A number of years ago I met a fellow shooter at our range who was a farmer by trade and an amateur gun smith. One of the rifles he had at the range that day was a rechambered milsurp 6.5 X 55 Swede (don't remember the designation). I was interested because I owned one. Get this... he'd rechambered it to .264 Winchester Magnum! He claimed it shot great and was a lot stronger than what was claimed in the press. He compared it to a .30-06 in strength if I recall... At least he didn't blow it up while I was there!
