[QUOTE="SwissTech64, post: 1504298, member: 55769"] Thanks so much for the replies...... I've not had experience with this kind of thing. Have built many rifles in standard calibers from 22-250 to 338 Lapua but the 6.5 Gibbs is new to me. A new casing (Qual-Cart) will not chamber. Have tried to resize the cartridge in the custom made RCBS die that was used to make the original rifle build but the cartridge appears largely oversized for the die. Looking for recommendations. BWI, the smithing on this rifle was somewhat sloppy. My friend who's rifle it was passed away two years ago, a retired Lt. Colonel. A B-25 pilot is WW2. [/QUOTE]
