    Oh ok. How much do reamers cost to get made?
    Would it be as simple as getting a 6.5x55 and reaming out a .308 barrel nd putting that on?

    That's the ticket. You're a genuine wildcat designer now.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    What do you call similar? Cause I wouldn't call a 7.5swiss and 30-06 similar yet that's what I have been told its similar too.....

    Here it is again, .308win 6.5x55 then "it" Thinking 30 Tobinator
