[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1766488, member: 41124"] The reason for not doing this is, I really want to build on a model 70 from the year my parents were born. Should be a super classy gun when all said and done, with a jeweled extractor and bolt and a AAA Fancy Walnut/Maple stock. The problem there being, when you seat a longer 6.5 mm bullet out so that only the boat tail is in the case it is too long for the action, thus the shortening. Also, when you shorten the shoulder but blow out the body you really don't loose any case capacity if any. I feel like the case capacity could be slightly larger and be fine but we're getting to the top of the bell curve. So you're not going to gain enough velocity (at the same pressures) with 5 more grains of capacity, to make any difference, especially at long range in your trajectories or killing power. [/QUOTE]
