No, that was the first pic from ADG. They are doing some today and it will be shipped with the other 7 stuff in about 2 weeksOh! I thought you already had it in stock with the last brass pic that was posted. Didn't know that wasn't it. I don't even have my stock yet...6 month waitSo no real rush for me unfortunately.
Head space is built in. You could shoot Saum ammo if you wanted to.
No one has yet, but it would be nice! I think I guy built a 6.5 SS on one
Brass is at ADG now and I will have it before the end of the month. It is head spaced for the Max chamber and needs to be fire formed like an A.I. It has .200 free bore built into the reamer so is set up pretty well for the 195 already but you could throat it more if you wanted.
The Max has several benefits over the Saum starting with velocity. Because of the case design and better brass, we fully expect it to run equal to, or more likely above, wsm velocity. It should max very close to 3000' with a 195 in a 26" barrel and the180 hybrids should reach 3100'. The minimal body taper and 40 degree shoulder will minimize case stretching and reduce bolt thrust allowing brass to hold up better to higher pressure. The bullet will be seated correctly in the neck allowing for full use of available case capacity. These are all the reasons that the SS is such a stellar performer, and built on an action that will allow 3.1" coal, the max will be also. Even a 700 SA could be used effectively with something like a Bainey box.
