[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 818305, member: 1521"] I built a 6.5wssm and can probably answer your questions. To begin, I would not bother with necking up 22cal to 26cal. That's too much work with necks ~20thou thick! I recommend the 25cal Win reloading brass. If it's a wssm action then you're at a good starting point right there. I like A-Bolts myself, but my 6.5wssm was built using a single shot BAT action. You may need to have the ejection port extended if you ever plan to eject loaded rounds without pulling the bolt(they are not short cartridges w/140gr bullets). What kind of bolt does your action have? is it controlled round push feed? Button ejection, or standing blade? The 6.5wssm has plenty of anything needed in 26cal, and IMO represents an ideal capacity for 140gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
