New Barrel, New Cartridge

[N Jensen]

I have been thinking of re-barreling one of my LR rifles to either a 7-08 or a 6.5 Creedmoor case and necking it up to 7mm. The shorter case would allow the longer bullet 168 or 175 to fit the mag and still allow room for powder. The BC of a 168 7mm is about .540 I think and the 175 is over .600 BC. Should be a good long range gun.

Any thoughts on which way to go?

No answer here, but will 6.5 Creedmoor fit into DPMS/SR25 pattern  Pmags?  Any feeding issues with 6.5 creedmoor?
