[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 1266753, member: 74115"] I have the GAP 4S version. Brass prep is pretty much the same between the two. You may not have to turn necks with certain brass, if you use a reamer with a larger neck. From what I've read, if you start with 300 brass, you have to turn no matter what reamer your gun was built with. The brass I took the measurements on was Remington 300 SAUM brass. Resized, neck turned, etc. It came with the gun. I have the Hornady brass as well. That takes no extra steps. Ready to load and shoot, no matter what version you have. Easiest way to get going and the brass is cheap, compared to Nosler and Norma 7mm SAUM brass. Mixed reviews on how long the brass lasts. I'm going to try and load for 3000-3050 FPS and see if it'll last. I just bought some Remington 7mm SAUM (x220) and 300 SAUM (x50) brass. I'm planning on running the 7mm brass through the Hornady 6.5 dies. 1 step. I'll probably buy a 7mm SAUM sizing die to do the 300 in 2 stages. Likely wont touch the 300 brass until everything else is toast. I'll probably need a new barrel by then. [/QUOTE]
