    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I think the capacity of the Norma brass is less, so you need to back off of those loads. See load work up from previous page. Also would double check case length. I had a few Remington cases with sticky bolt lift that were Copper Creek and they showed some extractor marks. I trimmed them all...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    It was worth it to me to buy ammo from Copper Creek. I'm saving my brass and loading my own, of course. Time is very valuable to me. Easy decision. I think the $5/round is a short lived phenomenon. Brass availability will catch up with demand.

    Range Report Lapua's New 136gr 6.5 Scenar

    Great data/video. 2930 seems real fast for a Creedmoor. Brass looks clean? No extractor marks? I did get almost that fast with Re-17 and had no pressure signs. I stuck with my 42.5gr H4350 because it just shoots.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Thanks. I hope that's the case. I was also firing a GAP re-barreled Crusader with a 26" barrel in 6.5 SAUM. Getting similar velocities in it. I didn't fire the 130's through it, however. That barrel is not melonited. Mark Gordon (Short Action Customs) broke it in. I sent him a box of 50...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I have a melonited 6.5 SAUM barrel for my DTA by SAC that I took out to the range this weekend. Shoots well. Used Magnetospeed and getting 3150 fps for 130 vld's and 3030 fps for 140 hybrids. Ammo from Copper Creek. A little surprised the velocity is not higher. barrel is 27" 8 twist...

    I have not shot my 300 WM conversion much, because I also have 6.5 CM, 7WSM, 308, and now 6.5 SAUM. All my DTA barrels shoot. 6.5's and 7 are SAC barrels. 300 WM barrel I have was easy. Shoots anything well. First group out of it with Southwest ammo 190SMK at 200 yds was sub ½ moa. Also...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Been waiting almost 6 months for my custom GAP 6.5 SAUM. I wonder if I'm close. I assume mine is taking longer because I am a lefty.

    Range Report Lapua's New 136gr 6.5 Scenar

    I bought 139's when this came out because they were cheaper. I just bought the 136's now that they're cheap. I've shot this to 1350yds with the .600 bc and my elevation numbers were right on.

    Hunting & Fishing Recovered Bullets-lets see 'em

    Strick9, curious to know what bullets/calibers you think "kill" better? What have you had problems with? Are there shots/bullets/cartridges you avoid? Experience like that is hard to come by. I have done some whitetail management where you shoot 60-100 deer in a year, but nothing to the...
