I had to sell my 98 Mauser based 6.5x55,gonna regret it) and I am into new 6.5x55 build again, unless I find factory Tikka locally!
That Mauser was very nice gun, but my smith throated to very long bullets, probably his reamer was designed for original military 154gr round noses. I just told him I wanted that particular caliber, and he used whatever reamer he had. This time I want to avoid this mistake; I want the rifle to be optimized for 140 grain Amaxes and SMKs. I decided to order reamer. But I don't know what to order.,Perhaps I can rent or borrow it from someone?). Any suggestion appreciated.
