe a little after? I'm coming to Ft. Worth for a funeral and would love to come by and see the place, meet you, and have a look at some of the items your using for the build. If my Christensen that y'all are bedding is ready I could pick it up to save the shipping as well, if not no worries.

Just stating fact

Robert is one fine Man !!!!!

looking forward to my 300 PRC next year's build

This sounds like it could turn into a good contest!

I am thinking the 6.5 prc will be in first place with a total of 65% of orders.
