[QUOTE="Monteria, post: 3054827, member: 115565"] If you just want to have fun, you could do a 6.5 frankensweedmoorex57. I did and it was a fun, unique and successful experiment. Run a creedmoor reamer to headspace on a sweed go gauge, lengthen neck to 57mm. 6.5x57 or 7x57 brass run first into a FL 6.5x55 sizing die, then fireformed, and sized with a creedmoor die after that. It obviously doesn't full length resize, but it does size into the web and I have had no issues so far. My goal was matching standard 6.5 creedmoor performance from a 16" barrel, without being a barrel burner and on an existing standard head size action, and I achieved that. It's fun and unique to boot. [/QUOTE]
