10000% love these types of vids! Makes me want to get a lathe and start playing around doing my own chamberings. Would love to see something 7mm (28 nosler, 280Ai) or a big boy hunting cartridge.
Yes and perhaps that African DG rifle in .416 Remmington Magnum but in a heavy Foundation stock, dark distressed, controlled feed action. 🐃 400gr Swift-A-Frame bullets. Perhaps with Aimpoint 9000L
@@Ultimatereloader It looks very satisfying and I just love "I made it myself". Anyone can go to the store and get a rifle but its always better when you do the work yourself.
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.
Great build Gavin. This content is exactly why I watch UR and reinforces Gordy's instruction. Now I just need a lathe ... and a mill ... and more tooling ... and some more money ... and ... and ... Stop, please! Your videos are breaking me!
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 absolutely LOVE this build! I hope you grab a LE Wilson seating die blank and build the first 25 Creed seater! I’ve really wanted to see one of those made! Great content! Keep ‘em coming!
Another awesome build. I never considered a 25 cal Creedmoor. Interesting......Love your videos so keep em' coming. Thanks for putting such a detailed video together. Much Appreciated!
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.
SO GLAD to see this build!!!! Been wanting to do a custom build around the BlackJack Ace bullet myself but son!, I was no where near going with the premium components of your choosing, but BRAVO! It is certainly a mouth watering build. Big fan of your channel.
just bought a new 110 tactical savage,and a savage axis.have not had a chance to fire them yet.bought rcbs press and redding dies .no primers to be found.they are both 6.5 creedmoor,i am not new to reloading,just been a while since i have reloaded anything.oh yes you built a very nice rifle.good shooting,and keep your powder dry.
This was a really great video. I really enjoyed the entire build process and sight in. I run a foundation genesis 2 on my 6br and it's one of the best stocks I've ever used. Thanks for all that you do, keep up the great work!
Been watching you for years now, you've come a long way. That property you have is really nice and your shop also. I remember your old bench in a garage I think with cinder blocks. The mills you have are awesome, must feel great to build your own gun that shoots that well. I think for most of us that don't live near prc matches would be happy with the factory Bergara HMR and wilderness rifles, they are awesome rifles.
Gavin I’m so glad you mentioned the chatter possibility one might have with a 5 groove barrel and a 6 flute reamer. I’ve seen it many many times. I personally hate 5 groove barrels and I try to steer my customers away when possible. Most people or smith don’t agree with this statement of chatter but it’s real!! I know first hand! Great episode my friend!
I've been shooting the 25cm for awhile. Love the round. Very easy to load for and the light recoil makes it easy to spot hits and misses. I recently switched over to shooters world long rifle. I'm getting similar velocities with about 3gr less power then I did with h4350.
Wow. Great video. Astounding rifle. From someone who is still impressed with a Scorpio EM332 22lr. So yeah, I don't have a clue. But great work on your videos, watched 3 or 4. All meat, no filler. Thanks
This is one awesome video. Very good information. Love this channel and all the information it gives. It would be awesome to take a class from this Man. Awesome video and job.
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.
Love the 25 cal. For deer and antelope.Started with a 25-06 then had a 25 STW build now shooting a 25 WSM that I had build.Load I use: 67.0 gr. H-1000 and Barnes 100gr.ttsx
Great Video! I just built a similar rig with a Centurion stock, bighorn TL3 and a Proof 26" 6 creed . weighs in a 22 lbs with a Gen II vortex Razor HD and feels like shooting a 223. John-Kyle and his team make an awesome stock! I do love Joel Russo's actions as well but went with the TL3 for the easier to come by prefits.
Great video on a fun project. I have a 25x47Lapua, I’m shooting BIB 110s out of. I also have a 6.5x47 and a 6 -6.5x47. Kinda of the same concept or doing with the Creedmoor case. Quarter bores are just fun and with the 131 blackjack they are a very attractive option to me, plus not everyone has one. I like that. Nicely done, I look forward to the updates!
