I went 6.5 after talking to JD and a barrelmaker thats done huge orders for barrels for military subsonic projects.... but I had lathe turned bullets in mind from the beginning.
The length with 300's is the saving grace of the cartridge as far as aiming it toward the chamber.
My guess is that the new center feed box would do well, but I'd not like building the rifle and find out it doesnt feed.It would be the consistent ejection from a Savage that would make me wonder. Easy enough to ask where its a known commodity.
Also...with a Rem you have the option of a coned bolt.... very nice option in a push feed action.
