[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2489110, member: 106919"] I had one built a few years ago using one of PTGs trued R700 actions and one piece bolt. Married it to an 26” Bartlein 2B and bedded it in a Manners. Overall it’s probably my most accurate custom I have. I used Norma 25-06 brass initially. Just necked up, COW formed and loaded. Most recently I’ve started to use lapua 06 brass because I have a box laying around I never used. Little more steps, have to trim and neck turn, but not to hard. If I had to do it over I’d do the 6.5-284. No real brass prep, just load and shoot. Dies are also cheaper. My pet load with Norma brass was zinging the 156 Berger at 3030fps. Zero pressure at this node (I was able to get 3120fps with RL26 before Ej marks). About 150fps than I can get my buddies 6.5PRC before pressure. [/QUOTE]
