[QUOTE="trappererick, post: 763570, member: 57399"] Rich, Appreciate the reply but I am confused by you suggestion of using the Creedmore to better utilize the longer bullets I plan to shoot. The OA case length of the Remington Magnum is 2.8 and the Creedmore is 2.82 not much of a difference. The Winchester action I am using has a useable magazine length of just over 3" and I am seating the Lapua Mega and the Norma Vulcan and Oryx to 3" which is better than the Creedmore with more case capacity. I actually shoot the Lapua Mega in my Remington 600 at 2.8" OAL and it handles just fine. In fact the Lapua Mega at 155gr is shorter than the 130 gr Barnes TSX and the Nosler 125 gr Partition. I know the neck on the 6.5 Rem. is pretty short but the extra length the Model 70 action gives me allows me to seat the Lapua out to the first crimp groove and not extend down into the case. Plus I am not sure I could convince the wife I need another caliber rifle. Thanks again for the welcome. Erick [/QUOTE]
