[QUOTE="jrw1976, post: 446901, member: 24286"] Ok guys, here is my idea I want to make myself an all seasons tractor gun out of my savage 110 that is already chambered in 7mm rem mag. I am thinking of having a barrel made in a varmint contour and chambered in 6.5mm rem mag. The reason I chose this caliber is because since it is a magnum diameter case I can just swap barrels at my whim. I can also load the 6.5 at what ever length I want because of the long action and it is not as powder hungry as my current tractor gun the 7mm. I know what your thinking it is ballistically close to the .270 but I already have two of those and I need a 6.5mm. I think this plan could work out well for me, I can swap to which ever caliber I choose depending on my mood and I feel economically I could shoot it more compared to the 7mm. Well guys let me have it what do you think. Thank you, JRW [/QUOTE]
