[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2411840, member: 43193"] i dont think you should give up on a 6.5 western so easy and there is no reason to improve it. I am getting ready to do my second barrel first was a used rechambered for just some testing. case capacity with necked down rem 300 saum brass is 76.2 gr. and 147 and 153 hornadys in the upper 3100 fps pretty easily with H1000 at low pressures and still fit in short action, going long action and loading to 3.1 oal didnt gain much because the extra velocity was outside the node and too hot to make next node with shortened case life. case life with the rem brass has been good so far if you count the fireform load i have 6 reloads and no clicker issues and tight primers even with some pretty warm loads with RL-26 and ramshot magnum that went into the 3200 fps [/QUOTE]
