UM GM New Reamers on the Way

[UM_Blaine]

I have ordered several new reamers recently. Here is a list:

1. 22 UM (Don't even ask)
2. 8.6 Blackout
3. 6-7 PRC (Wheeler butt)
4. 6-6.5 PRC (Wheeler butt)
5. 338 Norma
6. 25 Creedmoor (Blackjack)
7. 25 SAUM
8. 25-6.5 PRC (Wheeler butt)

I also have die making reamers on order for the 22 UM, 6 UM, and 6.5 UM. This will drop the price of Whidden custom dies significantly for @Ryan Avery and @Formidilosus favorite new cartridges. BTW, Ryan is no longer a long bearded gnome.

The advantage of the 6-7 PRC and 6-6.5 PRC over the 6 UM is that you don't have to fireform brass or buy expensive dies. Just change the bushing and neck down.

Some others you may not know we have:

1. 7-6.5 PRC EW (for the F-Classers)
2. 6 Dasher A-Team (for the PRSer's)
3. 6 BRA (for the LRBR superstars. This one has a .268 neck. I don't remember ordering it. I have my own one at home)
4. 300 Norma IMP (another Wheeler design--basically a short fat RUM)

We have most of the usual suspects in stock as well.

How much will your 6 UM dies cost and when do you anticipate having them ready for sale (assuming the die reamer is always out until delivery..)?

Thanks,

We can order them now for $450, which is our cost. They take about 10 weeks. When the reamers arrive at Whidden in a couple months, the cost will be around $280. Not sure on the lead time yet.

We also have a 6.5-7PRC on the way

Would/could they ream existing Whidden 6.5 saum dies?

I pmed the UM account and never heard back, assuming he gets a billion messages so I'll try and ask here....I'm planning to have UM build me a 7 prc. Can you use the wheeler reamers to avoid the clicker issue? Or is that an extra cost? Not sure if those reamers are on hand or not.

Nice. Was just thinking the other day that my win mag might need to become 6.5-7prc.

 

[Axlrod]

When is the expected delivery of the reamers? I want to build a 6-7prc.

I had a dream last night of hunting with a vesper short (um bottom & mag) 25-7prc &134eldm. Is this a dream that could become a reliable functioning reality?

 

[HingleMcCringleberry]

Man that 6mm-7prc or even 6.5-7prc would be awesome.

7 prc is a long action cartridge....but if I remember right the vesper medium is long enough.

Um short mag inside 3.15", optimum oal for .25-7prc 133 berger is 3.2"

A 25-7PRC would be WICKED.

 

[BAKPAKR]

@UM GM , I am not interested in the dies or reamers, but I would like to learn more about, “BTW, Ryan is no longer a long bearded gnome.”

 

[Axlrod]

A 25-7PRC would be WICKED.

Definitely! It would be 5-6 grains less case capacity than a 257 Weatherby, but has better brass available.

What is current lead time on barrel chamber/muzzle thread jobs if barrel blank is in hand?

Right now, around 6 weeks.

Best to e-mail me directly (riflesatunknownmunitions.com). Even then it make take me a couple days, though I do try to answer everything in 24 hours.

We only use Alex Wheeler's reamers with the big butt to avoid clickers.

Don't know if they would do that. There were VERY specific about what they wanted us to provide.

Are you guys working on any actions or just specific ones ?
