Ive got a rem 700 short action 300wsm but ive always wanted a nice 6.5.
For building off a short mag action, ive been thinking of the 6.5wsm. Im just worried about barrel life unless i can download it like the gap saum and still drive bullets fast enough. But then loading to fit in a wyatts box will seat the bullet to far into the case. I know if im asking about downloading then i shouldnt worry, but if im wildcatting then lets make it right.
So im thinking of taking 270 wsm brass, cant get saum brass in canada very easily, and apply the same 6.5ss concept of shortening the case and "wildcating" a wsm case. Im thinking if you take off 150thou from the sizing die it would work.
Thoughts anyone? Anyone have any experience with this or a different caliber all together.
