Default Looking for some rare ammo

Hey there I just acquired an old Remington model 600 in 6.5mm Remington mag and I'm having a hard time finding ammo for it, anyone have any ideas of where I might find some ?
Thanks in advance

Todd

Howdy Todd, just did some quick research as I'm sure you have done but it looks like the redding die set that forms .264 mag brass from 7mm or 338 win mag is your best bet. i'm a big fan of having rare and unique items, as much as the chase for them is a entertaining challenge , it's frustrating not being albe to shoot your rifle..

but I don't know where you would find it this side of the line.

P & D has been good to me, for odd ball/ uncommon ammo, otherwise you will have to build your own.

Like in Canada? Lol Epps should have a couple three boxes, doubt raynershine would have loaded ammo for it.
Gun shows and auctions a bit here and there ( I found my first stuff at Wards in red deer)
Only other thing would be a little small town out of the way shop may have an odd box kicking around. Ya really gotta hunt around to find it, sweet round!

If you get into a jam, I could load a few to your specs if you supply components.

There was a guy selling a bunch of fresh ammo on here or CGN. My brother bought some from him, and was happy with the product and cost. Try some searches on both forums.
