The New Dillion RL8000

Taken straight from Dillion’s facebook page.

🚨Meet the Dillon RL8000 – the world’s first AI-powered, voice-activated, coffee-making, self-cleaning reloading press. Engineered with over 8,000 moving parts (all absolutely necessary), the RL8000 doesn’t just reload—it predicts your favorite load data, plays motivational 80s music, and politely asks your spouse for permission before every large primer order! 🤯

7mm PRC

I've seen some rumors swirling on other sites about a new SAAMI standard 7mm PRC cartridge rollout in the near future. Didn't see a thread on the topic here, so I figured I'd start one as a place to collect rumors, news and eventually load data once it's introduced.

I'm interested to hear what folks have heard, but from reading what little is out there, the consensus of rumors seems to be that the 7mm PRC is:
- Another Hornady introduction.
- A long action cartridge ased on a necked down (and maybe shortened a bit) .300 PRC.
- Slated for a fall introduction.
- Possibly similar to or even a straight standardization of the 7mm LRM.
- SAAMI standardized but not yet published.

Not sure who this guy is, but saw on another forum that he claims to have had some conversations with pew pew industry folks on he 7mm PRC (~14:20)

Login to view embedded media

Looking at the new cartridge section of the SAAMI website, it looks like new cartridge publications seem to come out quarterly (mid-Jan, mid-June, mid-Sept, etc) so if the cartridge really is almost ready to launch, maybe we'll see prints come out in June?

I've been planning a new elk rifle for a while, oscillating between 7mm SAUM, .280 AI, and .300 WSM. If this 7mm PRC turns out to be real, and is Intro'd and supported in standard Hornady style, it might be just what I'm looking for.

6 MM GT

I am going to have a 6 mm GT built in the near future I guess a couple of months plus the gunsmith's lead time. Preparing for that "birth" if you will the baby will need feeding. I am at a loss for reloading information and if possible pictures of the grouping. Also having made that decision, I would like to find and information on the cartridge to add to what I already know. Any one please if you have your favorite load(s) and are willing to share I would appreciate it. If you have any articles or write ups on the cartridge I would appreciate getting anything you have to share.
I am just getting into the Precision Rifle discipline. It is really as much an engineering interest as it is a shooting challenge. Love to hear from anyone out there.

Firearms Remington Defense CSR, PSR, & USSS Upper

First up is the Remington Defense CSR in .308 with a 16” barrel. Rifle has approximately 150 rounds through it, the muzzle brake was swapped with a Dead Air brake, and the grip was swapped to a magpul. Rifle comes with everything from the factory, roll up bag, barrel wrench, manual, magazines, Harris bipod, and extra ergo grip.

$27.5k Shipped

——————————————————————

Next is the Remington PSR with factory .338LM barrel with 0 rounds through it and Tooley .300NM barrel with 248 rounds through it. The rifle is factory built, and shows very little wear, it is also within the serial number range of rifles slated to go to SOCOM, but I have no way of confirming if it ever made its way there. The package Includes barrel wrench, pelican case with cut foam, 3 magazines, manual, and a handful of pic rail sections.

$22.5k shipped

——————————————————————

Lastly is my Remington Defense upper that was built for the secret service solicitation. It made it to the final stages of the trials and ultimately lost to the currently used Knights upper.

Only 10 of these uppers were made, 6 of which were sent to the USSS for testing, this is one of the 6. Because of that it shows signs of wear, but is overall very good condition. It features an 11.5” 5.55 medium-heavy profile barrel, aac 90t flash hider for the more modern AAC suppressors, and Nickel Boron BCG.

$1750 $1500 shipped. SOLD

I am open to cash offers, no trades at this time.

2025 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: More 350L, Garmin and Athlon Chronos, Leopold Mark 4HD, BurstFire, Field Optics Research, videos and visits

As with the previous 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 threads, the purpose of this thread is to provide a catalog of this years reviews and articles, give you a behind the scenes look at what I'm working on as I'm working on it, provide a place for input and comments, and, of course, give you something to bookmark that will ping you when a new article is done.

