[QUOTE="JPH, post: 451828, member: 12894"] Gentlemen: In the 6.5-06 category, I have heard (unconfirmed) that the 6.5-270 will hold about 1.75 - 2.0 grains more powder than the 6.5-06 due to the longer neck. Can this be confirmed? This will be a pure hunting rifle with mild recoil (vs. 300 mags) using a 140 grain bullet and I am attempting to get as close as possible to 3000 feet per second out of a 25-26 inch, 9 twist barrel so the extra grain or two is important. I see RCBS is making 6.5x64 dies... Thanks for any input [/QUOTE]
