Medic wrote:Just putting the feelers out there to see if anyone is interested in going in as a group to rent or buy a reamer for 6.5 Sherman through a good gunsmith I trust. Basically it’s a necked down, blown out 270 to 6.5 with a 40* shoulder with more case capacity that has amazing velocity and barrel life shooting 140gr VLDs at 3300+ out of 26” barrels. It by all reports is a real cracker, real efficient, accurate and easily formed load. Sherman now even have their own brass head stamped. I’m really keen and “factory” brass is available. I has it a guess a 6.5-06 AI die would still probably work to bump shoulders back if needed but dies are also available. I think for those wanting more out of the 06 size case this, is, it! If anyone is interested post below, I was gonna get a 7mm rum but I like my 6-06 lightning rod pushing 65gr vmax at 4300... this way I can use the same brass! Ha! Who’s keen? Remember your tax dollars are here to be spent!

Good idea BR...a tank...!!!
My bunny property is real big so a big tank will save having to open gates atleast...
But while im happy to get 2 bunnies with one shot... i dont want to get 15 rabbuts with one shot...i dont think the farmer would be happy with big holes left in the ground...!!
I should use your 222...

Hard to see the appeal really and I love my 6.5s
