6.5 WSM ?

The .270 brass is a little different than the 06 even though they came from the same parent case.

Somewhere I read that the .270 is actually based on the '03 case, not the '06.

Tom-

Don't give up on the 6.5 WSM so quickly. When Winchester anounced the .300 WSM, my first thought was that the WSM case necked down to 6.5 would be a great one.

So I had a reamer made and rechambered my .260 Remington in a short action Model 70 to 6.5 WSM. To me it is a little spookey how accurate mine is. Now that there is Norma Brass available for .270 WSM, the 6.5 is very easy to load for; I had to convert .300 WSM brass to 6.5, a more tedious process. Of course, my rifle is a hunting and sporter application and I don't know your intended use but, I love mine.

Good luck!

I am sorry you didn't look, here is the site http://www.shortmags.org/shortmags/gallery/oldbadger_cat.htm"

Nevermind, don't call IBS. It's only a three shot group.It looks like there are other splashes on the gong, from another gun maybe?

Thank you for looking at the pictures.There is a third rifle in the set a 6.5-284 that shoots equally well.
