[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1452075, member: 87243"] If you still haven't made your decision or ordered too many specialized components, the easiest change by far will be a .264 win mag....you will get better performance than a 6.5x284, and with the proper powder selection you will be hanging around in the 6.5 ss neighborhood, you won't have to worry about OAL in the short ruger action (3.430 limitation) you will have perfect feeding since all it is is a necked down 7mm rem mag, where you may/will need your feed rails modified with any other cartridge mentioned, AND you can just resize your current 7mm mag brass and use it!![ATTACH=full]99972[/ATTACH] I just did it, it was originally a 300 wm, now a .264 wm, feeding is perfect, and with the 147 at the lands it is 3.340" OAL and feeds perfectly, with a SAAMI spec throat.
