6.5 PRC Sherman Improved

70-180fps gains depending on bullet/powder combo.
My 22" is running a 140 Elite at a leisurely pace of 3101fps. This is 1.7gr below max w. RL23.
That's crazy fast for a 22in barrel. Sounds very close to 65 Saum speeds. Might have to give one a try on a 20in setup.
 
6.5PRC, 6.5PRC/SI, 6.5SS, 6.5SAUM

First rifle i ever purchased. Sako 85 in 260. Just got a huge makeover to 6.5 PRC/SI. lol the length i went through to get this done probably warranted selling the **** thing and starting over or doing a prefit build with some sort of adequately priced custom. None the less after opening up the bolt face through LRI, finding a small enough carbon where i wouldn't have to take so much stock material through ragged hole barrels, and then ordering an action wrench from Australia it's done lol. Pretty stoked. Hopefully the Wilson blank shoots well enough

What barrel length did you go with? Did you purchase the reamer or rent the reamer?
