[QUOTE="KMG, post: 1331790, member: 41928"] This is a little reminiscing mixed with high expectations. I was going thru P. O. Ackleys' "Handbook for Shooters & Reloaders, Vol. 1, the other day. I've always had a certain affinity for the 6.5 so to speak. Upon reading I had forgotten about the mention of 200 grain 6.5 bullets. They were being experimented with in the 6.5 Barnes QT & the 264 Win Mag & this was proof to the 1962 copyright. With the vast amount of improvements that have been made in the loading reloading industry over the decades. I for one would like to see what a projectile of such proportions loaded in one of today's Super Mags would be capable of. I know these were long round nose bullets with huge bearing surfaces back in the day, but this is 2017, 55 years after this information was printed. Just think of a 6.5mm bullet in the 180 class even, maybe Styled along the lines of a Berger Classic Hunter to keep overall length down. Personally I'm thinking more along the lines of the 7mm 195gr offering in a 6.5mm tho! Speculation, Pipe dream, Food for thought? Sometimes it's how they become reality. KMG [/QUOTE]
