[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1901710, member: 109862"] Understanding that I’m derailing my own thread here, I just have to say it’s amusing to me that this “newly discovered” 6.5 craze comes after a century of North American rejection of 6.5 calibers and that the most popular 6.5 at present duplicates exactly the same ballistic performance of that old Swedish warhorse. “There is nothing new under the sun” the teacher writes in Ecclesiastes...he would have found no exception to his observation in the fads of gun culture! On the topic of builds, yes absolutely do something unconventional! I’ve yet to build or wildcat anything but very much want to get into that a few years down the road hopefully, two chamberings at the top of my to do list being the 6mm-06AI and the .30-338 lapua ai.
