The 6.5 SLR has piqued my curiosity as the next eureka thought.


After making my 6.5SLR I discovered there was another. I don't know what the other one is based on, but mine is based on the 9.3X64 Bernanke. It holds 84.0 grains of water to the mouth. Since I like the look of the Weatherby case I made mine with the double radii. I think the .264 Win Mag holds 80.o grains. Recently I've been using a Nosler Accubond 140 at 3,160 feet per second with H1000 @ 66.0 grains. I ran the GSCustom 106HV up to 3,800 feet per second with H4831.

The head on a .30-06 is nominally .273". The head on the 9.3X64 is .500"; although all mine measure .295". This 6.5SLR works through a .30-06 action. Mine is built on a .25-06 Weatherby Mark V six lug action. Below is a photo of a factory case, a necked case and a formed case.
