The 6UM

They made the prefits for the LS-Wild group buy. I have one; it shoots well.

LS Wild sends his reamers to them each time that he does a group buy.

They did move to Utah, but I still chose to use them since I have had good luck in the past.

I didn’t know they moved to Utah. Where at?

Was it noted recently on an S2H podcast that the 6UM is performing better with a 1:7 rather than a 1:7.5 twist?

If so, what was the criteria around that? Was it for both the UM30 and UM40 versions, only for DTAKs, etc? @Ryan Avery

@wy_will - is your thumbs up a "yes" to my question or just that you like my post?

I don’t get how this is true when Ryan is in this very thread talking about blowing up a can with a 1-7 twist. I guess I would need to hear the full context.

I dont listen to every episode but i sure wouldn't spec a 7 twist for a UM and kind of doubt Avery would. Maybe if you're going really short it wouldn't be much of a problem.

I just liked your question. I have barrels on order and I went with 1:7.5, but it might not be too late for me to change to 1:7 if that is working better.

I certainly could have mis-heard. Not trying to start anything and was only looking for clarification.

At 3200fps a 7 twist is around 329,142 rpm
At 3200fps a 7.5 twist is around 307,200rpm

Does anyone know the top rpm for the TMK's

The podcast is entertaining, but I would not base any purchases off what I think I heard on it. I’d end up mounting a fire extinguisher on the buttstock of my rifle to counteract the recoil.
