260ai/6.5x47lapua to 6.5 creedmoor?

[rockrat]

I have a Rem 260AI barrel I got on this site years ago and also, every now and then a 6.5L will come up for sale. Been looking for 6.5AI case dimensions, but no luck so far.
Plan on making a 6.5 Creedmooor and wondering about setting back the AI barrel about 1/8" and rechambering or possibly doing the same to a 6.5 Lapua barrel.

Feasable?

Hello Sir,

These figures are according to my 260 AI, 6.5 x 47L & 6.5 Creedmoor prints :
260 A I : case head to body shoulder junction = 1.658, across the body shoulder junction= .460

6.5 x 47L : case head to body shoulder junction = 1.400, across the body shoulder junction = .4578

6.5 creedmoor : case head to body shoulder junction = 1.4864, across the body shoulder junction = .463

I hope this helps.

It helps quite a bit, thank you very much. Setback is going to be closer to 3/16", but doable. Just got my reamer in today, but no hurry, too cold out to shoot at our range right now!!!!
