    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Thanks for the replies!! I talked to Redding and also Josh @CC and I guess it's not the dies. Both are leaning towards the VLD bullets. I can take and measure the oal and get 2.895 that I want and then measure that same round to the ojive and get 2.221 but after checking several that oal is...

    It is a new die so I would hope it would last longer then the 25 rds I have been trying to do.

    Same as I have for 35 years full stoke. Using powder charge as discussed here 63.0 H-1000 Die is tight checked and rechecked Retired old Rock chucker for a new one and have no issues with other loads. I may have to call Redding tomorrow.

    I 'm in need of some help using the Redding Dies for my X-Hunter that I purchased from Copper Creek. I can't seem to get the same reading from one to the next when seating the bullet. 2.895 oal is my setting depth I want but each time I will have to adjust the die to get there. It can be as much...

    Getting there I'm way behind on shooting my X-Hunter as I have had it since Oct. and as of today I have 78 rds down her. Wind has been bad here in southern New Mexico for weeks now. Went on this morning with loads to test and I was very pleased with two groups with 63gr of H-1000 Fed 215m...

    I shot my first reloads of my own today. I followed Pat's instructions. Using the Gap load with 130's VLD's 215m primers the best I can get out of my X-Hunter is 3140 fps. The Copper Creek loaded ammo is 3114. I just got my Oehler 35P chronograph back from getting it tuned up so I feel that...

    Question on my GAP 6.5 4S I have 5 round mags. I ordered one extra. But I only can get four rounds in them. I can't attach the mag with the bolt closed with 4 rds in it. I can attach it with 3 in the mag and one in the chamber or just 3 in the mag. I sent a email to them and know they are busy...
