    How good is good?

    Sounds like your rifle (and your family) can really shoot.

    Proof Research???

    Curious to know what load you're using. I have 2 6.5-284's, one with a 28" Benchmark/Proof Barrel and one with a 28" Hart barrel. I have a load at 2950fps with the Hart barrel - hammers but with some ejector marks/primer flattening. Been using H1000 in the Proof barrel with no pressure signs...

    RL 17 and a good starting point for 140 A max

    you will probably get more than that. Some are getting 2900fps+ with RL-17 and 140's.

    6.5x284 with h1000 vs 6.5saum

    I went out and shot 6.5-284 side by side with 6.5 SAUM. 6.5-284 is 26" Benchmark/nitrided/Proof wrapped. I was getting ~3000 fps with Ramshot Magnum - less than 2" vertical at 500 yards. No pressure signs. Have also had good results with H1000. All with Berger 140 hybrids. 6.5 SAUM is...

    Range Report Lapua's New 136gr 6.5 Scenar

    You have another video where you're shooting the Berger 140 Hybrid's at 1690. Which one do you find more consistent at long range? Also, you seem to get more velocity out of the Lapua 136L. Any reason, or are you just loading them hotter?

    Gunsmithing Proof Research Barrel, MY AX 308 has a new Tube.

    This was my sight in session before a Mule deer hunt in Utah last year. Shot at 500/750/and 1000 yards to confirm my drops were correct. The point of aim is the dark spot in the bottom right-center of the rock. Rifle is a lightweight Proof built 7WSM...

    Gunsmithing Proof Research Barrel, MY AX 308 has a new Tube.

    I have 3 Proof/ABS barrels. One is a 300 WSM wrapped over a Rock barrel. One is a Benchmark that is nitrided and wrapped in 6.5-284 (bought here on SH). The third is a custom Proof build in 7WSM. All 3 shoot better than I do.

    7LRM Load Data

    I'm just trying to collaborate on data. As you see above from Mr Happyface post, chambers can vary a little bit as well. Just trying to share all the data we can to maximize what we all get out of this cartridge. Hoping to get to the range later this week to develop loads as well. If you...

    7LRM Load Data

    Orkan, I recently purchased a 7 LRM barrel from you for my DTA made by TS Customs. Fit and finish are excellent. Service was great. Anyway you could post your OAL as well as your length to ogive for bullets with this round. That number seems to vary from comparator to comparator. I...

    Help selecting Left Handed short action for build

    I have all of the above except for the Big Horn and am a lefty too. I would go with the Stiller. I live in Dallas and went out to pick mine up. Very impressed with them. I have a new LH Templar V2 and would rather work the Stiller. Feels smoother. People seem to really love the Bighorn too.

    6.5mm Creedmoor vs 6.5mmx47 vs .260 Rem

    My experience as well. I have 260, 6.5CM, 6.5-284, 6.5 SAUM. My favorite to shoot - 6.5 CM. I like them all, the CM is just so easy in so many ways. I have had no problems with my 6.5 CM brass. I use Lapua in my 260. It is very nice as well. Maybe I'm not loading my 6.5 CM hot...

    Rifle Scopes New Optic From Bushnell, The LRHS

    All the above being said, They are a great deal at $1041 (Amazon price). Only reason I didn't buy one originally is I would have liked to see a little higher end magnification and I like illumination in a hunting scope for low light. May pick one up now. I have been on the design end of...

    7LRM Load Data

    Orkan, one thought on the "smoked necks" discussion. I remember a discussion I had with Josh at Copper Creek when he did load development for me on a 7WSM when I was short on time. He told me he had gone to Fed 215 GMM Match primers for the WSM/SAUM and larger magnum calibers for full...
