[QUOTE="Eric Alexander, post: 2194641, member: 89813"] if you are a fan of the 6.5 caliber, then you might consider the Weatherby 6.5RPM. The beauty of this modification is that you don’t need to modify your bolt face. This cartridge can deliver you the performance of 264 Winchester Magnum but stay within the confines of your bolt face. It is essentially a longer 6.5-284. Order up a barrel with a 7.5 twist and you will be able to shoot bullet weights up to 156 grains with extremely high ballistic coefficients. Have a competent machinist gunsmith install it, ensuring that he trues up the bolt face to the breech face and you will have a serious shooter for relatively little expense. [/QUOTE]
