[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1800698, member: 85987"] I wanted to do a sherman in the worst way. My issues were I only shoot in the winter and in Mass ordering stuff online like brass and bullets is a pita. The economics of it it would curtail some of the fun along with the extra time which I don't really have. I did the 6.5/06ai because of these reasons. I got a reamer that was set up for the 140 amax. It was throated a bit longer by the smith for the 147's. The AI version reduces the brass flow more than enough to warrant it over the sloping case and shallow shoulders of the straight 06 case. With a bit more barrel than I would normally use I can easily run over 3100fps with the big bullets.. I have not shot it since October because I'm on the fence with what I'm going to do with some other projects. 1, 8.5 and 2 10tw 308 barrels. I know 1 is for a wsm and one is for a 308. That leaves 1 and IDK what that twist will be lol. I was thinking of 30 Nosler when I bought it. Then ADG announced 300PRC is coming. This puts that at the forefront. With Peterson not releasing the 300wsm brass yet I may 2 PRC's but I'd need a different chassis as the one slotted for the WSM is not a cip mag. [/QUOTE]
