[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 2282642, member: 3455"] Take it to Steve Baldwin. He has a very good selection of 6.5mm reamers. You can set the barrel back and rechamber back to 6.5x47 and you'll have match chamber and fresh throat, or you can do 6.5XC or 6.5CM or 6.5SLR or 260 or 260IMP. My top two would be 6.5x47 and 6.5 SLR - I'm just a big fan of 30deg shoulder.