Also try a 25 BR. Great varmint and mid-range coyote rifle. I built one on a Ruger 77 heavy take off barrel from a 25/06 and made an Encore barrel stub to use on a TC Encore rifle. Shoots awesome.
Fantastic looking gun Gavin! Stock looks amazing. The break seems to work well, and I have one for an upcoming 338 LM project. You should try the APA Fat Bastard and Little Bastard brakes. I got a rifle in for testing that has one in 6.5 CM and was AMAZED how effective those brakes are!
Built a 22 creedmoor last year as my coyote/whitetail gun, 1" groups at 400 yards and blazing fast with 85.5 gr. Bergers. I will always have one in my safe.
@@jeremys8360from what I've gathered 1000 to 1200 shots is max, which is fine for me since 85 percent of my shooting is done in a hunting environment. And velo is 3400 with 85.5 gr bullets
Love my 25 creed! For even more performance take a look at the 25 sherman short tac! 5.5 mils and only 2.72mil of drift at 1000 yds in a 20 mph cross wind, whats not to love
@@gw9853 the drop listed is for my 25sst. But i shoot the 131 ace out of both. My 25 creedmoor drop at the same distance and wind value is 6.65 drop and 3.22 drift
3 things Gavin: 1- I wish you were my professor and I was 20 again, learning machining and smithing would be awesome! 2 - don't forget with the Area 419 brakes, screw on and line up and push - the taper lock will hold it in place for you to tighten the collar and 3 - what bipod is that?
Another great video! That rifle looks sweet! What was the cost of the rifle completed build? When are you going to start building rifles for customers?! I want on the wait list!!
Todd, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your attention to detail. Also, thanks for introducing me to the Foundation line of stocks. However, just curious as to why you didn't glass-bed the action into the stock. Is this process not necessary with this stock? Thanks,
Love the 25 creed with the blackjack bullets I’m shooting mine at 2950fps with 42.2gr of h4350 and shot a 4” group at 900 yards while still breaking in the barrel!! Would definitely recommend!
Great informational videos, with all these excellent custom actions I would love to hear how you find each one and some pros and cons? Looking at replacing my existing .270 action but keen to keep the same cartridge, weighing up my options!
Amazing video, thank you for uploading. Regarding the stock can you explain how you balance the rifle. Have you got weights in the rail system; also how would you then counter this? Is there option for weights in the but-stock. I use your videos all the time they are a great resource. Richie (look up the RMPRA).
there are a couple guys that make weights that can fit into the hexagon cut outs in the forend. the foundation stocks are roughly 5lb by themselves. with a 26-28" heavy contour barrel they balance very well a few inches in front of the mag well. my foundation PRS rifle weighs 20lb with a 28" heavy varmint contour barrel.
Gavin, thanks for another great build ,love seeing the details. Have you thought about using a Short Action Custom seating die? it will seat multiple calibers with one die and two stems.
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.
Will you have to get a new Wilson seater in all, or can you just swap too a 25cal stem? I am about too build a 25x47 and have a wilson seater for both 6 and 6.5 x47lapua.
At 7:30 you said the crush (whether hand tight or torqued) affects the tenon length. It doesn't affect the tenon length, it affects the case stick out length (.885" for hand tight, .883" for torqued). Case stick-out is controlled by depth of chamber cut.
@@Ultimatereloader Bolt nose to barrel face clearance = end play, understood. But why deviate from the prints? Tenon print says .725" is for torqued installation and accounts for the .002" crush. It says to add .002" for hand tightened application? You torqued your barrel, so wouldn't .725" been the correct tenon length rather than making it longer?
So what are your direct thoughts on the Terminus Action? It is the second action I have used. My first is a savage model 12. There is no comparison between the two. I am thinking about a BAT. It is around the same price and I am sure you know it's reputation. I have shot a few but I can't really say which is better. Love your videos and would really value your opinion.
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.
