[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 1989395, member: 115658"] I might add that I like the 6.5-300 WSM and have plans to re-barrel a .300 WM to 6.5-.300WSM for 140's. Bolt face is already opened up. I will include a dummy round with the rifle for the re-barrel job. I would guess the 6.5-.300 WSM case capacity is 90% - 95% of a .264 WM. My go to bullet for my 8 twist 6.5-06 is the 140 Barnes Match Burner with a modest MV of 2850-2900 fps.[ATTACH alt="IMG_0821.JPG"]216506[/ATTACH] 53 grains of H1000 fits inside the case well (room to spare) and heel of boat tail & bullet body is about .010 above junction of neck & shoulder. Round barely fits inside (not as pointy as Berger VLD 140's) 3.44 inch magazine and almost touches lands. Good cheap shooting! Shoots 120 ELDM's at about 3150 using RL23. Barnes MB looks more pointy than I thought and I can get them at .25 per bullet. I turn necks down to .288 - this is important when reforming .30-06 brass. I use a .270 F/L die without decap pin & expander as a body die. [/QUOTE]
