Loaded a few shells for it and now the wait for the scope to try it  :bash:

Just be certain to push those shoulders back when you resize the fired casings, otherwise you'll not be happy and use plenty of lube, those WSSM cases can be a bear until you get it right.  :tup:

Yeah, did some research on reloading the WSSM before time.

Also have to have the OAL at 2.25" or they wont fit in the mag.

Good looking rig. The one thing you will want to change out first if you do any upgrades if the pistol grip. Get a soft ergo or magpul. One of the best simple upgrades a guy can do. Those hard plastic sob's are crap. You can get one for like 20-30 and it really make the gun feel nice. Even more so with anything bigger then a 223. The hard plastic hurts the hand after awhile.

Ou of the 1500$+ on my ar in upgrades, a better grip was the best money spent.

Mega rocks , they are still out there. Seekin's is a nitch, if one could read they would see that it's just the monalithic uppers that are the issue with the patent. Mega produces very high quality billet lowers and upper recievers period. I can't even count how many people I have seen walk away from the Seekin's due to the non traditional mag well sweep. Different strokes for different folks, Mega is a big outfit. They got that way for a reason.

Hell POF gives Mega a run for its money in the billet department. They are just not as well rounded as Mega. More of a stout, utility , military directed outfit. You know , perfessional types. Not crew Gucci  :chuckle:


Its LMT that went after Mega for the monolith, Its not that much different than what Colt just came out.  I think its a bunch off crap.
 Mega's is a better product.
 I also agree about the Seekins products, that lower and the 3-gun float tube are pretty awesome, along with Glen throwing some serious
sponsorship into the 3-gun community, he has earned my business.

Yup, Glen gives away a ton of product at the three gun matches as well as sponsorship at tactical matches such as Snipers Hide cup and the Findlay Cup. This year at my match (F.C.) he was the main match sponsor and gave away several thousand $ worth of product. On top of that Glen and his crew are avid hunters and outdoors men.
 His lowers are well thought out and have more than a few features that make them a cut above the rest. The forward edge of the mag well being one of them, to facilitate pressing the rifle against a barricade and not having the mag touching said barricade.

The Nosler Outlet Store at the Factory in Oregon always has some type of .25 cal bullet on sale. Currently they have some .25 Cal Partitions for sale, for about half price.

So far I haven't sold any of the seekins stuff I have won, I figure if I keep going I'll have a complete rifle soon.
