Saw an ad someone trying to sell a custom rifle
in 6.5/270. Did I miss that one or is it
a 25/06?

I believe it would be the .264/'06.

Do you mean the owner doesn't know what he has
(it includes dies) or that your cal is the same but with a different name??
JL

6.5-270 and 6.5-06 would be almost identicl, with only a slight difference in shoulder angle/location.
25-06 uses a .257 bullet
6.5-06 uses a .264 bullet (at least on this side of the pond, in the past 257 and 6.5 were sometimes considered to be the same)
270Win uses a .277 bullet
280Rem uses a .284 bullet

JAL

Closest factory round would be 6,5X64 Brenneke

Well stop looking folks.
In Carts.of the World No.10
Hard to find but in the proprietary section
"6.5/270 JDJ (JD Jones has heaps.)
Including for eg a 25/06 JDJ, so I wasn't far out. The difference? "virtually indentical" according to Cart.of the World. I believe
proprietary mostly means you have to buy/hire
the chamber reamer from Mr JDJ.
Also apparently same book says 6.5 nomenclature
coverers from .257 to .265, depending on who is
designing what.
So what's wrong with these people that a 6.5
x 55 or a .270 isn't good enough??

Sir, just noticed your bye line/ end piece
whatever, about the Blazer, I've never seen
more than photos, but what about that other
stuff comming out of Europe, that takes down,
folds up, folds out, does everything but look
like a Rifle, and costs more!
