It had NO turn neck from PTG reamer on a Stiller action with McMillian stock . IF you want some reloading data , feel free to PM me and I will dig it up . You could just back it down afew grain. I shot 6.5x300 Weatherby brass and regular loads to fire form my brass, to start with so I have some good medium velocity starter loads some where

The sporters had number five barrels, also 25 or 26”. All were stainless. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions.

Specially when your gunsmith uses your personal range LOL! I have rebarreled my 284 Shehane 3 times since 2010 . Would be much more BUT stopped shooting F class in 2014 A 6.5x300 weatherby should give at least 600-700 rds of use full barrel life