Interested in hearing more about the terminus zues… Sounds like an option for changing barrels and calibers ect.. Seems like a different way to machine barrels to make that work.I’ve always wondered if it was worthwhile
I have been looking for my new favorite cal.i think I found it in this video 25.cal great build beautiful gun.whats the cost of this gun in today market.yes I guess iam 5yrs behind lol
Hey Gavin building my first ever short action bolt rifle here soon have about 90% of all the important parts out for shipping soon. I'm hoping you could answer a few questions for me. Okay so the first one is how much torque do I apply to my barrel and action (action impact precision) barrel (proof research competition 26") its a prefit. Also as for the go gauge trick would it work for me? so I can just order the go gauge and just put a piece of scotch tape on the back like you did (where exactly did you place the tape?, right below the neck or down before the rim of the case?) Also I won't need the bottom metal on a MDT ESS correct?
Dobra robota bardzo fajnie ogląda się twoje filmy. W Polsce nikogo nie znam kto by budował takie karabiny i miał dostęp do maszyn i narzędzi ręcznych jaki macie w USA. Pozdrawiam
Looking for some advice. I love shooting and would love to have a great rifle to do it with. Want to shoot 1200 yds. I am thinking about a 6.5 creedmoore . With a night force scope. What barrel, action, and stock would you recommend? I realize that there are no guarantees, but I really need help.
micarta stock? wow. sure not on the lightweight side, but it should be interesting. do they machine a single block or is it formed around the stock shape?
Awsome build!👍👍 How would you compare the zuess and the bat tr? As im interested in both. I know 3 lug vs 2 is apples and oranges. But id love to hear your take on the two.
If you can attach the indicator to the lathe frame instead of the tailstock, then you will know where the reamer is after you move and return the tailstock to measure the chamber depth.

Great video Gavin...
Awesome Video! loved the end to end build
Dobra robota bardzo fajnie ogląda się twoje filmy. W Polsce nikogo nie znam kto by budował takie karabiny i miał dostęp do maszyn i narzędzi ręcznych jaki macie w USA. Pozdrawiam
Any updates on the 25 Creed Gavin?
Nice job,looks like it wood be good for younger generation to get them into the shooting world and maybe for us older generation as well.
Looking for some advice. I love shooting and would love to have a great rifle to do it with. Want to shoot 1200 yds. I am thinking about a 6.5 creedmoore . With a night force scope. What barrel, action, and stock would you recommend? I realize that there are no guarantees, but I really need help.
Awsome video! Why did you not bedd the stock? 🤔
hi Gav . awesome build. have covered reloading the 25 creed yet?? interested to see the out come
micarta stock? wow. sure not on the lightweight side, but it should be interesting. do they machine a single block or is it formed around the stock shape?
Is this caliber the same as the .257 Roberts?
That what I want 25 I've been waiting for this one. Like 6mm and 6.5 but I'm a 25 Cal.
fascinating build video, great job
Thank you!
Love your videos sincerely my friend. Greetings from South Africa!
Awsome build!👍👍
How would you compare the zuess and the bat tr? As im interested in both.
I know 3 lug vs 2 is apples and oranges.
But id love to hear your take on the two.
Are you using a 6.5 magazine for the 25 ?
If you can attach the indicator to the lathe frame instead of the tailstock, then you will know where the reamer is after you move and return the tailstock to measure the chamber depth.
I have heard the T/C magazines are long.
Do your .22 and .308 mags allow long COAL?
Thanks
Gavin, any reason why u didnt build a 25 Dasher? Will this be a good choice VS the 6 Dasher? Or even agianst the 25 creed??
A Tacom HQ Structured Barrel build would be cool to see you do sometime.
Like four other people know how awesome those are, and three of them can't afford it
What advantage would the 25CM have compared to the 250Sav Ackley Improved?
I can't wait to see what you are getting after you get everything dialed in.
what is the advantage over 25:06?
Dang Gavin your gonna make me buy another caliber??? lol.. so how is the barrel life.. one of the reasons I stayed away from 6 creed...
Id say in between 6 and 6.5 creedmoor 😆
sorry low hanging fruit .
Hello, where did you get your rifle stock?
is the 25 creedmoor similar in ballistic and reloading data to a 2506 ?
This is almost the same build I'm doing except mine is 6 CM. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you
Zues vs Atlas Tactical which one you like better??
