The 6UM

Anyone chamber these barrels for defiance antix?

UM made the reamer available for any smith that wants to buy one. It's not proprietary.

7 weeks before UM gets the next shipment of 6 UM dies. They do have some SAUM brass.

6wsm sounds like the natural choice here!

6 Western?

6 Western?

Wsm: Winchester short magnum. The made 300, 7mm and 270. 300 still relatively popular, 7 is dead commercially, and still some 270s around. The 300 and 270 versions held right about 80gr powder, the 7 held bout 82.

I’ve been off thread for a while with this project. This gun shoots silly good, I have 70 down the pipe now. Shot my bull with the stick and string this year, so it will get first blood on mule deer or my wife’s elk tag.
I had a heck of a time with the Hawkins Hunter mag. Never would fit no matter how much I dremmeled it. Ended up in the trash can.
Ordered up this accurate mag in 3 round 300 wsm. Fits like a glove.

Good to know, was thinking about ordering a Hawkins for my hnt26 tikka in 6prc, think I’ll hold off now and maybe try the accurate mag.

So with October past the halfway point are we still expecting brass the end of the month?

UM posted on their Instagram a picture of an email from ADG earlier this week. Said that ADG would be shipping test brass via UPS ground within a few days for evaluation.

I messaged UM asking if it was necked to 6mm to which they replied "yes". So it sounds like ADG was able to get it necked to 6mm but I don't think they got the shoulder?
