| Can anyone lend any info on the 6.5 Reaper, AR-10, over at AR15 Performance.com? It's a complete upper 300 SAUM necked down to .264 (6.5mm). Now is this (6.5mm) comparable to the 300 SAUM? It's a DPMS LR-10 upper with a 22" Krieger stainless match barrel with 1:8 twist. This is all I know. Does it stand up to a 300 SAUM? |

Lane was working on the 264 Rocket. It's a 7mm RSUM to 6.5 mod. I have seen 6.5-RSUM dies since. It was done on a Savage action so we could make switch barrel rifles.
The next was a mod 280 Rem to 6.5. See the common point? 6.5 with High BC's are stone cold killers at long range. It is a great beanfield rifle but you need a good scope to take advantage or the flat trajectory. There is some load data floating around but it is all for bolt guns. Arnalite had a 300 RSUM for a while but I think they dropped it for lack of sales. |

My favorite deer rifle is my Win 70 Featherweight in 280. |
