Merry Christmas y'all !

Received dies today !

[hill37]

What dies are you using?

[Bat Rastard]

I will be using Redding bushing dies.

[Bat Rastard]

I mis-spoke earlier today. I have had the dies for a while, except for the smaller bushing.
I received the reamer today!

[LtDan]

Ok I'll be sending you 3 barrels tomorrow can I get them back by Tues?

[Bat Rastard]

Nope. Now I will wait on my friend with a lathe to say "let's do it!"[ATTACH=CONFIG]15171[/ATTACH]

Bat a question about your 243 grendel reamer. Does it have the compound throat? Did they provide a spec sheet?

[Bat Rastard]

It didn't come with a spec sheet. They had the reamer in stock, so it is whatever they have standardized.
I have not got it chambered up yet. So I don't know what the throat is.
This is a multi layered project.
I have a Ruger77 VT in 243. I am rebarreling it with a Bartlein chambered 6.5 Creed.
The used 243 barrel will have the chamber cut off and rechambered to 6Grendel. That barrel will be threaded to go on my Ruger American currently chambered 6.5G.
There's a lot of pieces to the puzzle, but I think it will work.

Got my rifle yesterday! Shot it today. My plan to recycle the old 243 barrel didn't work out. Went with a Bartlein instead. It took me 6 rounds to get on paper at 100 yards. Shot 3 groups of 5 in the 1" range. Conditions were quite bad, snowing and such. I have work to do, but at least I am finally doing it!
