    Backspace, if you will read back on one of the earlier posts on this thread Layton was offering up his reamer. I think it is at his smith's but I am sure you guys could work something out. I will say, with the results he is getting, I wish I had used his!

    Drink up. Just don't buy all the brass up so the rest of us can still get some! LOL. It is a fun round for sure, and I am really looking forward to playing with the improved version. My smith needs to hurry up though. My mind keeps racing and I keep coming up with other "toys" I need...

    That will be a sweet set up. I found a deal on a gen 1 Vortex 5-20 that I picked up a few months back. I have no idea if they still have them but check out Cameras, Binoculars, Spotting Scopes, Rifle Scopes - Camera Land NY They are good guys to deal with. Now if I could just find a way...

    Oh hardly! I can't wait until mine gets done. As a matter of fact, I think I will call and "check in" with my smith today. He has had 4 weeks... that is enough time right??? I am sure he would love to hear from me =) LOL

    Wow, that is fast! That is probably some of the fastest numbers I have seen for a standard 6.5x55. I will be ecstatic if mine will do this! Especially with the accuracy you are getting. Are you sure there is no secret ingredient you aren't telling us about.... Snail Snot or frog spit...

    The next sub prime scam:

    Wait a minute.... You mean someone who has a track record of not paying their bills doesn't deserve a loan? There are no consequences anymore... and it is bullshit

    I think so too. I am really interested in increased brass life with decreased brass maintenance. Don't get me wrong... I am sure I will work up a hot load for those windy days or to take hunting, but I plan on trying to maximize barrel life as well. So far it has been a really fun project to...

    So Cal... No kidding. I've been to San Diego and it was great. Guess my tour skipped that part.... Backspace, I can't speak for PS-G1 but I am building an improved one as well. I have seen some general comments about performance but really not much actual load data. From what I have...

    Wolf Match Target

    I have a remington 40x that like the "cheap" wolf stuff as well. I have fed mine quite a variety of expensive match ammo and I have found a few that shoot just as well but I really can't say they shoot appreciably better. Buy a bunch when you find it as it will vary a little from lot to lot...

    I can't remember where but I read somewhere, don't bother buying a case trimmer because the cases don't stretch. Just load and shoot. That I am sure is exaggerated but you get the point The standard 6.5x55 case has a good bit of taper to it which causes case "growth" especially if you run...

    I am about to head home myself so likely will be tomorrow sometime before I am on again. Thanks for the offer of the reamer. I already split the cost of one with my smith though.

    I am pretty sure a 6mm will be in my future as well. I Can't decide between the 6cm and the 6x47. That project is a bit down the road for me.... so many guns and so little time! Come to think of it, I have never seen anything about a 6x55.... Bet it would be a rocket

    I understand how the gun slush fund goes. Mine is usually ok until the wife finds out about it. Then all kind of expensive projects seem to come up! Funny how that works.... I will keep digging around for brass. I have got plenty of time and I swear I saw some somewhere at about $65/100...
