I posted it somewhere on here befor, not sure what thread. but I spoke with a couple guys on lrsu that are shooting the 180 eldm here in Utah out of a 9 twist 7 rem mag. They are saying that they are getting a spot on bc of .800 verified out to 1600 yards. I just want the 8 twist so I can...

I'm going with an 8 twist proof sendero, and the 180 eldm. Have some right here in front of me, and the bearing surface is not as long as you think. I tried to get evolved to get me a 7.5 twist but proof shot it down from what that told me... Mike

Just for comparison I'm pushing a 140 hyb with RL26 in a 26 inch tube at 3189 with no sign of pressure in the ss. You can do that with a 6.5 gap, but thats stomping in it and brass is dead fast. I got all the way up to 3280 befor I really saw hard bolt lift and flat primers and I have 10 plus...

My 26 inch bartlien 6.5ss sped up right around 150 rounds I gained about 60 fps or so. I'm confident I can push the 180 eldm to 2950 in a 22"with RL26.I'm with you 30+ inch suppessed sucks to carry / hunt with. Mike

BC is king, and with the 180 eldm for hunting 50 to 70 fps is not going to hurt much. Based off my 6.5ss you can push it a little harder to get where you want. I'm going with 22" on my 7ss. Mike

Hey Rich. It's been so long I can't remember what you were charging for a reamer rental and dies. I'm just about ready for 7ss I have my action and barrel, waiting on a manners stock that's going to be a while. I spoke with Whiden about changing my 6.5 dies to 7, and he said I'd need a new...

He is testing two versions now. One with a rebated rim to work with a mag bolt face and another for the lupa bolt face. He also mentioned the possibility of high quality US made brass too.

Pro has a new cartridge called the LRC (Long Range Competition). A little Info is out on it, it looks similar in design as the ss line except on a lupa mag case that is shortened to 2 inches. Looked like it has a 40 degree shoulder and taper blown out for something like 10 more grains water...

3 bucks a pice! Wow that's some expensive stuff...... Was hoping it would be lower than that. 300 rum brass from them is only 2.07 a pice. Not meaning to be negative but why is this brass so high. At that price it may just be worth it to buy there saum brass when it comes out..

I have been in the same boat. I'm gathering parts for a 7ss and would like to shoot the 180 eldm exclusively. I know Hornady lists 7.5 for it, but I have had conversations with shooters on FB saying they are using the listed bc in a 9 twist 7 rem mag with drops verified out to 1600 yards. My...

Rich, I'm in for 200 right now, but if the price drops compared to the Bertram brass such it sho uld based on what they are selling now I'll be in for more. Just let me know when and where to send the funds. I know this thread is about new brass, but can I use my 6.5ss dies for 7ss with just a...

Awesome Rich! I was just thinking about asking you earlier today if you had talked with them after the big lro and FB push for them in the last few days.

Thanks Ray, I have not cleaned my brass much for the last year or so, (dont really care how it looks more concerned with how it shoots.) I have been through the thread about hbn on lro and did start using imperial wax from the beginning. I also inside reamed both my old batches of 50 Norma and...

I have a couple questions for some of you fellow 6.5 ss shooters. I am in the process of working up a new load for mine (147 Eldm), and was curious if anybody has used HBN. I decided to start, and have seen my es drop, but I have noticed that bullet seating seems to be a lot harder, so much that...

I'm ok with that Rich
