[QUOTE="Nevrsummr, post: 2973105, member: 112260"] I built a 25" 3B with spiral flutes. Was surprised at how heavy it was. If i were to do it again i would go down to a #3. Thats for 7mm. Keep in mind the relation of the bore diameter to barrel diameter. With 6.5 you can go a little thinner profile and still have plenty of barrel thickness around it. Case in point. One day i got to hold a 26" 3B in 33xc. That felt really light compared to my 7mm. [/QUOTE]
