    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...

    Care And Feeding Of A GAP 6.5 SAUM.....

    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...

    Went to the range today and I have to say I'm still on cloud nine after shooting my 6.5 4S. I followed the break in instructions and after only 6 rounds fired I notice a lot less copper. Fired a few more and cleaning was very easy. Was well worth the time to do this. I put a Jewell trigger in...

    My 6.5 4S came in today #19 Lapping rings and getting ready to mount the March on it. Then clean it and try and get to the range Thur. Everything came as ordered except the Jewell trigger as they were out of stock and I didn't want to wait. I will find one and get it installed. Want to thank...

    I just finished up prepping my first 100 rds of brass. I have Federal 210m and 215m primers. Any of you prefer one over the other for the 6.5 4S?
