    6.5 SAUM Drop and data questions

    Well, hate the posts that never get resolved, so anyway, I found my problem. My scope is not making full MOA adjustments. It was pouring at the range, so will reconfirm, but with a 36 moa adjustment, scope moved 36 inches and not the 37.5 inches it should have. velocity was confirmed with a...

    6.5 SAUM Drop and data questions

    Well, as always should have started with the instructions. There is just a wealth of info on the shooters webpage. Many links to other great articles as well. I was able to populate or correct the drops using the velocity correction. It does give proper drops, but it appears to only change...

    6.5 SAUM Drop and data questions

    I'm using G7 data. I just got done putting in both velocity changes and bc changes. It took a ton to get things to align. I'll recheck a zero this week too. For what it's worth. First outing with a 250 zero had me pretty close. Or closer. Buddy has a different crony to try too...

    First post, need some help choosing a barrel

    I'll add krieger to your list. Other than that pretty well rounded I'm curious though. What kind of comp?? If you are limited to that ammo, them what do the other folks get to shoot? Bolt 223's? Sorry for the ignorance, just the next step would be to hand load. IMO. Shooting...

    AI mark III 308, can it go to 6.5 saum

    Just throwing this out. Not familiar with the action in question. But Built a 375 ruger on a rem 700 that started as a 270. Smith just opened the bolt face. Which did screw up extractor. Fix was just to install a badger extractor. 500 rounds or so through the gun. No issues. Opening...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    As long as we are talking reloading (I have the neck turn chamber) , I also have went to a .292 bushing, getting a bit better accuracy, and per my calcs still running 1.5 thou on my neck tension, which is working just fine. I shot it in one round of F-Class over the weekend at 600, its the...

    First long range gun; Remington 700 build

    To follow-up, you have been given good advice, even if you think my tone was off, was meant to be a little. My comment on the short vs long is more to the research part. Just tons of info on this site and others regarding your very question. I'd start reading up on it. You have more patience...

    First long range gun; Remington 700 build

    Confused on your gun smithing line item? I would not spend a dime on anything other than putting a brake on. I guess why would you true a factory action just to screw the factory tube back on?? I'd just buy and shoot. Unless you are recoil sensitive I wouldn't even bother with the brake...

    Remington 700 build

    I'd absolutely have one built. It looks like the 5r is around 1200? For that you can buy an doner 700 and have a top tier barrel installed. You would have to add the stock. I'm just guessing 300 more to build? Even if it was 500 it would be worth it to me over a factory tube and non...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Coming from having a 7saum,,,, I'm saying no. But, if I want more energy, I have other rifles.... I've only put 100 or so downrange with the 6.5, and its easily my favorite rifle, right now. Perfect deer, sheep, antelope,,,and some folks elk, rifle. It will be without a doubt my go to...

    6.5x284 with h1000 vs 6.5saum

    Well, I was in the OP shoes and had dies and brass for the 7saum. I'm happy with the 3190 with the 130 in the 6.5saum. But it's a hunting rifle Time will tell with barrel life but no pressure signs either with this load. You mention comps. With a bit fatter wallet I'd play with a...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    This is just food for thought. I had a problem 7saum. Turns out the headspace was a bit too long. So running the ragged edge I'd get sporadic pressures issues making sure I used some brake cleaner in the chamber and my rounds were somewhat clean of lube solved a bunch of it. I'll...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    I've heard about 5 versions of this "We don't ship to alaska, we only ship to the United states" After about a 2 hour raft trip. One of the ladies asks me in all seriousness, is this where we started?

    Hunting & Fishing Caribou Hunt?

    I'd steer clear of a rifle hunt off the haul road. Look at the regs rifle hunters need to be 5 miles off road. Not a fun undertaking in that terrain. There are a few outfits that that fly you into bush from the road system. A Google search will give you the basics.

    Do you remove muzzle brake during cleaning?

    When I clean any rifle. Muzzle is wet. Dripping depending on the cleaner. I'm guessing a high ammonia solvent. And it sat in the muzzle. How do you clean without it off. Just my 2c Sorry for multiple posts. Working on a spotty wifii

    Do you remove muzzle brake during cleaning?

    This is just me but my brakes come off when I clean I want to make sure I clean threads and the crown I'll clean the brake separately I'm sure others may have their ways but I think it's a no brainer.
