[QUOTE="7stw, post: 363199, member: 22854"] Trebark, Thanks for the input, very helpful. The rate of twist was a mental block. I was thinking of my 7mm barrels which are twisted at 1in 9 but I know that the twist for 6.5s are 1in 8. I appeciate the info on the throating issue. My intentions are to use the 140 grain berger VLD bullet, and because of the secant ogive,throating to me could be a issue, but I have had very good luck with standard chambers that did not need any modification to accmodate them at all.And with the 06 action, (by the way, it's a remington) there is ample room to seat the bullet out and still fit in the box if I chose to keep it. I might make it a single feeder, but may retain the magizine for hunting purposes. Boy have I learned a thing or two tonite! [/QUOTE]
