Like I mentioned, it’s not the gun smith… the gun smith took 4-6 months (can’t remember exactly, then it went to the stock guy to laminate and inlet… now it’s at the guy who’s staining and bedding it. It’s all good though.

I have prefits and and full custom guns… I like both… reasons I like prefits is I can add a barrel in a new cartridge for $500-6 (under 1k for dies and brass) and typically avg groups @ 100 yards in the .3s maybe a little better or worse. Its easy. Again, that’s average, as they’ve all shot 3...

The 28 Nosler (I’ve owned two) has $3 brass and not much factory brass available in many places. But the SAAMI chamber isn’t throated very well for the 195 EOL to be honest so the answer would be yes and no to me. The 28 Nosler will never get Lapua brass (I’d buy another one if it did and...

Thanks Lance. Have you noticed if they like a certain range of seating depth at all? I’ve shot 125 -150 so far w/o great accuracy in my new 308 and my buddy’s 06. Thanks! Aaron (ABC1000 on LRO)

I use H4350 in the 25CM. I shoot the 135 Bergers in the Creedmoor w a 205m or 450 if it’s cold. 28” barrel and velocity a hair under 2,900. It is a tac driver and probably my most accurate gun at the moment. Several groups @ 100 in the .0s. I love it. I use H4350 in anything Creedmoor as it’s...

😂 or a 147 eld-m or a 108 eld-m either. Congrats!

In fairness to Sierra, I bought a 1,000 of the 165 gamechangers as seconds. I’ve weight sorted them all. They were actually within .3 grains with the exception of a select few. They did have a bunch of gunk on them and were sticky enough that I’m going to call it quits on the media I was using...

I don't want to be a nay sayer here… and I haven't shot all the 7s mentioned on this thread, but definitely the majority. I also still own and ♥️ many of the ones previously discussed. But I hate 7 SAUM! Okay, Okay… I'm kidding. It's amazing, our shared affinity for pills in 284! It's...

thanks! 58.0 is what I show as max for 165 gamechangers from Midsouth as well.

Do you remember seating depth you ended up at? I’m probably not going to try too many depth and hope I can come up with something without a ton of testing. Thanks!

I’m going to be trying the 165 tipped game kings or gamechangers in an older friend’s 30-06, my 308 and 300 WM. I got a ton of them as seconds. The 308 and WM will mostly be bench guns for trigger time. I don’t shoot much of the sierras other than the 39 grain blitz kings in 20 P and 77 SMKs...

215s, 225s and 230s in 1-9” 26” proof cf barrel. All shoot great. 215s shoot @ 2,975 mv, 78.6 grains H1000, ADG brass, 215m primer. .020” jump. Sub half MOA out to almost 650 yards (as far as I’ve shot w this load). 5,500 ft elev. 25 ES INCLUDING COLD BORE… sometimes less

I’ve shot a ton of 135 grain Bergers and H4350 in my 25 CM. 41.5g in a 28” barrel and a 205m or CCI450 primer. Performance has been awesome and super consistent. Just under 2,900 FPS and ES has been literally 0 on some tests but averages single digit all day. The hornady 134 ELD-M has...

Not exactly the same situation you’re in, but I’ve bought and shot more than a dozen shilen or criterion barrels (savage prefits) that have all shot very well. Everyone of them has shot several groups just through load development in the .1s with most getting a couple in the .0s. they’re...

I don’t think any of the modern day presses are bad. I’ve used the rock chucker, the hornady press… I also have a Forster co-ax, a Dillon and XL 750 as well as a zero press. I like them all! And haven’t sold any of them though that was the plan.
