Rechamber possibilities
Is there a viable option for rechambering a 6.5x58R? Ammo is almost non-existent and making brass (45-70?) would seem to be a complicated affair. Ideas/opinions?

Most of the time it is just as easy to rebarrel as it is to rechamber. My first thought was 6.5-06, but I don't think it will clean up. How about .264 Win. Mag.? I don't have a chamber drawing of 6.5x58R

264 WM or 6.5x68?

Here is the brass: http://www.buffaloarms.com/bro...m=13&catid=40&step=2

Pricey, but a heckuva lot cheaper than re-barreling. Is yours the Sauer or the Krag round? Action type?