Video Reviews and Company Visits

The biggest change this year is that I will be doing video versions of my reviews along with the written versions. I just finished up the first one and it came out a good deal better than I expected. I even did some shiny video editing on it. To be frank, I still don’t love video as a format. It is very inefficient in data density as well as time consuming to produce and consume for that matter. That being said, lots of people seem to like them for some reason and they clearly monitize better. My intention is to make the videos shorter and lighter weight versions of my articles as I gather shorter videos are a great deal more successful and the constraints of video format are far less friendly to the consumer of informationally dense content than is a well organized article. My current plan is to do short video recaps of each review as I do the review and sprinkle in video recaps of my more recent past reviews as I go along. These will be sit at a table podcast type videos and not the high production value live action stuff Frank often does. I will also be doing some videos of site visits to some of the Ohio precision rifle related companies near me. I have spoken with a number of them about this including Kelbly’s, Short Action Customs, and XTSP. My original plan was to make these live but given YouTubes constraints on live videos I am reconsidering. If you have some questions, or comments you want me to take along with me to these companies, feel free to drop them here. If all goes well and I don’t totally suck at making videos I have a few other folks in the back of my mind for future visits. Probably just who your thinking.

The Precison Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle:

As with last year, the biggest focus this year will be on the PurePrecison / Proof Straight wall 350L project. I knew going into it that it might be challenging to get good performance from the 350L straight wall cartridge rifle and that I would most likely never get it to group like my 6.5CM. The cartridge has that reputation. I want to be able to offer some well researched advice for getting good performance from this type of cartridge though as the relatively new straight wall deer hunting regulations have given many Midwesterners the ability to hunt at distances that were just not possible before with the inaccuracy of slug guns. I want to be able to deliver some well-researched advice in how to get the best performance out of these cartridges. I was certainly unprepared for the level of difficultly in achieving this though. I will continue to examine this subject this year, as I believe I have come a long way and have some viable theories that will help shooters of this and other similar cartridges to get better and more reliable performance. Expect articles this year on the general performance of straight walled cartridges and a little about their history, loading the 350L, and some sort of ammo guide. There may also be a terminal performance examination but I wouldn’t bet on that coming yet.

Thanks to PurePrecision, Proof, Hornady, Barnes, and Nosler for contributing both product and technical expertise to this project.

Garmin Xero C1 Chronograph Article
Garmin Xero C1 Chronograph Video

I have now used the Garmin Xero C1 Chronograph for an entire year and well over 1000 rounds from a wide variety of firearms and in a wide variety of situations. I guess I should probably write about it already. It is certainly a game changing piece of equipment and realistically I would not have been able to figure out some of the things I did without it as there was no way to use the old Oehler 35p on all the range trips I did for the 350L this year.

Athlon Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph

It is cheaper than the Garmin, and uses an always-on measurement technology like Garmin does. Can it hang? I have certainly seen some excellent things from Athlon in the past. The scopes they submitted to the Sub $1k long range optics series of reviews I did a few years back were, and are, some of my favorites in the category.

Leopold Mark 4HD

It is probably long past time that I looked at the new Leupold Mark 4HD line. The Mark 5HD 5-25x56 I reviewed a few years a go is a winner and that scope line is my favorite in the high end precision rifle / hunting scope crossover category. I am eager to see how the lower cost Mark 4HD line stacks up optically and mechanically, as it’s weight and features certainly indicate it will have similar crossover appeal.

BurstFire annealer

For some time I have been thinking I need to try stepping up my reloading game by adding annealing. Frankly, there was no way I was going to spend thousands of dollars on it though. After some research, I came to the Burstfire annealer. I liked the look of the design and the very clever torch adjustment system. It also features built in rotary tool attachments, and an affordable price, so I bought one. I’ll tell you what I think about it and also their military crimp cutting head. It won’t be 10 pages, I promise.

Field Optics Research Tripods

This was another shooting accessory that I had been meaning to pick up for a while. I spend a good bit of time a few years ago at ShotShow looking at different makers products and decided that I thought the design of the DomeTOP Field Optics Research models was pretty clever. I picked one of those up as well as a bowl top. I also very much liked the design of their FlexLite GunPOD rifle vice and will be looking at their gun vices as well. I am no guru of competitive rifle shooting off of a tripod, but I’ll give you my opinion and not pretend it’s worth more than it is on the subject.

SOLD WTS/WTT Mesa/Pure Precision XM stock

I have a new, never used, never bedded Mesa/PP stock for Defiance XM that I'd like to trade for a short action. I would consider selling but trade is preferred. Stock is carbon with gray webbing, BDL bottom metal, proof sendero barrel channel, 2 front studs & 1 rear. It also has a textured grip and forend. Incredibly light...about 27oz
I also have a Manners EH1A for long actions that I can/would trade.

DM me for questions, offers, etc.
I will not DM you first!

Thanks for looking
