[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1295407"] I'll address the 6.5/300 Weatherby first. It's very cool. I don't know if I'll every make one. Pretty much 26 Nosler for Weatherby lovers. I won't be making a 26 Nosler. They both definitely have the pep and can make short work of a barrel if you are not careful. I would give Redding a call to see if the Type S 257 Weatherby or the Type S 270 Weatherby die would be better to use to make a 6.5. Now the barrel+reamer challenge. Gunsmith. DIY. Send it to Pac-Nor. Other. Not fair for me to say "If it were me" because I'm at the point I'm fitting and chambering barrels but If it work me. I'd get a prefit, reamer If I take that away. Start figuring the costs between sending it to Pac-Nor and the wait vs. getting the reamer and taking the works to a gun smith. My smith was very inexpensive with this. Others not so much. The PTG version of the reamer is [url=http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/5mm-68mm-nopix-showcart-/4377-65mm-x-257-weatherby-reamer.html]PTG Chamber Reamer: 6.5mm x 257 Weatherby[/url] When you call Pac-Nor ask them if they are using the PTG. I went with a 3 groove 8 twist but a 5 would be rocking. I'm just fond of 3 groove. Seems to work for me and works for me when I shoot copper. [/QUOTE]
