Now you know the Creedmoor crowd don't like it when you bring masculinity and sexual orientations into the conversation.

Speaking of Hammer's rifle reaming services, how does a person go about getting a 6.5 Beanmore done? I can find the brass and dies on the shopping website, but information on how to get a rifle reamed isn't apparent.
How much does it cost and what's the proecess?

Thank you.
In a broad sense, do you know if it makes a difference that it's a Tikka T3x ? Trying to decide to either sell the rifle or convert it for grand kids to use someday.

I think I read that a Creedmoor chamber can easily be reamed out to the Beanmore chambering.
I have a few Tikka, no Creedmoor though.

I believe the .260 cartridge is longer than the manbun case. This means there is material in the chamber allowing enough to cut the chamber to the 6.5 Beanmore .
Pretty sure it was in a thread here. The Beanmore case is formed from a . 260 case fire formed to get the 36.5 degree shoulder.
I think they can, and will take a factory Manbun barrel and cut a new chamber to the improved Beanmore chambering if the barrel is in good condition.
I bought a T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor and sent it to Eric and it came back a 6.5 Beanmore. I have purchased the Beanmore brass and Petersen 260 Rem brass from Steve and prefer the Petersen. Both will have to be fire formed but shoot well enough to hunt with in their pre fire formed state (much like shooting 280 Rem in a 280AI. Currently developing loads for 80hht and 112hht.
