[QUOTE="jda2631, post: 1444626, member: 23675"] Since it's a dedicated hunting rig, you reload, and staying with 6.5mm. Look into 26 Nosler too. Barrel life will be under 1000. But it's a laser. Another option to look into is 264 Win Mag. At standard LA magazine length 6.5x284 will be the easiest to load. Any 6.5 magnum is going to work great, especially since you reload. ETA: 6.5x284 will require a different bolt. Since your action was used for a 7mm mag, it will have a magnum bolt face, you will need a standard bolt face. [/QUOTE]
