For the ones who want to neck down the 6.5 Google the 6mmAR and the 6mmAR Turbo, you can make the cartridge from a 6.5 Grendel, 220 Russian, 6 PPC or 7.62x39. When you wildcat you can just about do anything you want.

Me I would go with the 6.5 Grendel, bullets are much better and you have more choices, but if you didn't want to change your barrel go with the 6mmAR Turbo and keep the 1:7 twist and shoot the heavier bullets and faster than the regular 223. All your into it for then is dies and brass.
