[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 371349, member: 17128"] I think you've made a good choice. When I was considering a 6.5, the 6.5 RM was high on my list. Just a couple of things to consider, getting your barrel chambered will be one of the easiest things to do. Your smith can rent a reamer (then you get what you get as far as your cartridges fitting in the SA magazine)(like my 7 SAUM :D) or you can purchase your chamber reamer and your smith can grind it to your specs. Then you get exactly what you want, but pray you love that cartridge...$$ and you will be able to build rifles in that caliber from now on. :D Also you might want to check on price and availability of reloading dies in 6.5 RM. It was never very popular and dies might be a little hard to come by. I found dies for the 6.5 WSM (a wildcat) right away, the 6.5 RM...not so much. If your budget won't support custom dies, then the 6.5 x 284 or 264 WM will be easier to find dies for. You could always download these last two to get the velocities you have in mind. Good Shooting and I want to see the pix JM .02 [/QUOTE]
