[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 476125, member: 11717"] I'll initially work up RL17 and Retumbo. Something to remeber... My primary bullet will be on the light side and offer much less resiistance than standard bullets. The GS bullet is a different animal than a 140 Sierra or Berger. It will allow for a faster burnig powder (RL17 being very close to H4350) Now I'm not saying that I know RL17 will work, but I think there's a chance. And if it doesn't, oh well... it will still shine (albeit maybe not quite as brightly) Why not a RUM? A couple of reasons... the 375 will fit in a Howa action and a RUM won't. This (and the 300-375) will be budget builds. I picked up a NIB 300 Weatherby Sub MOA SS Vanguard for $725. I'll sell the TO barel for about $150 and replace it with a match grade custom... and after some smithing and skim bedding, I should have a tack driving rig for about $1500 or so... another $250 to nitirde the barrel and action Also, I am certain that RL17 will not work in the 6.5-RUM, and if it does work in the 375, I think it will match any 6.5-RUM load with a lot less powder. With any case larger than the 375, I would build off of a larger custom action which would likley be a Defiance and I woud go with a Lapua based case. The 375 is about as far as I want to take the 6.5 bullet and IMO, it is a very well designed case. [/QUOTE]
