[QUOTE="pjk81, post: 3011202, member: 128814"] Swamplord, I was thinking about rebarreling a Ruger 77 Mk II I bought many (~30) years ago in 6.5x55 Swede. I (foolishly) rechambered it in 6.5x284, which didn't work-out too well, for a couple reasons, i.e. feeding issues. And, original factory barrel was 22" - duh! Like that's going to utilize the capabilities of the 6.5x284Win!?! Anyway, I was thinking to rebarrel it in your 6.5 Wolf Killer, since that's based off the 6.5x55 Swede, which the action was made for, i.e. no more feeding problems! And, I will rebarrel it with a ~26" barrel to take advantage of the 6.5 Wolf Killer capabilities. Is there a shop you know of where I can get-ahold of a reamer for that wildcat of yours? I have plenty of 6.5x55 brass, and I can have Lee Precision make me a set of dies for it. I think somewhere I saw a reply from you mentioning a reamer supplier that had made that reamer in the past. I contacted a couple reamer suppliers, and they never heard of the 6.5 Wolf Killer. One reamer supplier mentioned going with the 6.5x55 Ackley instead, but I don't particularly like the 40° shoulder angle. I prefer the 35° shoulder angle you used on the 6.5 Wolf Killer. Also, one reamer supplier noted that the radius shown on the body/shoulder angle seems to be incorrect on your published drawing over on the '24hourcampfire' forum. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
