    SAUM vs WSM

    7WSM has more boiler room, a bit more speed (50-100fps depening on barrel length powder etc). 7SAUM is eaiser on seating depth when you use magazines. I have some 7mm barrels that were shot with the 7-270WSM as my F-Class rifle, and am considering rechambering to SAUM to live out it's...

    New 6.5 cartridge?

    Kurt, same still applies to 6.5 vs 7 even if you shoot a shorter barrel. Anything the 6.5 can do, the 7 can do better and last longer. Smaller bore + same powder volume = more wear. A 6.5WSM/SAUM will have a shorter life than a 7WSM/SAUM, yet have weaker ballistics due to the 7mm BC advantage...

    Which group would you take?

    3 shot groups mean nothing when you still have two out. A single group also does not mean anything, could be just you having a good moment of statistics running in your favor for a change. Try several sessions with the same load and then look at the average group sizes.

    Bipod issue

    The bipopd is made to fit a wide variety of stocks, it will not fit perfectly on most rifles, but it's not meant to.

    Who's the dirty BASTARD that turned my scope down over 4MOA last time I shot?

    Look at the friggin turrets before you shoot. ;)

    Is an 8 twist too slow for 140 grain bullets?

    I shot nothing but 1:8 on my 6.5-284, 139gr scenars at 3100-3150fps and no issues at all.

    Practical Rifle project

    Update: The 6.5x47 will be replaced by a 6x47. Sold all my 6.5mm gear (bullets, dies etc) lately and decided to go with the 6x47. I've been testing it on my short-range F-Class rifle and am really enjoying this cartridge; very good accuracy, great ballistics and almost no recoil. I'm shooting...

    @J: Everything's for sale at the right price ;) nightforce: Ofcourse it will be a folder. Why not the KMW... The sentinel is inlet for the round Surgeon 591 and the action I am using is octagonal action with a long-action length body, but short action mag system. The entire stock will have to...

    Practical Rifle project

    Dual purpose: 95% of the time the rifle will be used for 100-500y shooting, hence my choice for the 6.5x47 (which I have already shot on two other rifles and am tooled up for). A couple of times each year I go to shoot ELR (1500-2400y) with my 375 SnipeTac and would like a companion rifle for...

    Latest 6.5 wildcat

    More powder means less barrel life, it's as simple as that. If you want to push a 140 to 3100fps and use 54gr of powder vs 2800 and 46gr, you're barrel will wear more. I love my 6.5-284, it's accurate, recoil is mild. But it's overkill inside 500y IMHO. If you can't read the wind, not even e...

    Latest 6.5 wildcat

    It's like whiskey, it needs a few years to start getting good ;) Simulating them in QL, 6.5x47 vs 6.5 SLR, and using H4350 I get 2800fps for both at 55kpsi (26" and 139 scenars). The 6.5x47 can take more pressure (63k vs 60k of the 243Win) and has a small primer meaning it will not blow...

    Stock update: I mailed with Kyle from XLR industries yesterday if it would be at all possible to make a carbon HD for this action and to my surprise the answer was "yes". So the 3LL is headed over yonder to measure up. Thanks a million Kyle!!! Perhaps just leave the KMW unmangled for a future...

    7mm wsm saum 284 winchester HELP!

    That will be pushing the rim on the boattail through the neck/shoulder junction. On the Lapua cases that will give massive seating pressure. Would not recommend it. 2.965 is the max length on the Alpha WSM mags, that's pushing it on the 7-270WSM but just fine on the SAUM.
