I had my Kimber 325 WSM rebarreled to 6.5 PRC by Shawn Williams of Northridge Rifles in Helena in 2019. He replaced the barrel with a 24 3/4" Kimber contour Lilja 3 groove SS, 1-8" twist. He also blueprinted the action and did a masterful job bedding the action and barrel cylinder. The barrel is finished with a 1/2"-28 tpi threaded muzzle.
The rifle weighs 6 lbs 6 ozs without the scope (which has been sold).
I go a bit sloppy coating the barrel with Dyna-Tek and stained the right side of the stock. I have included a picture of that mistake. If I keep the rifle I will have the stock painted.
I have put about 80 rounds down the barrel. I have shot both factory Hornady 143 gr ELD-X and handloaded 127 gr LRX over RL-26 so far. Both were very accurate. The LRX rounds went 3234 ft/sec and grouped 3 shots into 0.298". I don't recall the numbers on the factory ammo, but it was sub 1/2 MOA.
I'd sell this for $1400 shipped.
Thanks!
