Here are some of the specs on Ryans build:

- Forster 6.5 Creedmoor headspace gauges https://northlandshooterssupply.com/headspace-gauges/
Here is what Ryan had to say about his build:
Figured I’d send my rifle pictures your way, running a shouldered Criterion 26″ heavy palma in 6.5 Creedmoor. The barrel is a hammer! The recipe has been handed down for generations, 41 grains of H4350 and a 140 ELD, hahaha!!! It shoots those groups on repeat. It likes the 140 Berger’s too, but the 144 shot like crap(or I did). No idea why.
Paint was done by me with some stencils and Aluma-Hyde. Going for a desert GAP look.
