[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 24029, member: 34"] Wayne The 30" barrels seems to really make the Gibbs shine. The 6.5/06 is a dandy cartridge too and I would consider looking further at that one unless you like to fireform cases like you will have to do with the 6.5 Gibbs chamber. Some people don't like doing this, but others don't mind. The Gibbs cartridge will hold up to 9 more grains of powder over the standard case depending on the brass you use. It is a serious improvement over the standard and will perform quite well. For normal use and shooting with the 6.5 bore, the 6.5/06 is a very good one. If your after more velocity, then the Gibbs is the answer. The 6.5 Gibbs and 140 gr or 142 gr Bullets with the 8 or 8.5 twist will amaze you. Ray Romain (Gunsmith) has a 6.5/270 reamer that is even better then the standard 6.5/06. It will give a .050" longer neck. He also has the 6.5 Gibbs reamer on the 270 case. With up to 9 more grains of powder capacity, the Gibbs is a dandy and like I mentioned above, will give you added velocity and the wear factor of the barrel, is very good. Ray's phone number is---814-265-1948 if you want to call him. Later DC [/QUOTE]
