For those inquiring minds that have been wondering about the 160gr Matrix bullet I wanted to pass this along. The velocity should be about the same as the 6.5SAUM. I thought the BC was pretty impressive. Came across it on LRH:
"So I've been playing with my 6.5x280 ackley and Matrix's 160, this is what I found out. With a MV of 2941 the bc out to a tested range of 1331yds is .665 and expansion is good..."
Interesting, you try pointing them at all?
140 JLK's jump to .670 when pointed, Tested to 2000 Yards. Id like to see what the Matrix bullets jump to!!
Harvestor Suppressors Arrived last week, Form 3's are done and pending for those that bought them for their Xtreme Hunters.
HEADSPACE.. I bet if u took a few thou off the bottom of your sizing die it would work like magic!

Amazing view Pat! You are an EXTREMELY fortunate man!
Check out the loads for the 6.5 SAUM. It should be there. 60-61 grainsquick question. What powder charge of H1000 should I use to fire form my new brass with berger 140's. just My EX just arrived at my FFL and I am picking it up on Friday. I plan to head to the range this weekend.
Thanks,
Brian
Are those the new Leica Geovid, HD-B, 10x42 bino's? How do you like that "all in one", do it all - bino?
Has anyone tried the Swift 130gr Scirocco II in this cartridge? I tried searching on "SAUM Scirocco" but all that came back was this basic thread.
I got my re-barrel job back last week and thought I'd post the results here.
I had a Tikka 300 WSM re-barreled in 6.5 SAUM with a 24", #3 contour barrel, 8.70 twist. Chamber was cut by Francis Kuehl, who did a phenomenal job (more on that later).

I decided not to flute the barrel to start with, but may do that later. I went back and forth on a brake, decided not to. After shooting it, I'm glad I didn't brake it. Although a brake would make this gun very light on recoil, I found it to be surprisingly easy to shoot and I'd rather not deal with the muzzle blast. I had them sandblast it, with no Cerakote. I will Cerakote it later when I decide what to do with flute/no flutes.
The Mountain Tactical stock adds a pound, as does the #3 barrel over the OEM Tikka. Complete carry weight with scope and mount is 9 1/2 lbs.
