7mm08 conversion to 6.5cm

I don't hand load but friends of mine do. Savages detachable box mags like on my model 10 are pretty good.

If you hand load 6.5 to full length potential you might want to invest in a mag conervsion. Long story short, 6.5 CM fits in 308 mags.

Let me see if I am understanding what you are saying...You are saying the 308 mags (used for 7mm08 as well) will work fine for the 6.5cm as far as holding the cartridges in place and allowing them to properly cycled forward into the barrel by the bolt...etc. However, there is some sort of conversion which can be done, to allow you to seat the bullets much longer...if I desired that. id think the 308 cartridge length is longer than 6.5cm cartridge, so in theory would allow for plenty of room to load bullets a little longer. Is that what you mean?
