[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1531240, member: 12995"] The SS cartridges are awesome, but in this particular scenario I wouldn't opt for one. The 6.5 SS is based off the wider RUM cartridges, so it would require a gunsmith opening up the feed rails of the action, and him replacing the mag box and follower for that of a RUM. Also, as short as the SS cartridges are, I don't think that would be a good option for a long action 700. I could be wrong, but just taking a guess since they're almost 3/4" difference in length, and the SS cartridges are so short, it could cause some wonky feeding? Maybe Rich can chime in with some experience on this if anyone has done it before? To continue running the same setup he has now with minimal mods (blueprinting & new barrel), the .264 WinMag would be the easiest option, or a 6.5x257 Wby wildcat. [/QUOTE]
