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
So…. What's the verdict?
#2 or #3?
My Max is on a serious tear, Ladd.
I shared it with LTK earlier.

Yes. Both.
If I had to choose just one, that would suck. Good thing I don't.
I have two 6.5SSs and the 6.5PRC/SI.

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?

22" I rented.

I know I have a lot of info out there, but if you have any questions, let me know.

Got it put together. Looks like it's going to feed alright from the 85 308 mag. I've ran 7SS and 6.5 saum just to see if the case head presentation was adequate enough with the 308 mag. Was pretty worried cause i ordered a 300wsm mag for a sako 85 but its in SM which is technically longer than the S size sako 85 below. So i have a feeling that mag won't fit the bottom metal and I'll be sending it back to eurooptic. Otherwise stoked.
