Thread: Terminator Products calibres

I have focused on making/using calibres that are an improvement on the standard offerings, standard mag fitting if at all possible with long throating, easy/cheap to make brass for & use standard readily available dies instead of having go down the custom die route which can get very expensive & time consuming.

I have been there with the 375/408 imp, well worth it but not for most guys, the 375 Lil'Terminator was a great learning tool

I want to run the calibres I offer on readily available ADI powders, they may not be the fastest in some of the cases but generally they are the most temperature stable, cleanest & cheapest/easiest to get.

I'm not interested in going down the barrel burning, high volume, turbo charged nitro filled hot rod case route, I'm too old for that stuff & will leave it for others to do.

The worst one I have currently is the 6.5 saum which is more sensible than wild.

I can't see the sense in having a rifle that you have to have a round count for to keep it properly tuned, some of them every 50 rounds & you need to consider its throat life before you pull the trigger.

Some of the large case capacity 7mms especially will not keep shooting the higher BC pills for their entire "quoted life" & they need to go to more conservative bullet profiles to continue to shoot well once the throat becomes roughed up/worn & becomes hard on the jackets.

This happens to all "over bore" cartridges to a certain degree whether they are .224 or .50, you still have all that powder going through the throat, whether it is ball or stick it still hurts them, it is the price of speed

They are all very well & good & super cool, but for the average shooter this starts to get old real quick, most of those rounds are best suited to long range shooting which requires plenty of practice with the rifle you are going to use to become & keep proficient at.

I hope to be able to offer my calibres in "Semi Custom" to keep the costs down & provide clients with something that is a little different, better than a standard off the shelf rifle.

A full custom 6-204 costs basically the same a 338 build, the comsumables will be cheaper but that is about it.

Using my Terminator range of muzzle brakes on the bigger calibres makes them even more attractive to use.
