[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1434466, member: 103369"] thanks; I have no doubt from his reputation that he will build a nice rifle; some other people I have dealt with over the years have been hit or miss, so this time I decided to ante up for a known name. In fact, he does not have the 6.5-06 reamer, but I have had two others built in the past and know where I can rent that reamer for him to work with, so it isn't a big roadblock. In terms of the velocity, I'm comparing the book data of a 6.5-284 which I have never loaded for, with internet data for a 6.5-06 AI which I have never loaded for, so that involves x's and y's which are not certain. For example, a standard 6.5-06 which I do load for lists book data of 100 fps faster than what I actually get out of the same load. And the 1" difference in barrel length does not - or should not - cause that much of a loss. So, point being, the 200 fps guess is mostly theoretical. [/QUOTE]
