[QUOTE="agentcooper, post: 1328537, member: 6087"] I did notice that it's not chambered. I wish I knew what the issue truly is so this wouldn't sound like unsubstantiated bashing, but it is my personal experience. I was disappointed with my time with the 7lrm chambering. The velocities I achieved were not close to what I was told to expect when agreeing to the build in the first place, that seems to be a common statement from several 7lrm owners. Add the undetermined flyers and pressure issues to the mix and that makes for a dog that won't hunt. Although, It did seem like every time I talked to someone relating to tech support with my issues, I received different information every time. I asked if I needed to weight sort brass and I was told no. I weight sorted and got over ten grains of weight variation in my inital batch of 200 pieces. The last batch I received, after the weight sorting, was definitely better on the scale, but still blew a primer and had flier issues with that batch as well. It could have been the ELD-X bullets (Which I was told were shooting lights out) but that is a completely different story of expectations vs. reality. Once, I was told I don't need to neck turn brass, the next time, I do. I asked "Is there an issue going on with this chambering?" the answer I received was a firm "NO." Then, not too long down the road from asking about any issues they posted information on here about finding the source of their thick necks. That last issue, in my opinion, is a safety issue. I really don't care if you know the cause yet or not, If I am shooting brass in my rifle that is out of spec. Please, let me know to stop shooting it before someone could get injured. I receive no direct line of contact about the problem, just read about it on a message board instead. All that being said, the quality of the build was excellent and customer service was good. I own a G7 rangefinder and can't imagine hunting without it. Gunwerks makes good products, no question. My build and experience, certainly wasn't one of them though. [/QUOTE]
