[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2429866, member: 116620"] .Build that 6.5 -284 with a 1-7.5 twist 26 in barrel,have the muzzle threaded for a brake if you decide you need one . Both of my 6.5 - 284s are not braked . I’m shooting the 121 gr Hammer hunter at 3342 fps on a max load in a 1-9 twist . Then built a 6.5 prc in the 1-7.5 twist now I can take advantage of the heavier 131 gr Hammer hunter . That bullet will do any thing a 140 or 150 class lead core bullet will do and then some ,you can’t overspin the lighter monos so you will gain stability on those and still are versatile enough too shoot a cup and core . All the Swedish 6.5 x55s had a 1.-7.5 twist so it’s really nothing new Bartlien make a great 5r 1-7.5 cut rifle barrel . Best of luck [/QUOTE]
