[QUOTE="woods, post: 592308, member: 6042"] Hey coyotenut, I have a 6.5 rem mag that was a rebarrel of a long action 300 win mag and a friend liked it so he had one done also. Mine was a Browning BBR 300 win mag with a detachable magazine and I put a 26" Douglas #4 contour 1 in 8 barrel on it. His was a rebarrel of a Weatherby Vanguard 300 win mag and he went with a 26" Shilen #4. Both of the rifles feed great, I would say even better than the longer 300 win mag cases. First question would be; are you going to have it on a short action or long action. If at all possible I would recommend the long action. In a short action those looong bullets will intrude on your powder capacity and reduce your capabilities, not to mention short actions can have feeding problems. I have shot 140 Sierra Game Kings, 140 gr Hornady Interlocks, 130 gr Nosler Accubonds and 130 gr Scirrocco II's, all with great accuracy. Right now I am shooting 130 gr Scirrocco II's at 3200 fps with RL17 cause they are tough bullets that won't fail.
