    7/300 saum dies?

    If you're going the 6.5 4S route, I got my dies from Josh at: Copper Creek Cartridge Co. They also sell converted brass for the 6.5 4S 300 SAUM brass is popping up now on various sites. You'll have to convert it to your needs. Best bet is to put your email in the notification lists on various...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    If you're asking the difference between converting 300 SAUM vs 7mm SAUM into 6.5 SAUM - then the main difference is having to size the 300 down in three stages or so. 10 to 15 thousands at a time. And the end results leave the brass a little short in OAL. So you may not have to cut it to length...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    Hi IanB, Sized the 300 SAUM brass down from .338ish to .325 to .310 to .295. (not sure those are the perfect bushings to use, but they were the ones I could find that I thought would do it.) Ran the brass through 3/8" Expander Die Body and mandrel. Moly coated the necks then turned them down to...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    Could someone give me a thumbs up or down. I've never turned brass before so this is my first attempt. 300 SAUM brass. Sized down in three stages. Turned to correct specs, but am wondering if I went too far into the shoulder. Figured I better ask before I screw up too many pieces -...

    Has anyone tried both LR and LRM primers? And did you find any difference in accuracy or velocity?

    George, How does the glass compare in the Bushnell vs the March scope you were using on your other gun? I know they are different price points, but would appreciate an opinion.

    Hunting & Fishing 2nd Annual 307 Speed Goat Hunt ... 6.5 SAUM Style

    I'd appreciate some info on this as well. I know you were using the 130 hunting VLDs, were those pointed - and did they perform well? Wound channel observations would be helpful.

    Hunting & Fishing 2nd Annual 307 Speed Goat Hunt ... 6.5 SAUM Style

    George at 1268 yards, 1st round hit. 6.5 SAUM Xtreme Hunter Love that pic - pure joy, like a kid in a candy shop! Hope to have my 6.5 SAUM all put together and learned before next hunting season. These pics are making me less patient :)

    Rifle Scopes Optic help (PLEASE) Trijicon 6x48 or Leupold mark 6 1-6

    The glass on the Mk6 is exceptional. I was worried about that as well, but it is a huge improvement over my Mk4 scopes. I doubt you'd be disappointed with the glass. On 1X the Mk6 has adequate eye relief, but you really need to manage recoil well to keep the picture full and clean. Nothing...

    Rifle Scopes Optic help (PLEASE) Trijicon 6x48 or Leupold mark 6 1-6

    I think you stated the differences quite well in your first post. So it depends on how you want to employ the weapon. The weight of the Trijicon is a deal breaker for me. I put a Mk6 1x6 on my 16" LWRC REPR and am pleased. So far it's been rock solid. The illumination of the "red-dot" on 1x is a...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Loaded ammo with either the 130 berger VLD or the 140 Berger hybrid is $232.50 per 50 rounds. Prepped brass is also available at $99.99 per 50. The extra brass prep adds up quick. With this round it's good to be rich or not too reload lazy. :)

    Looking To Buy an LWRC From TOP GUN SUPPLY Reputation Comments Please.

    I'm not a warfighter and have never been on a two way range, but I've tested my equipment to the best of my ability with the conditions available to me. I own 1 Noveske, 3 KAC SR15 (one older and 2 E3 Mod 1) and 4 LWRC rifles. My Noveske is the most accurate - modestly so. The KACs are...

    The more people buy into this round the better chance we have of getting brass made - so keep it going.
