(SIERRA MANUAL HAS IT TOO.)


For some reason, the 6.5mm (.264) flies better that the 7mm (.284), the .277, the .257 and then some.

I too, have one of his .270 rifles - with a primo stock n metalwork job on a Springfield 1903 action.
('Don't think I wanna sell that one!)

Here's a photo of Jim Lewis in his shop (Funny, he told my Dad that he was a SEAL -- maybe not.)
