[QUOTE="timo308, post: 2870958, member: 89721"] I had to build one of these for the nephew of one of my regular customers. His brother had stumbled across one of these in a model 70 classic with a stainless Douglas premium Barrel and his son decided that he wanted one just like dad's. Only difference was that I used a faster twist rate in the son's rifle. Was fairly easy to chamber for just using a .270 Win ran in to set the 2.246 dimension then a 25-06 to finish out the body of the chamber followed by a necking/throating reamer set up to mimic the 6.5 creed. According the the dad the 'so called' great claim to fame was that you got the 26-06 case without having to buy the 26-06 reamer or any expensive custom dies. I explained him that I was pretty sure that now days the 26-06 dies could be had for the same price as the 270 and 264 Win mag dies. It is basically identical to the 26-06 standard cartridge which I also had a reamer for, but he chose not to go in that direction. 😉 [/QUOTE]
