[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2305581, member: 109917"] I inquired about finding a 6.5-280 Ackley reamer and the possibility of buying versus renting and Hugh Henriksen's name came up more than once. I also was told that he was instrumental in the conception of the round back in the mid 90s. I received contact information and I cannot get an answer and the emails bounced back from a dormant/closed account. Does anyone have a working relationship with him that could help me out? If not, where do I turn to get a reamer for my personal use, not that I am chambering anything, but I want 3 rifles rebarreled around this caliber, 2 Remington 700s and a brand new LR Mauser action that was never built into a rifle at the factory. I prefer not to rent for the simple fact that I want one reamer to chamber all 3 rifles and it's going to be a long drawn out process, I cannot afford to pay for 3 rifles to be built simultaneously. I would really appreciate the information on Hugh or any insight or suggestions on where to turn next! FTR: I am not interested in the 6.5 Sherman or any other 6.5mm chambering. Nothing against Rich, he has done a fantastic job with the entire line of Sherman cartridges and I am considering building a 6.5 Sherman in the future, but right now, this dang 6.5-280 Ackley has my loins tingly. Thanks Darryle! [/QUOTE]
