Its been a goal of mine to expand on the chambering of various rounds for the SKS, just haven't quite got around to it yet, but I will. The advantage of the tapered snd short mag casings is a lower chamber pressure than magnum or straight wall casings, at heavier loads.
I love the passive mechanical cycling of the SKS vs direct blowback cycling. The engineering which is over 90 years old has yet to be duplicated effectively. So, in the spirit of Simonov and Tokarov's design I would like to start with chambering the 6.5 Creedmoor in a SKS.
I will update this post in the future as I get the primary machining done and have a good start on it.
P.S. The gas exhaust port on the top rod tube was moved forward after the redesign for the 55' model... hint hint
