    Standard or non standard for 30-06 to 6.5-06

    As stated above standard with 1-8 twist. It's old school but many problems can be solved with a 140 grain bullet at 3,000 - 3100 feet per second. 6.5-06 is my favorite wildcat.

    Non ss pin rotary tumbler media?

    On really filthy brass I've used play sand. Doesn't look shiny when done, but free of crud. Finish polish with corn cob is the old school way for shiny brass. I never liked the peening effect caused by SS pins.

    Four extra holes drilled and tapped in the receiver bring any 'collections ' value down. At this point it's a shooter. Good Luck
