[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1297805, member: 82202"] I would like to build a 6.5x257 wby but custom dies are a problem and I doubt it would be any faster than the 264 win mag. If your bbl is big enough you could get the 257 rebored to 264 win mag. The SAUM probably has it beat in the efficiency dept. I doubt the velocity is greater than the 264 wm. The 9 lug mark v could easily be done in 6.5x300wby and faster than either the saum or the win mag version. Just replace the bbl, remove the spacer and lengthen the bolt stop groove. In either case good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
