    Moving away from hand primers

    I have used the APS strips with the hand priming tool quite a bit. Great for loading at the range. Limited options and can be hard to find primers at times. If you save the strips you can load the primers in them in a pinch. I have done this for a range loading session. I use my Dillon...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    What is your setup for your 7WSM? I get just over 3000fps with 168VLD's and H4831SC. What powder are you using?

    260 with Lapua Brass, H4831sc and Berger Hybrid 140's -- Anyone??

    I use 7828ssc which has a comparable burn rate. I get 2800fps with Lapua 136L and 46.0gr. Very accurate with low ES and SD.

    I have a 6.5-284 bought here on the hide with a Proof wrapped Benchmark nitrided barrel. Easily get over 3000fps with H1000 and no pressure signs. Very accurate.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I am pretty sure psinclair has had good success and brass life shooting the 139 Lapua Scenar with 61.5gr H1000. See post #51 of this thread (page 2). He reports 3175fps without any pressure signs. All with Remington brass. He uses Tula LRM primers I believe. A lot of people are getting...

    7LRM Load Data

    So... I noticed that the 190 Matrix (.673), 180 Berger Hybrid (.674) , and the 175 Nosler ABLR (.672) all have essentially the same BC. I assume you can push the ABLR a little faster, but the Matrix bullets have more mass. Any opinions on a "best" bullet for this caliber? Going on an elk...

    7LRM Load Data

    What about Ramshot Magnum? Comparable burn rate to H1000. Might get some more velocity as well. Also might try PP4000 MR. Waiting to get my TS Customs 7LRM barrel from Primal Rights currently. Great service. Very eager to try this out. Also have a couple 6.5 SAUMs.

    Georgia on my mind "Gradous" UPDATE!

    I agree with above. Sentinel is well thought out. It just feels right. I have one with 308 (Surgeon) and 260 (Stiller Tac 30) barreled actions that are interchangeable. Both shoot great.

    Gunsmithing Bolt hard to move after Cerakoting...

    I have had the same problem with a TAC30 AW which is smooth as butter now - used some of the recommendations above. I have a Templar V2 now that is very tight - cerakoted FDE. I haven't worked it loose yet.

    Orkan, I would be very much interested in a 7LRM barrel. I've been considering a build. I went to your website and saw the "TS Custom" barrels you're doing. You have any in stock? If not, what is turn-around time? I also noted you have multiple contours listed.

    Hunting & Fishing nilgi hunting and bullet selection

    I went on a nilgai hunt a couple of years ago. I used a 300 WM with Hornady GMX bullets. Worked fine. I think the most important thing to know about nilgai is that once they start running they don't stop running until they hit a fence. I shot my bull on the run at 350 yards. The other I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope market inside scoop...

    Also love the G2DMR reticle. For me, I think March has hit it on the head with the 3-24x and 2.5-25. I think the 52mm objective will gather plenty of light. I also like the light weight. It looks like this is along the same lines. also like moa/moa Having the low end magnification and...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I recently received my GAP custom build with a Sendero Contour barrel. Is otherwise an Extreme Hunter. I built it this way b/c I was told that was the "minimum contour" for a suppressor. Wanted that option. Is it just POI shift? Am I missing something? Just got my TBAC 30BA. Haven't even...

    I have multiple Proof/ABS barrels. Had good luck with them. I've looked into the same thing. I think the way to go would be to buy a barrel from Proof and send it to Short Action Customs.
