OK Guys, I'll keep it as a 6.5 X 54 MS. My gunsmith in the USA did say regrinding the magazine was an option but if I stick with the 6.5mm MS I won't have to to that. I see David at Kynoch can make the ammo and he will make it with the woodleigh 160 grainers but charge me GBP60 for a proof fire. Reloading here is a pain but Kynoch has a Spanish agent I think. I'll try and post some pics when it is finished in 2010

best, Mike
