[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 919315, member: 11717"] Yes. If I wanted a hot rod beltless 6.5, I would go with a 7 or 300 Dakota or 7 LRM. The 7 LRM has a little more capacity than the 264 WM and the 7 Dakota a little more than the 7 LRM and the 300 Dakota a little more than the 7 Dakota and the 26 Nosler a little more than the 300 Dakota. All these cartridges require is a neck down which can be done with a simple sizing, neck or FL. Brass would be of equal or better quality at less cost and better availability. You would have to get custom dies which I would recommend anyway fro any custom build. If you're looking to push a 129 gr bullet 3400 fps, the 264 WM should be able to that as I can push a 140 gr bullet 3400 fps (with RL33) in a 6.5 WSM which is slightly smaller in capacity than the 264. Hopefully you are going to order an 8" twist barrel so you can take advantage of the 140-160 gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
