[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1173935, member: 25383"] you really don't want to know what Ackley said about it! The round is similar the 6mm/.284, and that round is well known for being seriously overbore. The 6.5 mag is slightly larger than the .284 case, so your increasing the over bore to even more of the same. Add to this the fact that a 6.5/.350mag case is about as common as a smile from an ex wife. I used to shoot with some guys that were big into the 6/284, and they went thru a couple barrels a year! One got the grand idea of shortening the shoulder length by .100", and adding .050" to the neck length. He lost about 75fps, but the barrel lasted over a year. Another guy tried the same thing and went .150". Lost about 100fps (maybe 120fps). Both guys saw tighter groups, and over double the shots thru the barrel! gary [/QUOTE]
