[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 528681, member: 25383"] if it's Weatherby branded brass, then it's made by Norma. And lets face it Norma brass isn't exactly bad brass (some folks like it just as well as Lapua). The 6.5/300 mag is way way overbore, as the .264 Win mag shows right now (a lot of the problems are once again due to a poor shoulder and neck design). The .270 Weatherby shoulder angle computes to about 48 degrees just like the 7mm WBY mag. add that with the very long neck, and you'll be able to use very long bullets without the base being down in the shoulder area (note nobody says you gotta have a lot of free bore with either of these two rounds). Ackley said that the 6.5-06 was about all the powder the 6.5 could use efficiently unless you went with big heavy bullets. That's why the gains with the 6.5-06AI are not as much as most folks expect to see. I would expect that the 6.5 / 7mm weatherby mags with a lot less free bore would make very fine 1000 yards shooters. The .300 mag is already known to be a top performer in that class of shooting gary [/QUOTE]
