There's nothing new about this. A gunsmith in Dalton Ga is Ackley Improving the 257 Weatherby, necking it up to 6.5, and shooting the 120g bullets between 3650 and 700 fps.
Last time I talked to the gunsmith, he had built over 150 of the rifles in the 6.5/257 Roy A.I.
He uses Rem 700's and Win Model 70's for a platform with 26" barrels, none of his guns have blown up yet. I reckon he does not know his ass from third base either.
Most of the die hard wild catters will not even post on this board due to the BS like you read on this post.
It would really shock most people to know the pressures that a 6PPC generates that benchrest shooters use in the loads that win matches.
