I read, many years ago, of someone who used drill bits to rechamber one to .30-06. He drilled out the neck area large enough to take the .30-06 neck and bullet, but left the bore the original 6.5.
Supposedly, the action held, although it swaged the .30 caliber bullet down to 6.5. He did write that the recoil was brutal. Actually, the subject of his letter was why it kicked so much.
This is an "interesting" story, but conspicuously missing is the statement that says how BAD and how DANGEROUS is such a conversion. I know that most folks who post onthis board understand the danger, but it would be tragic if someone less-informed misconstrued this post and actually tried the conversion.
