New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

[vinnieb]

The more I read about the 6.5 SAUM makes me want to build one for hunting out here in the desert.

10-4. It'll be the perfect gun for desert muleys and coues deer. I am gonna try to have one by next year. I wish I had one for this year as my son and I have elk tags and it'd be great for that too

 

[Sendero_Man]

Those GAP rifles are so sweet! I want one bad. I want that crusader you got in the background or a hospitaller.

added better pictures for ya... That is my friends 308 Crusader

Its funny that you got Moon to build you one, he has been telling everyone how stupid he thinks the caliber is. He must have finally shot one. Now he will want one!! Looks really nice, I like the specs!!

[Papagallos]

If anyone wishes to sell their 6.5 SAUM, message me.

 

[Bruiser_Joe]

Lmao papa u r horrible

 

[Papagallos]

Lmao papa u r horrible

Then I'll make it 5 rifles without a scope.

 

[Huckleberry75]

Then I'll make it 5 rifles without a scope.

I have a few sweeet ass tasco's that are just screaming for a build, let me know if you want to work out a deal. I may even throw away.. i mean throw in a couple NCstars to sweeten the pot.

 

[Sleeper]

Will the 6.5 SAUM run out of BDL short action bottom metal? Specifically a MCS-BDL mini chassis?

 

[JFComfort]

Its funny that you got Moon to build you one, he has been telling everyone how stupid he thinks the caliber is. He must have finally shot one. Now he will want one!! Looks really nice, I like the specs!!

I was pretty skeptical when Bill first showed me his and told me about it. First thing that came to mind was barrel life, after reading the thread and running numbers I went ahead and built one! Just working on getting my load all sorted out

 

[tbeasley]

Got Midway notification 6:30 this morning Rem. 300 saum brass has arrived.. Checked on site and was already sold out!!
WOW!!
Anybody want to spare some?

 

[JSF]

Can't wait until GAP get's my comp gun done. Been shooting a 6.5cm and now all of my misses will be that much closer.

 

[eshorebwhntr]

They got mine the first week of September and all they had to do was run their design reamer in it. Should be done anytime now I would think. I've loved the caliber since 09 when I got mine just hated making brass for it and was only getting 2-3 reloads out of it because the chamber was too tight. Loosened the primer pockets real fast. Can't wait to start enjoying this thing again.

Skyking...love the look of the A3 edge and that paint scheme. Might do that on mine one day. Had thoughts of when I burnt the barrel out going all black on the metal with a Greybull Precision tan stock. We'll see.

My buddy has a factory Rem 700 in .300 SAUM and it runs just fine with the factory BDL set up.

I don't remember reading that you need a 27" barrel for the 140's, did I miss something or would the 140's be closer to 3000fps in a 24" barrel?

"per Copper Creeks website"

 

[The_FNG]

After prepping 200 pieces of 300 SAUM brass...That ready to load brass is excellent value Josh, i wish you had an export license.

I've driven 140's and 139's at 3175fps in my 24" 1-8.7" Bartlein. Easy bolt lift and round primers.

So Copper Creek is just down loading then...

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

Every barrel and chamber is slightly different. If anything, he is saving you some headache by backing it down a touch. If you want to get detailed, request his load pack and then go from that to his loaded ammo with your desired specs.
That's what I did and it runs perfectly.

Yep, I'd think a 27" barrel would be different than a 24"

 

[Papagallos]

Has anyone tried Lapua Scenar 136 grain bullets with it?

 

[A10XRIFLE]

Both Pat and I have, 139 is better

Hey George. What did you guys find lacking in the 136? I have shot around 1300 in my creedmoors with great success.

I have a bunch of Berger 130s set aside for my 6.5 SAUM, but would appreciate any input you have on the 136.
