[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1411068, member: 7999"] It is a stainless in 5R to finish at 31" It was a little expensive since they had to purchase some new tooling to get the 6" twist. That is out of the way now. The other part of this project that will be interesting is how the RUM brass does. Last time we did this we felt that the brass was a limiting factor along with not being able to make our own projectile. If this all works out well it bodes well for running the 6.5 on the 338 Lap imp case and the and 300 Norma imp case. We have the reamers for these as well. Just need another Carl that is as curious as we are??? I think it was said earlier in this thread the reason that we did not use one of these reamers was the fact that we are using the Montana 1999 action and did not think it was a good idea to rung the larger bolt face in it. Particularly since I am sure we will push the envelope on this one. So with some luck we will be sending bullets down range in Aug. Hurry up and wait!! Steve [/QUOTE]
