Im throwing a 6.5mm barrel in the lathe right now, an 8 twist fluted Rock Rem Varmint- going on a surgeon 591R
this is gonna get chambered, painted, then bedded into a McM A5A in McMillan camo, surgeon DBM
Its gonna be either a 6.5 Creedmoor, or a 6.5x47L, (doing a 260 B/A on a deviant tomorrow) I'll pick a reamer in an hour or so, so Im looking for suggestions, will check back in about an hour...
Oh, and this will be for sale when its done
 
Have you thought about a 6.5-300 win? Im thinking of having a 6.5 built.
 
Creedmoor or 6.5x47...Just flip a coin! I don't think you'll have any trouble selling it in either chambering. I don't need one at the moment because I have one of each.
 
I have zero experience with the Creedmore but I love my 6.5x47L. Does the 591 action have a small or large firing pin?
