Newest fall addition

[brockel]

Did some deal shopping to put this one together. Went over the gunsmiths last night and put this 6.5 Sherman together in a couple hours. Should be a fun one to play around with. Remington action, trigger tech trigger, bell and Carlson stock with my rattle can and sponge paint job, Brux #4 8” twist cut at 26”.

Paint job looks good.

Sharp...bottom metal looks good in that scheme..stainless pops the top. Ought to spin.

Sherman is on my "Buy from Idaho companies" short list. Their say the 6.5 Sherman "runs with the 264WM." But then they say they get 3300 fps with a 140 grainer. That kicks the butt of my 264WM.
Nice looking rig in a great cartridge.

@brockel

If you haven’t bought brass yet, start with 280ai. I was trying to use RWS for my 300 Sherman and the necks after FF was awfully short. I had some throw away 280ai brass and used them to make a OAL case. The necks turned out way more consistent and were average .030 longer.

I have a 100 Peterson on the way and am going to ditch the RWS.

I’ll have some velocities numbers by tomorrow morning g

 

[cahunter805]

I’ll guess 3100+ with the 156s. Absolutely a hammer!
