As stated.
I know the 6.5 is usually a long action.
Just checked my 308W mag box and I have enough room for the 6.5 using tiny 85gn Bergers.
Just toying with the idea of a sporter barrel shooting the lightweights megafast using existing brass and dies.
An around the yard flat shootin cause serious damage to anything fired upon type rifle. Also known as a Zombie gun I quess.
Plenty of bench guns but no work horses.

The mag may work as is. Not entirely sure until I try loaded ammo and the correct barrel would help.
Seems the follower could be improved if it was designed for a wider/thicker cartridge.
Any short mag followers that may be better suited?
Anyone ever try this and succeed?
260 rem would be easier but theres no fun in easy.

Oh yeah, this is an older stagger feed and Yes I am insane. Thnx
