Drilling Man is the Subject Matter Expert (SME) on this topic.  Possibly he has some insights...  Do you have a picture?

  I don't have my books where i can get at them, to research this one for you... But off the top of my head it sounds very close to the 9.3x72R...

Drilling Man,


Looks like it is a 6.5x70R. You must have read those dimensions REALLY quick to get a .297" neck to be a 9.5mm
 :o  ;D

Thank you for the help though, I just for the life of me could not find anything that fit it, the customer bought it being told it was a 6.5x58R and that was where I started from, never thought to pull the 6.5x70R out of my memory until someone else mentioned it.

  Your right!  I somehow read that grove of .263" as .363" and of course, that's still a off a bit....

  I've seen the grove all over the board on old guns, so i wouldn't be shocked to see something out of line that much...

  Thanks for catching that for me...
