James, You said that was an older action. Take a look at the bolthead to make sure it is the modern design with a flat barrel breach.

You are good to go with a prefit purchased from any of our site sponsors or any that you choose like Bugholes.com.

Contact them all, or at least the ones that support this site. I take it that your action will take a standard shank Bbl. ??

First place I would go to would be Jim at Northland Shooters Supply. He usually keeps finished barrels in stock from Criterion and Shilen. I've ordered both kinds from him and they are shooters.

If you want a cut rifled barrel fairly quick (around 4 weeks), check out Southern Precision rifles. I had them do a 300 Norma Magnum. The quoted time was what they delivered. They keep several cut rifle blanks from different manufacturers. You tell them what you want, and they will get it to you.

I don't think Bughole had any PRC reamers 300 or 6.5, As was suggested Northland shooters supply, that was you can you can check two Bbl. makers for your reamer. Also, look at X-Caliber.
The reason I asked about the thread size on your action , in another thread it was suggested that a 6.5 PRC build would require a large shank, ie, large shank action. But checking Northlands site, on Critration chamberings, only SAUM cases require a Lg. shank. And FYI, they do not list either PRC chamberings.

Not sure were you got your information on Bugholes/Southern Precision not having either the 6.5 PRC or the 300PRC reamer. According to Greg Young(owner) at Bugholes they have the 6.5 PRC with .130" freebore and the 300 PRC with the SAAMI freebore.

This AM I googled "Bughole barrels" and got the OLD BH site that listed the reamers, I guess between 08:00 and now 10:05 they changed to the new web site. Will have to see if I can find their listing for reamers, List of reamers, is not listed on their web site
Unless you are in a dire hurry , BLACK FRIDAY,& Christmas, ie; Christmas sales aren't that far off.

You may have looked up a different site. I have used the same site for over a year. He has never listed reamers. Ragged hole barrels list reamers if I remember correctly.

I’m pretty sure I have a new bolt design. That’s what it looks like

FYI NSS can do a 300 PRC in a Shilen but not a CBI. CBI won't do it on a small shank if I remember correctly. Greg at southern precision rifle has a 300 reamer and does excellent work. I have 2 barrels from him. One is a 300 PRC. Both are Bartlien and shoot very well. I also have several CBI barrels and love them. Hope this helps.
