[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 1045682, member: 71221"] Oh my goodness. I currently have a proof research blank on order in an 8 twist 6.5mm. I had been considering building a 6.5-300 Weatherby. It wasn't going to give me the performance I was looking for based on data from Quickload. I then started exploring the 6.5 Badger (6.5-338 RUM Improved) and iy was going to be marginal in addition to no data available for a reamer, go gauge, load data or good information on how to form the brass. Now I see the 6.5 Promethius and the support it appears to be gathering. This appears to be the most logical direction for me to go. My barrel will be 28" finished length. I would like to know if you believe that I could achieve my goal of 3500 fps with the 160 grain Matrix bullets in a 28" barrel. I saw where you have made an agreement wi GA Precision to build rifles in this caliber, however I'm more of a buy all the parts myself and have my gunsmith do the work kinda guy. That being said, would you be willing to rent a reamer to my gunsmith to do the machine work for me? If you would like more information about my gunsmith please PM me and we can exchange contact info so you can see this is all legit. As to dies, are you working with Redding to build a set? I use redding competition dies on all of my custom rifle builds and would like to continue to do so. [/QUOTE]
