Multiple Rifles Same Caliber

[ebb]

If I had to have 6 rifles in the same caliber I think that would be the one I would want it to be, good choice !!!!!!

Oh there will be one more a Rem 700 5R style custom in 6.5x55. Love that round.

If going through the expense of a build, might I suggest 6.5x55 Ackley Improved???

Yah thought about it. 10% more case capacity and slightly higher velocity sound good. Buying new dies fire forming brass the appeal lessons.

The other side of the charm of the AI's, LESS brass work!!! Less time sizing/trimming/chamfer/debur for you....which translates into MORE TIME BEHIND THE SIGHTS!! Woohoo!

40 degree shoulder is the beauty in this wildcat.

Fireforming? Use that time to start building a load. When forming an AI from the parent case, rounds tend to be very accurate.

How does it change from fire formed brass from non AI. Obviously there has to be a change. Would it be a double load developing? I usually figure out my case volume, find the powder that fills it to about 85% and start from there. The change in volume would make me start over. No?

Usually, fireforming loads for AI conversions, are at or near the top of book loads for the parent case.
