[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 854767, member: 67515"] I am rebarreling my Kimber .243 to a 26" fluted barrel. Probably a 8" twist Lilja. My interest is to shoot 105 gr pills with better BC for target and hunting. I'm wondering about changing calibers to possibly 6.5MM (.264) using the .243 case. I thought it would be easy enough. Reloading would be no problem. I'm sure it's done all the time but I know nothing about this wildcat. Can you guys tell me what this cartridge is like. Expected velocity with 130 VLD. Is it a good idea? This rifles short action dictates what cartridge size it can take. Is there a better option out there? .243 is a great caliber but would 6.5mm be better? Thanks Ted [/QUOTE]
