Powder burning, barrel thrashing cartridge there! Efficiency is out the window. I love it!

From what I have read elsewhere (keeping in mind not everything you read is true) It will be based on the .375 Ruger as the object was to get more speed than the .264 Win (assuming a 24" barrel) in a standard length action thus making for a lighter rifle. I did some poking around some load data and the 264 Win should rival it if it is a 26 inch barrel. I will have to do some testing. Maybe I'll get myself a chronograph for Christmas. Either way another 6.5 of any iteration is fine by me. 
Bang...Flop......No tracking required.

I'm surprised that I missed this. This sounds right in line with what I was looking to get from the 6.5/375 Ruger. It would be a great case but barrel life would likely be pretty poor. I imagine that it would be well under 1000 rounds even if you were pretty careful with it.

It makes me want to dig out the reamer prints that I had made a while back.
