[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1453264, member: 30902"] I'm with the others, the 6.5x300wby is probably as far overbore as you want to go. With the 6.5x378wby you're probably looking at 300-400rds max on barrel life. There's a point of diminishing returns with respect to case size and bore diameter and you're way past the point of anything sensible putting that much powder behind a 6.5. I had some friends wildcatting back in the 80's and 90's using Weatherby cases and 6.5 and 7mm bullets and they found universally with both that they were reaching the max of practicality with the .300 case.
