Would it be intelligent to make this thread a sticky?

Darned Right! Alternatively, post it on the same page as the SAAMI link. Makes for a cleaner sticky list.

Cheers!

Thanks for the link! Very cool. Now, is it too much to ask all "6.5 Grendel" barrel makers to follow this to the letter?

P.S. I've combined both SAAMI and CIP into a new sticky. Thanks all for posting these.

Guess my eyes hadn't started to focus well enough when I posted. Nonetheless that's a good laugh on me!

Thanks!

I don't see the compound angle on the CIP chamber drawing...just the 1.5 degrees

...but the dimension "G1" = 6.65 mm which converts to 0.2618 inches. This is awfully close to the 0.2617" at the same location of the SAAMI chamber. Both are smaller than the bullet diameter. This suggests that a taper between the start of teh freebore to this location exists.

I am still trying to find a call out for the diameter of the throat just in front of the neck. I can find the diameter, Z1 which is the groove or bullet diameter. I speculate that the dimension is implied to be the start of the free bore.
