[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1234317, member: 91995"] Rich, I am about to begin a build and had kind of settled on a 6.5x55. Seeing all this talk about your new round has me pondering and was hoping you might be willing to answer a few questions for me. I have a Savage 110 30-06 as my project action. I have a smith lined up to do the 6.5x55 barrel work but doubt he is setup to do a Sherman barrel. What all would he need and how much are we talking? How much for a set of dies, yes I already reload? What are we talking in terms of recoil as compared to say a #10 30-06? I'm looking for something that can go beyond 1k and perhaps all the way to the back of my range, 1480, but without beating the crap out of my shoulder. And finally, how much is the brass or would I have to use 270? [/QUOTE]
