    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I have been using the 150 matrix out to 1553 yards in a 6.5-06 and came up with a G1 of .645 using a kestrel with Horus. These are apparently similar to 140 Berger hunting vld's in regards to hunting performance where as the 160's have a slightly thicker jacket but I'm sure there will be some...

    Anybody got any info on 6.5-06?

    I have two. 8.5 twist 24 inch runs 140 bergers just under 3000fps. Its generally better to neck up 25-06 brass. I use h-1000

    Best short action cartridge for long range precision shooting

    Exactly what this fellow above said. Learn on a .308 and go from there

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    I had a 260 lrp and it was great. For a factory rifle I'm not sure if you can beat it for the price and the trigger is fantastic. If your looking for a heavier rifle with a detachable mag give it a try, if it's not what your after you'll only lose a few hundred bucks flipping it. IIRC there was...

    **Benchmark Barrels muzzle brake reveiw** with pics

    Thanks for the write up, I have been checking out these brakes myself. Have you had the tactical styles on and off enough to notice if the amount of torque you put on the set screw changes impact point much?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    What's the general consensus on when to anneal? Prior to necking down? After necking down? Or after the initial firing?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I use the hybrids in a .308 and was very surprised at how much jump they liked. Nothing like loading vld's. My best accuracy was actually at .1 inch jump which is considerably further than I ever seat vld's in multiple rifles. Is your action a remington by chance? I find they leave signs on...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Great thanks. From what I have gathered the 130's are about 2.9 and the 140's are about 2.95. Anyone have any pics with a 140 Berger in a t-3 mag? In the past I have modified a 223 t-3 mag for the 80 grain Bergers and although it did work most of the time there was a tendency for the rounds to...

    6.5-06 twist rate?

    I shot 140'sbergers out of a 8.5 twist at sea level. I think you could get away with 130's. Check the Berger website for twist rates

    7mm Rem Mag reamer option pros/cons?

    I believe you would be correct in assuming that there would be more jump with lighter than 180's but that would be dependent on the ogive really as all factory stuff will be loaded to the same overall length. A call to the smith would confirm that though. It's hard for me to guess how the 168's...

    7mm Rem Mag reamer option pros/cons?

    I'm not sure there is an easy pick since you're not going to reload right away. I use min spec reamers with separate throating dies so I can set the distance to the lands myself. I like to be able to have the bullet still in the neck of the cartridge when it touches the lands. I have found...

    308 bullet choice

    I'm kinda surprised there's no love for the Berger 168 hybrid targets. I get accuracy of almost .5 Moa at 2620 fps out of a 12 twist 26 inch shilen using varget and federal 210's and lapua brass. They are stable past 1000 yards. I believe I had about 42 minutes dialed for 1112 yard with a 100 yd...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Getting off topic but check out how bad a sako extractor can fail in a rem action. They were not designed for it and it weakens the strength of the design.

    My new 6.5 build

    I think you'll hit 3100 fairly easy. I run a 6.5-06 with a 24 inch tube and H1000 gets my 140 Bergers to 2990ish without pressure signs. I would guess you would get 20-30 fps per inch of barrel over my 24 inch tube and probably another 2-4% on top of that with the improved case? I tried a few...

    I cant get a responce from Alpha Mags

    I inquired twice about ordering some mags and never did get a response from two different types of communication. Seems like I was not alone

    SOB ! Chargemaster is f'd up.

    I found Rcbs awesome to deal with. I'm in Canada and when I called and told them this they said the shipping and any border issues was not worth the hassle. So they told me to smash it with a hammer. I asked to speak to someone else..... Again they said they were not kidding and to smash it...
