I know this kind of defeats the purpose... but if you can reduce the powder to get .264 Win. speeds to not burn up a throat(like a .264 loaded to max volume) and have a moderately sized beltless case, I could go for that. Not that I'm really worried about a barrel that only goes 1500 rounds, but it would be an option. I don't really care what Nosler twists their barrels(as I would imagine a lot of others here) because I probably wouldn't buy one of those anyway. One other thing is if they're pushing it, they should always have brass and might develop more 6.5 bullet options. Just a thought...
