[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1292676"] You probably know that going from 264 to 6.5x284 requires a bolt face change. Since it is already a magnum bolt face staying magnum seems to be the an easier path. Lots of pluses few minuses. 6.5/300WSM 6.5 SAUM 6.5 Sherman Short mag A little divider in the magazine well like Weatherby does and you can choose a spot that will give you plenty of length. Unlike my short action where I am limited to 2.85" but my 300WSM with most bullets is well past 2.95 I might even put that barrel on a long action with a couple tweaks like the magazine divider. I don't know what a 6.5 GAP is. Then there is just staying with your 264 with a new high quality barrel. There is nothing wrong with the 264. If you are not wanting to go "flat out lights out to 400 yards" it's a fine chambering. Same (close) powder as the listed sort mags. Not exotic in any way. [/QUOTE]
