    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Do you know bore diameter and groove count? I know early on it seemed like they started with 6 groove 0.236" bores before adding 0.237 bore. Same with 0.218 vs 0.219 bores.

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    I do this but different neck thickness and neck tensions still results in a fair bit of adjustment headaches. No way id go back to trim, chamfer, debur in separate steps though.

    Have a giraud, been happy with it for a long time. I’d take a hard look at the hornady one if starting from scratch now.

    SAUM help choosing.

    Yeah but the heavy 6.5s come with a recoil and velocity penalty. The 130 class .257 pills are pretty dang slick for the weight. Without a brake im lousy at spotting shots with lightweight 6.5s so I’ll take all the help I can get. Brakes suck but especially so on hunting rifles.

    SAUM help choosing.

    Had a couple 6.5 saums and still have a 7 saum. I’d probably do a 25-6.5 PRC before any of them these days but a 25 SAUM sounds cool too. Those 130 class 25s would be lasers.

    Thoughts? Christiansen Arms Mesa vs Tikka T3X

    Neither sounds appealing at all for long range shooting to me - because 6.5# rifle in 300wm isn't a ton of fun. General rifle/company attributes I'd take a tikka over a mesa any day. For 300wm though a tikka factory mag is way too short for loading heavy bullets longer. If you're shooting...

    Describe your perfect scope

    In that vein, cut the 8x+ erector bullshit and make something that is more useful without so many compromises. Make this a 4-20. 3-24x52 March was the most disappointing scope purchase I’ve ever made.

    Seekins ph3

    And an 8 in 6 creed. I don’t get it. But 7 RM gets an 8 twist. Not sure if they or their barrel supplier is just limited on twist options?

    Federal does it again 😅

    Appears to be factory ammo vs factory ammo amigo. Plenty of reports of factory 7 PRC ammo putting up the numbers he posted. Federal 7 prc seems to be a little faster on recent lots than hornady both with 175 eldx. But yeah, that’s about what I ran that bullet at from 22” 7 saums.

    I never said it didn’t. I said recoil energy.

    Federal does it again 😅

    In that simple math on every recoil calculator I’ve seen there is a place to enter powder weight. Because powder has mass too and said mass goes forward out the barrel with the bullet so there is recoil energy going back for it as well. So if a bullet has identical velocity in 2 guns but one...

    Federal does it again 😅

    Actually is different. Don’t see why the need for the shit talking without seeing how it plays out. This in a bolt action makes more sense to me than 277 fury being a primary battle rifle chambering. Hell of a lot of hunters bought into 7prc and only shoot factory ammo. If this thing has...
