I just recieved my custom pinned 7 pin Best lock today, i ordered it with 6 spools and very aggressive bitting, and i tried a few times to pick it and i cant get any feedback whatsoever haha, does anybody have any tips for picking these types of locks? pictures of lock and the opperator key bitting are attached

Top of keyway temsion.light tension to moderate and good luck ,they dont give a lot of feedback unless spooled and even then feedback is faint.

I moved this to the Best lock subforum for you. Here is a page with some more information that you may find helpful.

Lots and lots of patience works well. I can only image what a nightmare spool drivers are in SFIC locks.

I am using top of keyway tension and i have beem able to get a false set a few times, but even then i get almost no feedback from any of the 6 spools

EDIT: I purchased the lock as a challenge, didn't realize what i was getting myself into with the dual shear lines and high tolerances, lots of frustration!
