[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 970393, member: 1290"] I'm betting it's wrecked in a big way. I would bank on the rifling being smashed everywhere that steel rod was smacking into it as the rod flexed when being hit. With my borescope I can see when stainless cleaning rods have damaged the bore from whacking it with a palm to get a tight patch going. A 6.5-06AI in a fast twist 18" barrel is not really much an option. At 26" it was still considered short. At 18" he will be burning a lot of powder and lucky to get 6.5 Grendal performance. Reminds me of a 22" 300 Wby I once had. 89 grains of 7828 to get 30-06 speeds. [/QUOTE]
