[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1636945, member: 26227"] I have seen the bulk of the 6.5 whatevers being shot, shot them myself at the range with other gunsmiths after they built the rifles. the Nosler is one flat shooting long range heavy slug flinging cartridge. UNHOLY recoil! I personally do not like it. I do not like any of the 6.5's out there. I am just not a 6.5 fan. but, and this is a big but; I have a soft spot for the 264 Win Mag and the 6.5-06. Just a little factoid about the 7MM rem and the 264 Win.. they are the same case. I forget whom stole the case from whom, but they share the same case minus the neck. I believe from all the 6.5's I have shot that the two I would own are the 264 win and the 6.5-06. I have a Winchester 70 custom chambered in 6.5-06 in shop ready to finish but this is a 1,000 yard target gun. not a hunting rifle. Personally I would probably just rebarrel your 7MM rem mag and resize all your cases and make a really great 264 Win Mag with a 1:8" or 1:7" twist to fling heavy slugs long distances. it will be cheaper, you have all the brass you will ever need, the only thing you will changes you will have are bullet, and reloading dies. This is just my 2 cents worth of advice. later tatters. [/QUOTE]
