    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    When I heard about this project....my first question was, is the windage turret going to lock? Thank you for putting a cap on it, Pat and I have had many a conversation about what a long range hunting scope needs to be, that feature always seems to come up. I honestly think that you guys hit a...

    Hunting & Fishing My Daughters first antelope....

    In Montana they have to take hunters safety and turn 12 during the hunting season. Both of my girls were 11 when they took the class, but have birthdays during the season. I'm glad they changed the rule or both of them would have had to wait another year to hunt.

    Hunting & Fishing My Daughters first antelope....

    Both of my girls drew antelope tags this year, this is Taylor's first big game kill of any kind. We didn't get her 6 Creedmore done in time for this hunt, so she used my .308 instead. One shot @ 410 meters with a 165 Accubond did the trick! I couldn't be more proud, both girls have been...

    what will happen??

    I think that you will be fine switching, but my experience is you will see a slight velocity change. The 215 is going to generate more velocity, at least it does in my 6.5 SAUM.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    That's a 10x42 PMII S&B on Pats, there isn't a side focus parallax knob on it in the photo above, Sendero is using NF, and I'm pretty sure that isn't a March on George's rifle on account of I just got one and it doesn't look like that one.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    My thoughts for what they are worth. While some view turning necks as an extreme pain in the ass, I look at it like this, added brass life in a time when brass is a impossible to get. Sure it sucks, and sure annealing cases is a pain, but not having brass is worse. In my mind turning necks...

    7STW Die/Brass Issue ?

    I had a 7 stw years ago, as I recall they resize hard as hell. Just throwing out an idea here but could it be that they vary some because when the expander comes back up through the neck it is stretching the case just a bit? If one case isn't quite as lubed up as another could it actually...

    Forming 6.5 SAUM From 300 SAUM help

    I've turned 300 saum into 6.5 and I'm neck turning it all the way to the junction. But then my die sizes the neck all the way to the junction as well. I'm curious as to why your not sizing the whole neck?

    Inexpensive Bullet For 30-06 Deer and Elk hunting?

    I have had great success with 165 grain Nosler Accubonds in my .308. Several deer and elk have been relocated to my walk in cooler with it. If memory serves me correctly, the farthest elk to date with that bullet was a cow at 540 meters.

    6.5x284 vs 6.5 SAUM

    That's impressive by any standards. I've shot that rifle and it's a hammer too. Also that is with ordinary Remington brass. The results of this cartridge speak for itself, it's just one of those things that works really good.

    Gunsmithing Jewel trigger issue

    Thanks for the help guys, that indeed was the issue. It seems odd that this happened after moving it to a different rifle, but their is no sign of locktite on any of the screws. That has since been resolved, and everything is back to functioning like a Jewel should.

    Gunsmithing Jewel trigger issue

    So here is what I discovered now, snug one screw the trigger pull probably doubles, put another screw in, the pull goes up even more. When I put the last screw in, the pull goes up so high that you really have to reef on it to make the rifle fire. I haven't played with any of the adjustment...
