[QUOTE="CapDog, post: 701386, member: 6079"] I just made a 6.5x55 Swede with a donor action from a 30-06 Stevens. North American brass like Winchester will have a smaller case head. I use Lapua Brass and have had on piece that was a little big and the extractor had a little difficulty getting around the case. I have done nothing as far as opening the bolt face and I don't see the need to. The long action allows you to seat the bullets way out there if you like as well. In the modern action I am above book maximums and am driving 130gr Accubonds at .270 WIN like velocities. However since it is a more aerodynamic bullet the trajectory should be slightly flatter and there is nothing for recoil on the gun. I've only played around with 120gr A-max as well and the can be driven very fast. [/QUOTE]
