[QUOTE="woods, post: 663803, member: 6042"] Another option is the 6.5 Remington Magnum [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/cd65remingtonmagnum.jpg[/IMG] It is like a mini- 264 win mag I have rebarreled two 300 win mag actions into 6.5 rem mags, one with a 26" Douglas and another with a 26" Shilen. Sold the Shilen to a friend and kept the Douglas It is a commercial cartridge which means commercially made dies and cases. Mine will push a 140 gr bullet at 3100 fps and a 130 gr bullet to 3200 fps. It uses a faster powder than the 264 win mag and thus will be easier on barrels. Works perfect in both the long actions I rebarreled. You can set the lands to seat those long bullets way out there [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1163.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1162.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1160.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
