Can't see the need myself..go short,stay short.You have a setup for the 06,so why not?Feed issues could crop up,but I don't Remingtons,so it might work.
Since one has to neck up/down brass for 6.5-06, one could argue the point that they could use Lapua 30-06 brass.

What's a 6.5 Sherman?
When that round's parent case (6.5x.308) was first used, 'twas in a pre-'64 Win. 70 classic long action with a standard .308 Win. box magazine. Any long action can be used but there'll have to be a spacer at the back of the magazine and a longer bolt stop.Is a long action Rem700 for the 260 Rem a good choice ? feeding problems ?
The 6.5 Sherman looks and sounds suspiciously like a necked down 7mm JRS...
which is not a bad thing at all...
gunwriter Jon R. Sundra who developed the 7mm JRS by maximizing the 280 Rem case, claimed it to be "close" to the 7mm Rem Mag....
that would mean the 6.5 Sherman could be "close" to the 264 Win Mag

They are all in the same family but the JRS has more body taper and a 35 degree shoulder. The Sherman has a little more capacity.........Rich
And how does the 6.5 Sherman not eat up barrels if it has more case capacity than the .264 Win Mag? Wouldn't it just be more overbore? How does it compare to the 6.5 STW?
