Custom actions with high end barrels that are heavy (mine are stiffer as well for the contour chosen, because they are short), puts a lot of things in my favor.
Our thoughts exactly.
Plus, it was windy when Glenn did the 4 different groups.
We don't even have 50 rounds through the barrel yet, and I have more brass that needs to be fired for the first time.
The 6GT is rocking it!
PROOF 7.5T, 15.9” barrel, Holland brake, McMillan stock, Borden Alpine XP, Dell trigger. Omega Precision/Peter Angelos did the rebarrel.
Groups at 100 yards.
Glenn had some time and this is a 10-shot group, and every shot was a different powder charge 3/10’s of grain...
Over simplified, but a general rule for fast twist/long-range set-ups.
Zero at 100 yards at 1/4" left of center, and that pretty much takes care of you out to a grand.
An accurate app (As Mentioned) will be the most accurate.
I have killed whitetail, mule deer, antelope and elk with NBT's, Partitions, and AB's.
Whitetail and mule deer, and Stag with LR AB's
Antelope with solid base
Whitetail, mule deer, antelope, and big hogs with A-Max's and ELD-M's
Elk with ELD-X's
Etc, Etc, Etc....
You have been given good advice.
You have so many good options (many have not been mentioned yet), it will make your head spin.
Typical distances you hunt at?
What Guy said.
If you have a different range of bullets you want to use or try, get the twist rate for the longest/highest BC one you intend to use.
The one that requires the fastest twist.
The 7 SAUM has about the same capacity as the 7 PRCW.
There is just better brass for the PRCW and the similar wildcats.
As you know the 180 Hybrids pretty much reign supreme for the 1K game.
I used H-4350 in the 7mm SAUM and the 160 grain LRX
With my first 7 SAUM I used H-1000.
H-4350 has been my go to powder for short barreled 6.5-284's since the late 90's
Thanks Guys!
I am very pleased.
I also did some load development with my 6.5-284 rear-grip with the 142 LRAB’s.
I need to redo two loads.
The odd thing is is that the load between those two was not good, so I don’t know if it’s just the inconsistency of that bullet or maybe I messed something...
