[QUOTE="SouthTXBowhunter, post: 1296360, member: 13266"] I'm not a weatherby fan so that probably taints my reply. I'd sell the weatherby to fund building the Model 70 into a 6.5SAUM (if you want speed) or a .260 or 6.5Cm if you want a mild but accurate load. I have both a .260 and a Creedmoor but chose to build a custom Creedmoor because of the new Lapua brass. I think the barrel life on all these will be better than a Weatherby and all of them have headstamped brass available. I think the 26 Nosler will have less barrel life and isn't enough improvement for me to want it over the 6.5saum. Another option may be the Hornady PRC that will have headstamped brass, factory ammo with some availability if Hornady's marketing machine does its job. I just can't see any advantage to the weatherby route or the expense of the brass. But I told you I wasn't a Weatherby fan. Lol! [/QUOTE]
