I noticed you don't show 223 as well.  Do you have that reamer?

[vixty]

are you able to do a 6.5BR

[vixty]

was the barrel cut a little to make room for the can?    Looks short

[vixty]

Jason,

What does it cost for a barrel and install?

[vixty]

9/16 unless you cut the barrel.  I cut my tikke 35 whelen to 16.5 and was able to use 5/8

Is there a way to get a 300 win mag magazine to work?

[vixty]

I wonder if the 6.5×55 mag is the same length as the 30-06 mag?

[vixty]

I would be dropping the CTR in my XLR chassis which allows the use of the aics mag which allows for loading long.

[vixty]

Thanks for the input.  Is the 6.5×55 a long action?  One thing I like about the 260 is I can set it up as a long action and get a long action mag which allows me to load to the lands.  if the 6.5×55 is already a long action then I my not be able to load to the lands and have the rounds fit the magazine.

[vixty]

All you need to do is get a long action magazine for the 30-06 and then grind the bolt stop a little to allow the feeding from the mag.  By doing that you can now load your bullets long to the lands and they fit the mag.  I did this for my 7mm-08 and it has no issues with feeding and the bullets are touching the lands.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE DOG.  That would make good sense why I always have flyers.

I wish I could get the 75gr Amax to shoot well in my Varmint at the loads yall are using but it will throw 1 of the three shots just about every time.  I've moved on to Sierra 77s but with those as well I haven't been able to get a steady group at the higher velocities in the high 24 and low 25s using varget.

it was the FL size die.  I backed it out 1 turn and now the bolt closes easily. Not sure why I can't do a FL size but o well it shoots .5 moa.  I had to do the same thing for my other tikka as well.

[vixty]

If the brass is once fired in the chamber is it required to bump the shoulder back.  I just got a collet die and thought the neck was the only thing required to be sized and trimmed if needed.  Wouldn't bumping the shoulder back just make it form to the chamber again hence causing stress on the case that's not needed?

[vixty]

I have a pair of stainless that came on my tikka light.  Not sure of the hight, they're just the standard ones that come with the gun.  I assume medium. Just send me a email if interested
