I know, probably been done, and I remember reading about the 6.5 Weatherby-Wright-Hoyer about 40 years ago, and that one would be pretty similar.
Reason I am asking is, I am trying to trade for a 264 WinMag rifle (which if I am successful would make my FN Supreme Sporting Mauser rifle in 257WBY expendable and immediately for sale) and I remember just how much more I enjoyed my one 7mm Remington Magnum once I ran a 300 WinMag reamer into the chamber. That mutha was some kinda FAST, and I LOVE me some FAST!
So, as I wait to hear back from party number two about my trade offer for his Late Model 70 Classic in 264 WinMag, the wildcatter and speed whore in me started to think up ways to make the great 264 WinMag even BETTER, as in even FASTER.
The Model 70 Classics are long enough to accept a 300WBY case, so I could do a 6.5 Weatherby-Wright-Hoyer, but I like the shorter neck of the 300 WinMag for my 6.5 project. And, the slightly lessened powder capacity of the 300 Win Mag VS the Weatherby might make more sense for my light bullet loads in my new deersmacker. I am thinking, and hoping for, 110gr or 120gr 6.5 TTSX's at 3800fps or a bit better.
Anyone here done this or seen it done?
Wondering if it is uncommon enough (original enough) for me to be able to call it the .264 Safariman
