[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 3089671, member: 117715"] 1) Small to medium sized(concealable) semi-auto pistol chambered for 22WMR and/or 17HMR. 2) More a cartridge than a firearm, but a 6.5mm that has more case capacity than a 6.5x55, but less than a 6.5-284, that doesn't use a magnum bolt face, or rebated rim. They do exist sort of. The 6.5x57(necked down 8x57, so it has a short neck) and 6.5AAR(6.5-257Rob AI based on 7x57 so it has a long neck) fit the bill and both have about 62-63gr H2O capacity, but neither caught on, so dies are almost impossible to find, and there certainly aren't any factory rifles currently being manufactured. A slightly more modern case design that is between the two would be great. Limited body taper between a Creedmore and BR, 30 degree shoulder, 57mm case, longer neck than the 8x57, but possibly .050"ish shorter neck than the 7x57 so that you could maintain the 63gr H20 capacity without the short neck of the 8x57 or the 40deg shoulder of the AI. It would be the perfect 6.5mm if you don't mind a medium or long action. I load my 6.5-257AI to a COAL of 3.050", so that's a tall order for S/A.
