    Two legendary men right there. Teamed up to wildcat a cartridge to get SAMMI . With Hornady backing the production line. Thats a infrastructure win win in my book. Great podcast. Ive been looking forward to hearing this one day. Thank you Seth!!

    Awesome episode. Fantastic news! I am standing by for the Goldilocks 25 GT or Creedmoor or PRC. When 6mm is too light and 6.5mm is too heavy. Why, my very first hunting rifle (back in the early 1980's) was a Win M70 in 25-06 and I still have it. Still favored by many for Western NE Antilope as well as Mule and Whitetail deer, the shock usually folds them like a $3 tent.

    I would love a “brass life” video. Where you guys discuss factors that increase and decrease how to maximize the number of reloads you can get. Also if there are cartridges that lend themselves to better or worse brass life. Thanks.

    Took out my 6GT for the first time yesterday. Testing 3 different bullets (Hybrids, ELDMs, and Atips) all rang steel out to 900. Dialing this thing in is going to be fun.

    To Podcast Mods: most of us will get a box of ammo from multiple companies seeking an accurate load. You could virtually guarantee hunters settle on a Hornady cartridge if you offer a "Sampler Box" to hunters for popular cartridges. Example: 6.5CM 5 rounds each. Precision Hunter, Superperformance, American Whitetail, a CX load.

    I built a 6 GT a couple months ago and look forward to starting load development after deer season is over. I threw a “middle of the road” load together with H4350 and Berger 109s just to put a few rounds through it, and I’m already pretty impressed with it.

    Been thinking about going with a 6GT for some time now for both precision target and varmint hunting. Seems like it would be a good fit to go between my 6.5 Grendel ARs and my 6.5 Creedmoor bolt guns. Additional commercial support is definitely a positive factor

  • @georgeclarke4235

    Great podcast. These are the guys that “get it done”. I’m fighting my desire to build a 25gt. Always liked the 25 cal. Already have a 25 creedmoor and 25 prc. Just fun to experiment and the characteristics of different cartridges.

    • @waynemayle865

    When I go out to the range, my son gets a little discouraged with his 22lr watching his dad reach out and touch things far away with a 6.5PRC... I had been considering a 6.5 Creedmoor for him, but maybe 6 GT would be a good "trainer" transition for hunting. A smaller step up in recoil and a big step up in confidence.

    • @thesuperkat943
      @thesuperkat943 23 дні тому +4

      Check out 6arc as well. It’s 1k capable, not as spicy as 6.5cm, and can be better in wind. Only thing is that you won’t be able to reuse all of your components that you use for prc

  • @warnniklz
    @warnniklz 23 дні тому +1

    Built a lightweight 6GT hunting rifle on a Lone Peak Arms Razor-Ti with a 22inch 1 in 7.75 twist Benchmark barrel. Set in a Kroseg Remington Hunter carbon fiber stock. Rounded out with some Hawkins Precision bottom metal and Trigger Tech Primary trigger.
    Have 103 ELD-X infront of 37.6 grains of H4350 running 2880 fps.
    Was hoping to baptise it during spring bear season... but the mule deer out here will be heating up soon.

    If I only have one gun for everything. In 1990, I bought a 25-06. If I were buying one gun today. It would be 6.5 creed, for barrel life. If I could have multiple guns, but only one caliber, as mentioned. Then, the 6.5 PRC is probably the smart choice. 18" suppressed.

    I've been loading 6 arc for my 20" prs gasser but plan to jump up to the 6gt when I get a bolt gun. Until then I've been on the hunt for the right bullet. I was looking at the 105gr berger hybrid or the new aeromatch but would the 103gr vapor trail be a better candidate?

  • @jjgriffin3275

    • @kochj0713
      @kochj0713 22 дні тому

      All depends on where you’re buying it from. I buy my local and they always have a sale every hunting season and take $40 ofd= 360$for 8lb.varget no shipping no other shipping hazard fees just go and pick it up….. I don’t know anybody that wants to buy four or five jugs of it. That’s a lot of money usually 8 pounds or less someone in a long time.
