[QUOTE="bowhunter42, post: 779395, member: 32635"] BrentM, pacific tool and gauge makes reamers for the 6.5wsm, you can buy them from midway, or we rented one from 4D, decided to rent one and play with it bofore we buy one. redding and lee make dies for it soI just ordered a set of redding from Grafs, the 270wsm brass necks down very easily. This rifle I built has a Huskemaw blue diamond 5x20 on it, and I just got my turrets for it yesterday, all I can say is wow VERY impressive! @ 7000' 40 degrees she gets 1125 yds in 1 reveloution of the turret. thats only 20 Moa, and for a 10 mph wind its only 3 1/2 moa wind hold!!!! I know this round has more performance in it, and Im sure with a ittle expermenting with different powders and such just as outlaw6.0 has shown in his posts on his rifle. I really just started with H1000, tried retumbo, but went right back to the 1000. It now has a little over 110 rounds thru it, and we bore scoped it last week just to see what the throat looks like, well Im happy to say you could'nt tell it had ever had a round thru it, so I really think there is something about this meloniting, I know 110 rounds isnt much but for a pipe that is only expected to get700 to 1000 shots before its time to set the barrel back, its looking good!
