    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I had my initial outing with my 6.5 saum. I loaded 61.0 grn of h1000, 140 berger target, in brass from copper creek with a cci br2 primer and 2.895 OAL. I was only getting 2980 avg velocity and only Moa accuracy but I had very consistent velocity. I was mainly looking to fireform then brass...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I'm really curious to see if these are going to outlast my .260 barrel. If its even close ill be switching over to the 4s as my primary round, not just a hunting round. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    EH1 or EH4 stock for light weight LR hunter.

    Thanks guys! I have a t5a with mini chassis for my .260. Between the t5 and the Hs precision on my LTR I just sold, I like both the vertical and traditional grip but I don't know how a vertical without a thumb hole would feel. ;) Thanks again for your input it's helping.. Sent from my...

    EH1 or EH4 stock for light weight LR hunter.

    I'm in the process of building a light weight hunting rifle for a CO hunting trip. I have most everything except a stock and can't seem to nail that down. I would greatly appreciate whatever knowledge and opinions you guys can share to help me make my choice. I have a Defiance Hunter action...

    Help me figure out whats causing stuck cases please.

    I need to tap into the knowledge base here and figure out what to check out to see why I've had 2 cases stuck in the past week. I've been reloading for a few years and just getting back into it heavy the past 4-5 months. I've been loading .260 mostly and have done probably 2k of those the...

    Need feedback from y'all with .260 load experience

    Guys I need some info/feedback from y'all on 2 issues I'm having with .260 rifles. First is I'm trying to duplicate a load for my GAP 10 that I use for my bolt gun but with Remington brass vs Lapua. Does anyone know from experience about how much variation in charge i can expect going from...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military

    When I ordered my Mk6 last year it was about 10 days total time. Most of that was UPS ground from Oregon to AL... I think it was 7 days when i looked at the shipping map. They ship fairly quickly if they are in stock

    .260 GAP10 loads?

    Guys I looked and cant find much info here on this with my searches. I just got a 22" .260 upper for my GAP10 and need to load a little for it. I have Lapua brass, 140 AMAX, 42.5 H4350, CCI BR2 loaded in substantial quantity for my bolt action but I'm worried this may be a little hot for a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military

    I hit up my contacts at Leupold, they all were pretty shocked at the increase when they saw it too. I'm speculating either Leupold felt they had a top tier product that needs priced with the top tier scopes or they anticipate a very large .GOV purchase and want to pad their profit margins...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military

    Night force is 5-10% off MSRP which equated to about what some dealers were selling it for, Vortex offers a nice discount too but it also equals just about what you can find it for if you shop around. Leupold is the only one offering a substantial discount that I havent been able to find a...

    Based on what they did to dealer pricing, if military pricing is along the same increase, they will have priced themselves out of a lot of business. They were very competitive quality, feature, and price wise in 2013 but I can't see justifying a couple hundred dollars over last years pricing.

    Subsonic load for .308 Win

    With subsonic loads you want to work down in charge to keep from getting bullet stuck in barrel. I'd keep it where it was and go down in .1 increments.
