New 6.5x.300 Weatherby Magnum

A few years back, a gunsmith in Dawson Ga, BoB(now deceased) had a custom wild cat 6.5/257 weatherby mag Ackley improved. He had built close to 100 rifles on this wild cat and the deer hunters just loved it, shooting 120g Match Kings at 3650 in 26" barrels.

I saw groups and met a few hunters that were hanging around Bob's shop. Bob had reported to him an ungodly number of one shot kills on power lines in Ga and Alabama. I would have never picked a 120g MK as deer bullet but these deer hunters were nothing but grins and giggles over the DRT effects.
 
Ackleyman 11 I bet the 6.5 300 wby would do 3650 with the 120 gr SMK and would make a awesome long range deer round. Do you know if the 6.5x257 wby imp has more case capacity than the 6.5x300 wby?
