[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2567269, member: 27307"] Guns Valley IS a scam site. This same format is used by dozens of scammers who do not accept credit cards and only accept Zelle: [ATTACH type="full"]376623[/ATTACH] The rest of your suggested suppliers are out of stock for the cases sampled. We (several competition shooters) started using the what is now referred to as the 6.5 SAUM (6.5 GAP 4S) over a decade ago fueled with H-1000. [B][I]"The the same cartridge as the 6.5 SAUM, the GAP stands for GA Precision, who originally made the cartridge famous during owner of [URL='https://www.gaprecision.net/']GA Precision[/URL], George Gardner's use of the caliber during professional competition rifle shooting in 2012."[/I][/B] [URL]https://www.loaddevelopment.com/6-5-gap-4s-6-5-saum/[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]376629[/ATTACH] [I]George Gardner shooting 3.89″ Group at 1157 yds with his 6.5 GAP 4S. Source: [/I][URL='https://web.facebook.com/groups/1556871451246741/user/602263509/'][I]Facebook[/I][/URL] It was not difficult to achieve well over 1,500 shots even when competition was involved. The major difference was that before Hornady actually made a commercial run of the cases, we had to neck down and neck turn a ton of 7mm RSAUM and .300 RSAUM brass from any suppliers having stock. Now, if you want better barrel life while pursuing some of these 6.5mm cartridges, I suggest talking to Bartlein Barrels regarding the newer 'BB' barrel steel: [I]"Bartlein Barrels is pleased to announce the release of a new barrel material. Working with the mill and testing different types of material and tweaking the material over the last few years and with testing having been performed by ammunition makers we now have a different grade of material that we have had made and is proprietary to us. The material has been proven in lab testing and in outside [B]real world testing to provide a barrel life that is 1.5 to 2 times longer than the standard 416 grade of material.[/B] We are calling the material 400MODBB."[/I] So, skip all the comparisons and buy a new barrel made from the BB Steel then go enjoy your shooting. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
