[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1476204, member: 65338"] Poor brass quality is what's killing some of the belted mags for me. When I can get top quality Lapua or Peterson brass it just makes life easier, especially when pushing speed limits. My son and I still shoot 6.5 Remington Magnums. Both very fast and extremely accurate. With 1 in 8" twist 26" long barrels, they will both push 140gr Berger over 3200 fps using various slow burning powder charge weights less than 60 grains. So they are also very efficient considering bullet speed to powder charge ratio. Down side is that since Remington brass is the only thing available for the 6.5 Rem Mag, you have to be careful when hot rodding the cartridge to its maximum potential of about 3230-3250 fps with 140gr bullets because the primer pockets won't last. The 264 Win Mag has the same issue with available brass. It's a fast round, but be careful pushing it to its full potential. [/QUOTE]
