[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 915666, member: 12995"] Why not just use a .264 Win Mag and save a little barrel life? If I was him, and determined to have a hotrod caliber for deer, caribou, and bear, I'd just go with a regular 7mm STW. But, if he already has the 6.5 barrel blank, and wants something truly unique, I'd ream the chamber for a .264 Win Mag, then go back and use an interchangeable pilot reamer, and put a 6.5 pilot on a .257 Wby reamer and make a .264 Weatherby. That should be all the hotrod he needs, while still retaining decent barrel life. :D I'm thinking about building one of them when I rebarrel my A-Bolt II, because of the removable box mag makes you have to load them short, or just about factory OAL...Which sucks, but sometimes you gotta make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
