Lawrence precision definitely will.

However, 6.5 cal is nothing new so would imagine pretty much every moderator manufacturer would do them?

Their compatibility chart shows the .25 cal moderators to be optimum for 6.5/.260.

Aye - stand corrected!

I knew that they did one close to .270, as I'd been after one for my 6.8
In the end I opted for the .30-cal size: as it's less of a mess to use, not swaging the jackets off passing 6.8 bullets like the .25 moderator would be likely to do...

I've got one of their .25 cal S5's - it's good, very heavily built. I even ran it on a larger calibre for a little while, but bottled it when I sat down and thought about the rather slim internal clearance the bullet had!

It all depends on the tolerances of the muzzle thread, but shootings a pastime where you don't get many second chances!

VERY much - as with most Finnish makers (Sako, Tikka, Lapua, etc.) = top quality kit
