[QUOTE="trappers son, post: 1758644, member: 48330"] Sounds like a nice concept... I built mine in 2014 and was just looking for a project to work on with the Berger bullets in a weatherby rifle that has been in the family for a while. I love weatherby actions, the consistent norma brass and was just looking for a bit more case capacity so it would shoot fast at a low pressure. I was building it for my own needs and wants, not to compare with others. I have always thought that a perfect case would be a short mag 91 grain case capacity and a long thin walled neck... Too bad most of the people in the big game can't see the potential for a case like that built by a high end brass company. With the trend going towards high weight high bc you would think it would be a no brainer... Weatherby ran the wrong way in my opinion. They should have built a gun and case around the high end heavy for caliber bullets instead of making a case run around a lighter shorter action. They will have issues with short mag boxes with custom reloads. 6.5 is not an efficient long range cal... And a rebated rim is just a nosler knock off... [/QUOTE]
