[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 174525, member: 951"] labs, the smiths reamer was made of a 270 case length, the cases came out fully formed, just slightly rounded shoulders, I was using 11 gr of unique. johnny, Rocky gibbs designed the cartridge on a '06 case, his design called for the shoulder to be pushed foreward far enough to allow one caliber of neck length. The smith had his 6.5 reamer ordered at 270 case length to better stabilize the long 140-155 gr hi bc bullets Took the rifle to a local smith today, was broken down and chamber cast made, the lead seems to be longer than the cases, the neck diameter of the casting was .292, seems that in order to get case life I'm just gonna hafta load it down. any other thoughts? The barrel is a kreiger 1/8, are they known to be slow? I mean if I load it down to 3150 fps, I'd be better off with a 6.5/06 AI wouldn't I? RR [/QUOTE]
