[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 543058, member: 20245"] Very nice! I just spent the last few hours prepping 300 win nah Winchester brand brass for my 6.5-300 win mag (dubbed: 6.5mm Voodoo). Will be testing a new powder lot (Retumbo) as well as some 140gr Amaxs to compliment current diet of 140gr VLDs. I think when this barrel is worn out, I will try a 7-300. Interesting you size them down in 3 steps, I simply used a 7mm rem mag full length sizer to get them to .280 inside neck diameter, then .264 win mag die to reduce them to .261" inside neck dia. Ballistically I believe the two are very close, both well ahead of the 300 wm. Yours carries more energy and better barrel life, at the cost of more recoil. I think it's worth it though. Will have my suppressor anyway by the time I wear out my 6.5 barrel so recoil isn't really a consideration anymore, then the 7mm wins outright! [/QUOTE]
