[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1015252, member: 2460"] The 6.5 Wolf Killer is a new wildcat I developed on the 6.5X55 Swede, it is not the AI but my own version, I completely maxed out the case for full powder capacity, I went with a 35 degree shoulder for smoother feeding from detachable mags, I am building it on a Tikka T3 in 6.5 Swede, I'm leaving the factory tube intact and have a new 26" 8 twist 5R Bartlein #3 contour in my shop for the project, This cartridge is just a personal project I am messing with and it essentially duplicates 6.5-284 ballistics in a different case, one good part is Lapua brass is at $65 per 100 vs $120.0 for the 6.5-284 and I already have 500 pcs of Lapua brass and 300 pcs of mixed US made stuff for the Swede , reamer specs are for the 140 gr Berger VLD's seated to max length in the Tikka T3 Swede magazine . The rifle/cartridge is my lightweight rifle project for wolf hunting on a snowmachine and cross country skis/snowshoes ..... Thus the name ... 6.5 Wolf Killer [/QUOTE]
