Nice build and great video mate. A tip on thread engagement from an old Fitter Armament... turn the fastener backward until just past where you feel the start of the threads drop into engagement, then engage from there. It gets you at the correct point to engage the threads and lessens the opportunity for cross threading. You know that if you don't feel engagement and pitch travel immediately, something is wrong and you should stop before you get into trouble. Keep up the good work mate, your channel is a great watch.

Your build videos are spectacular Gavin, it's been great to watch your channel grow! I love how data driven everything is! You may have already seen these, but some folks are making mounts that you can attach your Magnetospeed via your stock rather than clamping it on the barrel. I think David Tubb designed the first one. It's worth looking into if you consider it altering your barrel harmonics, and if you are like me you are curious about everything. Plus, you are working with some equipment that most of us can only dream of, so I want you to have the absolute best results you can! Keep it up, and thank you for all of your hard work!

I would eventually like to see how this does with the 1:7 twist and some common 25 cal hunting bullets like 120 gr Nosler Partition and 110 Accubond and maybe something in the 85 gr range. Glad to see a 25 cal build, gun looks great. I'm a 25-06 guy.

I have a 1:7 twist 24" 25-06. Using retumbo I found that 115 partitions get much more explosive above 3000 fps. Still was able to quickly find a load to shoot .5 moa. But they started acting like a varmint bullet at close range.

I chambered barrels for a very large American rifle manufacture, JGS is what we use, you won’t have to use oil on the reamer or worry about chips and the finish as much if you get a thru bore coolant set up. Also depending on the blank manufacture most will leave the first .5-1 inch not pulled with rifling so you don’t have to worry about chattering within the bore.

When the 131 blackjack first came out I bought a barrel from them for my .257 Weatherby had a gunsmith recommend and sent it to him and I believe it was chambered wrong, it would not eject the brass after they were fired, sent it back 2 more times and I received my gun with the factory barrel on it and he said that it was my action, haven't been able to shoot the blackjacks since.

FYI, I’m running 6mm brass exclusively. Gives a slight crush in the chamber after necking up with a mandrel- now running 242 then 256 due to virgin lapua necks being so tight-to that end the ‘518 6mm lapua lot worked perfectly (with ‘719 being a bit too tight with a longer base to shoulder datum). I wouldn’t really worry about the 6.5 seater as long as it’s for VLDs, was using forster seaters but moving everything to the SAC seaters now.
