It Will Be A 6.5-300Wby After First Of Year

[bullet]

Decided to turn my 300Wby into a 6.5-300Wby after first of year. I will have it re-barreled to a 6.5-300Wby #3 Contour 26" stainless barrel, re-bedded in the McMillian Stock, with lighter trigger pull. I will repaint the stock myself.

Looking at Febuary or March for work on rifle to begin, might see it end of April or sometime in May. Will use this as my long range rifle so I can try and catch up with GB300Win or at least shoot with him on those long gas lines at targets and deer. Also, the 338Win mag will figure into some of this just for fun.

Gives me something to shoot for and keeps my addiction and adrenalin flowing concerning my passion for rifles, shooting, reloading and then using it while hunting. Yep, hear we go again. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 64000 psi, or 441 MPa

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Yes, it is a barrel burner so I will not reach it's max potential but try and stay just below it looking for accuracy and letting that 6.5 bullet with great coefficient carry the day down range. Something to look forward to. Thanks for the load info POP.

You need to see if Ed can just mount the barrel with zippers, Mike. It won't be long before your need for speed kicks in and you'll have smoked the thing just looking for a one hole group!

Good luck on the trip out west, by the way. One of these days I'm going to head that way myself. Not today, though, unfortunately.

Another 6.5mm guy :grin: :grin: :grin: The "good" caliber.

I really love the 6.5mm and have had a few 264 win's so far.
I know a couple guys that got 264 win's and shot over everything for the first season with them because the trajectory was that much better than average. And a 264 is a good bit slower than the 6.5-300wby.

Now dubyam, why did you have to say that!!!!! Even though it is the truth!!!! You know, a zipper just might solve my problem come to think of it. :lol:

And the 264Win Mag will last longer.

Oh yeah, will be putting a Timney trigger on the rifle and getting rid of that factory trigger that came with the German Mark V receiver.

140gr around 3400-3500fps. I do not want to push this cartridge at full max charges because that will really shorten barrel life. I will push them just under max and let the great BC of the 6.5 carry the day. I learned my lesson the hard way with my 257-300Wby.

 

[jtoews80]

I think that the slight increase in diameter will help tame that monster 300 case. You could try ball powders over stick or cylidrical shaped powders. Stuff like WC860 or US869. I found that the 860 really kept my 30-378 cooler, but didn't have the 30-378 long after I got my surplus powder. It seems to control the heat a bit in the 7mm STW too.

I have some H870. I will be doing research on what I really would like to do and where to start. I have plenty of time to get my stuff together.

What's with fascination with 6.5 lately. Must be in the water we drink. Here's my latest project. Just got the barrel action from the smith. Still working on the stock. With luck, bullet will be flying soon.

Spec:

Remington 700 Long Action (Blueprinted)
Lothar Walther #3 - 8 twist 26"
Williams Bottom Metal
Jewell HVR Trigger
Seekins 20MOA 1 piece base 8/40 screw
Richard Micro-Fit Thumbhole Laminated Stock

Chambered for 6.5-284

3400-3500 wasn't what I saw with 140's, more like around 3250 with most powders, with H870 being 3279. QL is a guide however and every rifle is different, so it could go either way.

Since you said you dont wanna push it, I sure wouldn't be looking for 3400-3500. 3200 would probly give you a lot better case life and barrel life. Then your down to 264 WM performance and burning 15g more powder to do so, not very efficient. Why not just get a 264??? Better yet get a 264 w/28-30" bbl and your up to 6.5-300 WBY performance just by slapping 4" more of bbl on the end of the 264. Its not the name that makes a cartridge fast, its the real factors like case capacity, pressure, and barrel length

6.5-300 WBY w/26" bbl doesn't gain much for all that much more powder your burning. You really need to put a 30" bbl on it and then you'll see maybe 3450fps with those 140's. You said its a gas line deer rifle/LR rifle which probly tells me your not packing it very much. 4" more barrel really isn't a whole lot more weight, but will give you a lot better ballistics when your burning 85g of powder down a 6.5mm hole.

Just something to think about...

Your comments do make a lot of since, I do see your point. I did some more looking and the extra barrel length is more than reasonable and is needed if I want to get to 3400fps. I have three months to really refine what is needed and my reading while also receiving comments from others like you will get me in the ball park. Thank you

 

[1Shot]

I have a Rem 700 action with a #4 Shilen CM 27 3/4" barrel in 264 Win mag and I am getting 3350 fps with 66.5 grs Retumbo, CCI 250, WW case formed from 7mm Rem mag cases, 130 Nosler Accubonds ten thousands off the lands and it shoots in the .4's at 100 yards. Barrel length is your friend.
My barrel length was what was left of the blank after the threading, chambering and crowning.

 

[Big Squeeze]

Bullet!....................So you gotta burned out barrel in your 300 Wby and now you`re going to a 6.5mm/300 Wby???.........Well ok then!

Even with reduced loads, it`s just a matter of time and rounds when that barrel too, will be flying at 1/2 mast!!... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck!

 

[Antelope_Sniper]

Yes, but it will be a really fun time!!

 

[Big Squeeze]

Yep!...............Havin some speeeeeedy screamin fun in certain cases such as too much overbore is ok, but it does come with a price!!

I like the 6.5s too, but geees! Next thing ya know, somebody will try a 25 or 6.5/460 Wby!...........Barrel cookin time!

At times Big Squeeze you don't understand because you have never gone where some of us have gone with wild cats and you have not enjoyed what we have experienced that can't be found in a book. Somethings just have to be lived for one to intimately understand. What you don't understand is the fun no matter how brief a time the fun last.

Now I have always liked you and we have known each other for quit a while now and we even have a lot of common interest, but sometimes you really don't know what you are talking about. It is not due to the facts of factual knowledge but it is because of your lack of actual real time experience with certain cartridges that limits your vision.

Antelope Sniper is right, it is and will be fun. You might ought to try something before you express such strong opinions. If you did we would be willing to listen more easily to your commentary. Now I did not say you could not nor should not express yourself, but you must come to grips with some of your limitations in what you really don't know.

The world is not just the 300WSM or the Ruger 375 although I know you know much more than those two cartridges. But why don't you reach out and stretch your experience if only once and for a short period of time. I promise it will expand your understanding and be a lot of fun in the process. Your friend, bullet
