[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2257376, member: 71221"] Resurrecting this one again. I finally bought the parts to put this rifle together. I’m still on the fence about 264WM vs 6.5-257 Wby. I like the longer neck in the WBY and I like the Venturi shoulder on the WBY case. I’m still unsure how much freebore I should have the reamer built with (257 Wby has .375”) and I’m exploring die options as well. I already have a 257 Wby, I’m wondering if I can just use the 257 Body die and the proper bushing and expander mandrel to go up to 6.5. Did you ever get you build finished and if so what kind of results are you seeing? I plan to run one of three bullets: Berger 153.5 Long Range hybrid target Berger 156 EOL Matrix 160 VLD In measuring H2O capacity the Norma 257 Wby brass has 1.6grains more capacity than the Winchester 264WM brass that I have.
