6.5 which wsm?

[calib]

I have a 6.5 wsm Benchmark barrel that is on a Sako A7, same thread as Tikka. It’s got about 400 rounds down it. 1:8 24” spiral fluted #4. $150. It’s threaded for a break. 1/2”x24 I believe. I got bored and changed it out to a 7 saum.

Ryan,
How did that round do for you

A few tricks you should keep in mind. Biggest one is correct freebore and bullet for your reamer. There is doughnuts in the neck shoulder junction and if you seat deeper than that you’ll have big problems. A 147 eldm was most accurate at 3090 with 24” barrel. I switched to a 7 saum.

You got donuts because you necked down also that is an easy fix you ream them out and they're not a problem anymore, that's not a new trick to stay above the donut

Got my rifle together and will have brass here in a week or so

Tikka
24" tikka 6.5 creedmoor 1:8 barrel re chambered

Pretty much stock except for chamber and brake.

Should be a great deer, varmint and predator gun
