Id like to second Paddy. He's just built me a .260 that shoots great. All through the build he called me to let me know how it was going. Very nice bloke to deal with.

Well, I've just spent the day in Paddys company, and what a fab day it has been. The plan was for me to take lots of pics, then do a stage by stage write up, on how to do a barrel change, but.... ....once paddy dialled in the barrel, to much less than 1/2 a thou', I was lucky enough to be pressing buttons and twirling knobs, end result, new barrel chambered, head spaced and fitted, by me So, fingers crossed, it'll shoot as well as Paddys own work, time will tell..... Paddy, thank you so much, for everything

It was a pleasure having you here Pete, although the barrel was dialled in to a lot less than 1/2 a thou! looking forward to seeing how she shoots.

Oh, she shoots alright. 123gr Amax, 43gr vv N165 Lapua brass Federal large primers 2.800" oal. That's the first three through the tube, in 10-16mph full value l-r wind at 100 yards. Then a fouler after cleaning tube, and another three, look out bunnies

Welcome to 6.5 class Pete, are you going with the 123g or just using them to run in the barrel?
