Need a BCG for 6.5 Creedmoor

[RAM2940]

Getting ready to purchase a BCG for 6.5 Cr.  and wanted opinions on what carriers are reliable.  I was looking at the Toolcraft double ejector, with smaller firing pin, is this a good choice. I have a Wilson Combat barrel with Aero M5E1 Upper.

Toolcraft is never, ever a bad choice.  Since the demise of the commercially-available DWilson BCGs a few years ago, the Toolcraft is about the only thing I go with now.

I am looking for one of these for my 6.5 Creedmoor project. Is $180 from Arm or Ally a reasonable price from a decent vendor, or should I look elsewhere? Suggestions? Thank you!

I can't say if the price is good, but I ordered a BCG from them for a prior build and had no issues with Arm or Ally.

Thanks for the input, Doc. I went to order after reading your comment, and they were sold out... Go figure... Anyone else know where they are available? If so, tell me in a PM, so it doesn't get poached again... I was thinking of the nickle boron one...

That's where I ordered my Toolcraft BCG from,  the 308, 6.5 and 260 are all the same BCGs.  Bag had all 3 calibers written on it. Read the description for the 3 BCGs, and I also emailed and confirmed with them.

Arm or Ally used to be a different name - they changed the name to Arm or Ally when they started branching out into hard parts.  I'd shopped with them before the change, when they were primarily reloading supplies, and they are SOLID.  Great company.  Don't hesitate to do business with them - they are very good.

Butch in customer service is very helpful. Good thing I like ramen...

Previously, they were Monmouth Reloading - and they kicked ass at what they did.  They still do kick ass - they just offer more now, with the addition of hard parts as well as reloading supplies.  They're a damn great company, brother.

A few places I shopped ir BCG made it clear I needed a high pressure bolt with a small strong firing pin for me 6.5 creedmoor build. I went with the Ni-Boron from aero precision as they seemed like a reputable company. Lol, they probably dont even make the carriers but put their name on it

ToolCraft makes the Aero BCGs.  I kid you not. Not even a little.  Truth.
