Soon as I learn 308, the 50 will be next. Would rather make a mistake on the 308 than the 50.

I wish I had the time and room to dedicate to it. I sold all my reloading equipment 15 years ago. Maybe do it again someday but for now I don't get out enough to make it justifiable.  

Thanks for the info!

Just tried to order from survivalops again. There web site is still screwed up. Tried different browsers but gets hung up on the shipping calculations. Anyone know of anyone with close to the prices of survival ops?

I ended up sending 30 of the 80 API rounds I ordered from Freedom back to them. The brass was too long on 27 or 28 of them. All the specs I've seen for reloading call for a max length of 3.910. I had one that Survival that was 3.912 and the bolt wouldn't close. I probably could have forced it. That was not something I was willing to do though. They sent replacements out before they received the ones I sent. In fact, the delivery date for the replacements is one day before the expected delivery date for the stuff I returned.



Did you have any luck placing an order?

No. He finally called me and was suppose to call me back. Never happened. Gave up.

I have oredered from Survivalops. Their ammo cycled just fine in my Serbu semi, no extraction issues or rounds stuck to the chamber. I have to admit that the last time I ordered was a little nervous. After I placed the order, received an email with a confirmation. Several days went by and wasn't getting any tracking info. I called several times and it would always go to voicemail, there were no replies to my emails either.

After waiting a few days more I was ready to call my credit card and report the operation but that day the order was delivered.

I did talk to the owner once, and he was helpful. I suspect this is a very small operation; however, their customer service could be improved.  Having said that their ammo worked and looked great.

I enjoyed using there ammo. Never stuck brass. Had some reloads done locally and can sure tell the difference as survivalops was allot tamer. Hope to have my press next month. Have 4 jugs of WC860 I want to burn up. When I did those reloads, used some of my H50BMG. Good stuff but will load with that after I burn up the WC860.
