[QUOTE="Twodogs10mm, post: 676561, member: 41190"] I think if would have came across info on the Sherman sooner that may have been the direction I would have went. But as you see per my second post I have decided on 6.5 Rem Mag. I have already purchased the donor rifle, a savage 111 300 win mag and #308, 6.5 Rem Mag brass. I'm curious as to what you meant by a three groover pushing the limit on a .264. As yours does appear to work very well for you, I would be very happy if I were to get close to the same results. Lilja claims the 3 groove adds about 20% barrel life vs their 6 groove with out any loss of accuracy, is it accuracy the 3 groove is pushing the limit on? Also if the 3 groove adds 20% barrel life and the average barrel life of 6.5"s in the 6.5-06 class is aprox. 1000 rds your Sherman is already at 50% increase so it appears to my limited experience that your case design is adding barrel life:) [/QUOTE]
