    That's some great shooting. Are you using factory ammo? How do you like the feel of the thumb hole stock?

    No factory ammo for 6mm Crusader that I know of. And he supplies the handload data on the 300 WSM.

    Sendero, what velocity are you getting on the 6mm Crusader? What barrel length and contour?

    Thanks,
    RP

    Re: 2 GAP rifles.... think they are keepers :)

    Very nice rifles you got there! Looks like you know what works in them for sure. What are you running on top of the 300 wsm?
     
    Re: 2 GAP rifles.... think they are keepers :)

    Nice shooting rifles you got there Scott. Those GAP Nontypical hunting rifles sure prove you don't need a big heavy barrel for long range hunting. Very accurate guns....
     
    Re: 2 GAP rifles.... think they are keepers :)

    Looks like a hell of a hunting rifle, I emailed them with some questions, might be one in my future? I guess I could order it now and hope to get it by next season.

    280Rem?</div></div>

    6mm Rem is the parent case. Fireformed to the Crusader chamber.

    Remington, Winchester, Fedral, and Hornady all make 6mm Rem Brass. I prefer the Winchester myself.
