Shaen spun together a nice rig for me again. Used my reamer for the 3rd time. Its a 6.5x47 lapua with a .170 throat. So my heavy 6.5x47 built by Dan Dowling using this reamer has always been a fantastic shooter. It wears a medium palma Hawk Hill. So you would expect it to.
This one is a #2 Hawk Hill cut at 19" and threaded for my UL7. I bedded the lug only on the old wood bdl stock I keep hanging around till McMillan gets the Game Scout done. Grabbed some 147 ELD loads from the heavy 6.5x47 stash and thought I'd give them a run in this one. Chambered fine and shot great and the 147 is running 2,600 fps. So looks like no time or components wasted on load development. Since I typically hunt at 8,000 feet or above, that speed works quite well for me.
If a guy needs action truing, barrel chambering, or any other stuff done, I'd recommend Shaen do it.
