Yeah, I noticed the cost of uppers. Seems strange that two uppers with nothing different than a barrel should be that far apart. I don't think I've found one under sic bills.
I think the Ballistic Tip 165s would undoubtedly work fine. I'd feel happier with the AB, but I don't know if I would worry about it enough to work up a load and potentially screw up my zero of something that already works. Particularly in somebody else's gun.
I have an earlier version (name escapes me now) in 7RM. I like them a bunch. The dies are stored in a goofy wood two-piece box that slides into a cardboard sleeve. They're good dies, capable of making better ammo than I'm capable of shooting, particularly in the 7 Mag that I have.

The other day, in the truck rifle thread, I posted that a 16"-18" AR in 6 ARC might be a possibility for my choice. It seems I may have talked myself into one. Has anybody played with one? Looked at one? Guy, has Gavin managed to acquire one?

I don't THINK I'm biased against the .308 (like I am the .270), I just don't think about it. I have a decent Ruger Hawkeye .308 that I hardly remember I own...
Weird that the SPS-V in .223 is 8", but the .22-250 is still 14". The latter punched to to an Ackley chamber is kinda something I've wasted for a while.
Purty!
I'm not a big 7RM guy, but that"s probably just left over from arguments in fifth grade with my then best friend Sean about if the 7 was better than the '06. Dumb!
