    All Things AXMC

    mine feeds fine from the 300WM mags. I do use a nice long 150gr Sierra bullet though.

    AI AXMC what unusual callibers do you have?

    I have a 6.5PRC that feeds fine from the 300WM mags, Im going to try a 7 SAUM too ...if the PRC works, why wouldn't the SAUM :)

    AXMC buying options question

    Another thought..I know you wanted 300NM, but AI was involved with the development of the 300PRC, which is a more modern version of the 300WM, and slightly faster too. Same bolt as 300WM. Maybe buy the WM version, sell barrel, get custom 300PRC barrel? Not much difference between PRC and NM out...

    Where can i find 300 norma improved dies?

    Hi - i was thinking the same thing a few months ago.... i suspect that because the "improved" version of anything is not standardized, you wont find dies on the shelf. you will likely have to send fired cases to Whidden / whomever and custom make a die.

    7 SAUM Shooters- Action Length Question

    I can get 3000 fps from long action, 30" barrel, with long freebore, and 63 gr of H1000 under a 180 hybrid. And I have gone as high as 3050 fps with 65gr. Definitely recommend long action.

    new cartridge development

    Interested to find out more about the 300 LRC... seems to be based upon a shortened 338 Lapua case... What kind powder loads / velocities are you seeing there? I suppose a bit more spunk than the 300 WSM?

    300 Norma Mag

    maybe case growth? if the brass is substantially longer after the 1st 2 firings (you say 0.012"), it could "pinch" the bullet in the lead area of the chamber, thereby causing pressure?

    300 Norma Mag

    using virgin peterson brass on day 1, then reloading it for the next day's shooting? Fire-formed brass will act differently than virgin. My peterson brass is also quite short at the shoulder (i.e. "headspace" measurement) when new.

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    i recently did a ladder test with the 230 and 215, and my findings were that i could push the 215 only 50fps faster than the 230. Which is about what you need for them to return similar windage results at 2000 yards anyway. So I'll shoot the 215's until throat erosion produces too much jump, and...

    Help buying an AI AXMC Please...

    Hi - i just did that exact same thing... sold a bunch of custom rifles, now just have AXMC. You will not regret it, and you will wonder why you did not do this years ago... a couple things i will point out: - the AXMC is first and foremost a military spec rifle. That means it is built to work...

    Range Report 6mm & Slow Powders

    interesting - i'm using a short - throated 6 Creedmoor, 44.5gr of H1000 and that gets me to 2930fps with a 115 DTAC, out of a 26" barrel. Using Alpha brass. I think the combo of short throat, thick brass, all reduce the volume inside the cartridge, thereby raising pressures, and giving me speed...

    6.5 mm brake on 6mm rifle

    i always use a break that is 1 size larger than i need (i.e. use a 6.5mm on a 6mm, or a 30cal on a 7mm) as i am paranoid about carbon build up in the break slowly closing diameter of the exit hole.

    300 Norma Improved shoulder angle?

    Question for you experienced wildcatters... I have a AI AXMC in regular 300NM, but i want to step up to an improved version. However I want to make sure that the reamer is an exact match to the dies.... do you know of a place that will supply dies with dimensions matched to a reamer? Where...
