Not sure, but a quick email would sort that out. If not, I think Lilja may have that profile, and I think Pac-Nor did as well.

Here's a novel thought, why not test drive that 270WSM? It's a heck of a hunting cartridge. My thought, too. Seems like a lot of work where I am not sure the 6.5 PRC offers much more than the .270 WSM. I already have a MT in 300 wsm... So my entire purpose is to get a 6.5 with more snort than the creedmoor. I grew up with a 6.5x55 swede, and really like the wsm platform in the kimbers. Looks like I might have to go a custom contour route? Lilja has a modified 8400 contour a member here had them do for him that would likely meet your needs - I would give them a call.

Lilja has a modified 8400 contour with more meat towards the muzzle, rock creek also did a dupe of the modified 8400 profile for me, I just sent them the dimensions I wanted.
Shaen (shooter71 on here) did the work and it was excellent as always.

24" suppressed is a flagpole...just my opinion.
A spin on the two contour barrels is to duplicate the Fieldcraft approach.

I would dupe to minimize stock work. ^^^^^ This +1 on Shaen as well. I'm intrigued how this turns out.........😎

Ill follow up this thread with range results, kill pics, load data ect..
Should be a cool build.
Going to order the slightly heavier lilja contour, fluted.

Good deal! I like my Lilja 84M modifed on my Federal. When my 84m 308 needs a barrel I'm doing the same thing.

I have a 270 wsm 8400 I picked up for the same reason. I about sent it to pacnor last fall but they had a fire. I still have a 7wsm Montana that shoots great and fits me well.

A fast twist 7mm wsm would be a sweet rig as well, though its too close to my 300 wsm to really make much sense.
The 6.5 makes a nice antelope- deer rifle...300 wsm if deer & elk are on the dockett.
